Even when closed, chemicals stored inside safety cabinets can release harmful vapors.
Air Filtration System for FM Cabinets
Even when closed, safety cabinets can release harmful vapors from stored chemicals. The Justrite Air Filtration System removes VOCs (volatile organic compounds), protecting your team's health, improving indoor air quality, reducing risks associated with the buildup of these compounds, and helping you stay compliant, all without the need for expensive ducting or building modifications.
Health risk to employees
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can accumulate inside cabinets and leak into the workplace, leading to headaches, dizziness, respiratory issues, and long-term health problems with prolonged exposure.
Fire and explosion hazard
VOCs are highly flammable. Without proper ventilation, vapor buildup inside a cabinet increases the risk of ignition, especially in environments with heat sources or static discharge.
Cabinet integrity degradation
Some VOCs are corrosive and can damage the interior lining, seals, and materials of the cabinet over time, compromising its protective function.
Regulatory non-compliance
Many workplace safety standards (such as OSHA, COSHH, and EU regulations) require effective ventilation or filtration of hazardous vapors to ensure a safe working environment.
Reduced indoor air quality
Undetected vapor leaks from cabinets without filtration can degrade indoor air quality, affecting not just lab or facility staff but the broader workplace environment.
When Ducting is Not A Possibility
Proper ventilation is essential when storing hazardous chemicals indoors.
Traditional ducted fume extraction systems have long been the default solution, but they are not always feasible.
Whether you're working in a historical building, a flexible lab environment, or simply trying to avoid costly infrastructure changes, the challenge remains: how do you maintain compliance and safety without permanent ductwork?
While ducted ventilation systems are highly effective, they come with limitations such as:
| Structural barriers | In older or listed buildings, drilling through walls or ceilings for ductwork may be restricted or outright banned. |
| High installation costs | Installing a permanent ducted system can cost thousands in both materials and labour, not including permits or architectural consultations. |
| Lack of flexibility | Once ducted, cabinet placement is fixed. This makes it difficult to adapt to changing lab or storage needs. |
| Air loss concerns | Ducted systems remove conditioned air, increasing HVAC loads and energy costs. |
These issues have prompted a shift toward more adaptable solutions, especially in educational, research, healthcare, and industrial settings.
Why Do I Need an Air Filtration System?
The Justrite Filtration System actively removes harmful vapors from your FM-approved safety cabinet, improving indoor air quality and protecting your team. Unlike passive venting, it requires no ducting and installs in minutes — no tools, no fuss.
1. Air ventilation inside and outside the cabinet ensures a clean and healthy workplace.
2. Eliminates harmful vapor buildup at the source.
3. Energy-efficient system recirculates air, preserving climate-controlled air.
4. Installation is easy and fast with no need for ducting or expensive building modifications.
5. Ensures compliance with ATEX approval and CE certification.
Key Features
Engineered for maximum safety, durability, and compliance.
Visual Fault Indicators
Easy Filter Replacement
ATEX Certified
- Clear visual indicators ensure easy identification of issues. Green for normal, and red for a fault for, fan functionality, air intake, and filter saturation.
- Simply unscrew and remove the filters to replace with new ones. Filter saturation light for clear visualization when the filters need to be replaced.
- ATEX Certificate allows the filter to be installed in a non-hazardous (safe) area.
Compliance & Peace of Mind
The Justrite Filtration System actively removes harmful vapors from your FM-approved safety cabinet, improving indoor air quality and protecting your team. Unlike passive venting, it requires no ducting and installs in minutes — no tools, no fuss.
The Justrite Air Filtration System is built to meet European and international safety standards, offering:
- Filter efficiency of 99.9% for solvent vapours.
- Continuous airflow monitoring.
- Visual and audible alerts for low flow or saturated filters.
- Smart technology that automatically adjusts fan speed based on cabinet pressure.
This means you're not only compliant, you're also protected from unseen hazards that can build up over time in enclosed storage.
When ducted ventilation isn't an option, you don't need to sacrifice safety, compliance, or flexibility.
Recirculating filtration systems, such as the Justrite Air Filtration System, provide a powerful alternative that's easy to implement and maintain.
Whether you're retrofitting an existing facility or designing for maximum flexibility, filtration systems unlock new possibilities for safe chemical storage without compromising walls or your budget.
