Class I Animal Refuse Station
CLASS I PERSONNEL PROTECTION | INTEGRATED WASTE CHUTE | DURABLE STEEL CONSTRUCTION | BASE WITH CASTORS FOR MOBILITY
The NU-608 combines NuAire’s expertise in containment with its understanding of animal handing work to provide a cage dumping station that is safe, mobile, ergonomic, and durable enough for the vivarium. The EC impeller creates a powerful 105 FPM (0,53 m/s) inflow to protect the user as they easily reach through the 14” (356mm) work access opening to dump refuse into a rectangular waste chute built into the stainless steel work surface. This work surface is easily raised for efficient replacement of the waste bag underneath. The work zone is surrounded by cleanable and durable stainless-steel side walls and set on a telescoping base with castors that allows both easy movement and height adjustment to fit every technician. LED lights provide long lasting and efficient illumination in the work zone, and users can easily monitor cabinet performance through the Aeromax™ control system that visualizes pressure in the cabinet’s internal airflow plenum. A visual and audible alarm activates when parameters are unsafe.

Accessibility
Large Access Opening
The NU-608 features a large 14-inch (356 mm) access opening that allows easy access and movement of the largest rat cage to dispose of waste while maintaining personnel protection with an air barrier of 105 fpm (0.53 m/s).

Effectively Remove Waste
Stainless Steel Bang Bar
A robust stainless steel bang bar is featured over the waste chute. This allows animal laboratory technicians to actively strike the mouse or rat cage opening over the refuse receptacle to remove stubborn bedding stuck in the cage.

Minimize Risk
Easy Waste Bag Attachment
The AllerGard NU-608 offers an easy method to securely attach the waste bag to the chute without tools. The attachment method ensures the waste bag stays in place, minimizing the risk of exposure to spilled waste.

Odor Reduction
Charcoal Filter
Introducing a charcoal filter in the exhaust air path captures odors produced in the work zone before they are released into the laboratory environment.
