Beck's plastic components are resistant to a wider range of chemicals than stainless steel, particularly halogens and acids. Furthermore, they do not produce corrosion by-products that could contaminate experiments, and installation is significantly easier due to their lighter weight.
Precision ventilation technology for safe laboratory environments
Highly durable, adjustable exhaust air systems for varying laboratory loads
Modern laboratories place the highest demands on safety, flexibility, and control accuracy. Whether fume hoods, exhaust hoods, or technical zones—Beck components offer you chemical-resistant materials, flow-optimized fittings for low noise emissions, and precise airflow control. From research to quality control: Our solutions adapt flexibly to changing requirements and ensure decades of reliable operation.

Highly durable plastics for long-lasting protection
Beck molded parts made of PPs / PPs-el are permanently resistant to laboratory chemicals and ensure corrosion-free exhaust air flow for decades. Unlike metal pipe systems, which are attacked by aggressive vapors, our plastic components retain their functional reliability and prevent contamination by corrosion products.
Flow-optimized for low noise emissions
The seamless bends reduce turbulence and ensure low pressure losses—a key factor for quiet, adjustable laboratory fume hoods. In sensitive work environments where concentration is essential, this makes a noticeable difference in work quality.
Ideal for variable flow rates (VVS)
The dimensionally stable, smooth inner surface enables precise and rapid control responses to changing laboratory fume hood loads. Constant flow controllers and tight-sealing butterfly valves respond instantly to changing usage patterns and maintain setpoints with exact precision.
Flexibility and safety for sophisticated laboratory designs
ATEX Options for Laboratory Areas with Flammable Substances
Conductive PPs-el systems prevent electrostatic charging in fume hoods containing solvent-laden or flammable laboratory air. These components offer additional safety, particularly in organic chemistry or analytical laboratories where acetone, ethanol, or other VOCs are used.
Flexible layout for space-constrained installations
A wide variety of molded parts allows for tight radii, compact installation heights, and custom adaptations—ideal for space-constrained laboratory ceilings and utility zones. The innovative EffiTech plug-in system also enables tool-free installation and easy retrofitting later on if usage concepts change.

How does flow control work under varying loads?
Our constant airflow controllers automatically maintain a constant airflow, regardless of pressure fluctuations in the system. In variable airflow systems (VVS), precise dampers allow for exact adjustment to the actual usage of the exhaust system.
Are Beck systems suitable for solvent fume hoods?
Yes, the conductive PPs-el version is particularly well-suited for fume hoods handling solvent-laden laboratory air. It prevents electrostatic buildup and meets ATEX requirements for potentially explosive atmospheres.
How loud are Beck ventilation components when in operation?
The flow-optimized, seamless design results in significantly less turbulence and thus lower flow noise compared to segmented metal bends. This contributes significantly to a quiet laboratory environment.
Can laboratory facilities be expanded at a later date?
Yes, the modular Beck system—and especially the tool-free EffiTech plug-in system—enables easy expansion and modification without welding, making it ideal for the dynamic demands of research and development.
What are the typical diameters for laboratory fume hoods?
For laboratory fume hoods, diameters ranging from DN 100 to DN 400 are typically used. For central collection lines and main runs, we offer larger sizes up to DN 1400.
Do Beck components meet laboratory safety requirements?
Yes, our components are designed for maximum leak-tightness and prevent the release of hazardous vapors. Material certificates and technical documentation help you comply with safety regulations.
Are you planning a new laboratory or upgrading existing fume hoods?
