Fume Hood and Containment Door Actuators
Fume hoods and containment enclosures are critical safety systems in chemical manufacturing, laboratories, and clean processing environments. Automating the motion of their access doors improves user protection, process control, and operational efficiency, especially in high-throughput or remote-handling applications.
Controlled Access. Enhanced Safety. Reliable Automation.
Helix Linear Technologies provides compact, corrosion-resistant lead screws and linear actuators used to automate fume hood sashes, containment doors, and glovebox access points. Our motion components offer smooth, reliable travel and can be customized for integration with interlock systems, sensors, or touchless controls.
Designed for chemically harsh and particle-sensitive environments, Helix actuators help ensure that safety barriers move with consistency and confidence, protecting both personnel and products.
Key Benefits:
- Smooth, repeatable motion for horizontal or vertical containment door actuation
- Chemical-resistant materials and coatings suitable for lab and industrial use
- Compact actuator designs for space-constrained enclosures
- Compatible with automated safety interlocks and environmental control systems
Helix builds the motion behind safer access, empowering equipment that protects people and processes in every cycle.
