The SSH Series
These sound protection hoods are designed for the insulation of backing pumps, as they are often used in analytical laboratories. Due to the variable concept and the different types, almost all pumps can be insulated.

Model SSH07
Sound protection hood for insulating small laboratory pumps up to a size of approx. 230x250x400mm (WxHxD) such as Edwards RV3 or Varian DS102.
Product details
Model SSH11
Sound protection hood for the insulation of the most common laboratory pumps up to a size of approx. 230x250x600mm (WxHxD) such as the Edwards E2M30 or Varian DS602.
Product details
Model SSH35
Sound protection hood for insulating larger laboratory pumps up to a size of approx. 400x400x650mm (WxHxD) such as the Edwards XDS35i or Leybold SV40BI.
Product details
Model SSH36
Sound protection hood for insulating larger laboratory pumps up to a size of approx. 400x400x850mm (WxHxD) such as the EBARA EV-SA30.
Product details
Model SSH22
The model SSH22 is suitable for housing and insulating two vacuum pumps in one sound protection hood. The maximum pump size is approx. 230x270x600mm (WxHxD).
Product details
Model SSH70
The model SSH70 offers space for two large laboratory pumps with the respective maximum pump sizes of approx. 400x360x700 (WxHxD), such as the Edwards XDS35 or Leybold Sogevac SV65BI models. This makes sense especially if the mass spectrometer requires two backing pumps of this size.
Product details
Model SSH-LU
This sound protection hood insulates both backing pumps of the Thermo Scientific Lumos. It is installed under the instrument table and thus requires no additional space. The included oil tray on wheels makes it easy to move the pumps for service purposes.
Product details
SSH-ECL
This sound protection hood insulates both backing pumps of the Thermo Scientific ECLIPSE. It is installed under the instrument table and thus requires no additional space. The included oil tray on wheels makes it easy to move the pumps for service purposes.

Product details
Noise protection in the workplace is becoming increasingly important. Whereas laboratories used to be rather quiet workplaces, they now contain a large number of devices that can cause immense noise levels. The most common sources are vacuum pumps, ultrasonic cleaning devices and water coolers. In the worst case, the noise can have a detrimental effect on health. But even lower noise levels significantly impair the ability to concentrate. Especially in scientific work, however, a high level of concentration is crucial. Sonation offers appropriate sound insulation solutions for all common noise sources in the laboratory.
With the different models, almost any device can be insulated. If a device does not fit into one of the series products, special designs with customer-specific dimensions are also possible.

General information
APPS
The temperature and operating data monitoring module APPS (Active Pump Protection System) enables you to perfectly protect your sensitive and important equipment. All important operating data such as temperature, current consumption and the function of the fans are constantly monitored. In case of an error, an optical and acoustic warning is given.

Try before buy
We will gladly supply you with a demonstration unit to try out. If you are not satisfied with the sound protection hood, you can return it without any further obligations.
Insulation
The insulation material used is oil and water repellent as well as flame retardant according to FMVSS 302 and DIN 75 200.
Ventilation and cooling
Fans trimmed for noise minimization are used to dissipate the pump waste heat. The air ducting inside the box is designed to provide optimum cooling for the pump, yet prevent sound from entering through the air inlet and outlet openings.
Sound insulation
The sound reduction is up to 16dB(A) which corresponds to a reduction of about 80% of the perceived loudness.
Accessibility
To gain access to the pump, e.g. to read the oil level, the front can be removed and reattached with a flick of the wrist using quick-release fasteners.
Flexibility
The sound protection hoods are equipped with pump-specific cover plates. These cover plates allow the sound protection hood to be adapted to the respective pump type. If a different pump is to be insulated, only the cover plate needs to be replaced. Thanks to magnetic locking, the cover plates can be removed quickly without tools.
Flange kits
With some sound protection hoods, it makes sense to extend the pump connections for vacuum and/or exhaust connections. This allows attachments such as oil mist filters or similar to be connected outside the sound protection hood. For this purpose, we offer flange kits in various sizes and lengths.
