Are the Purex Machines Electrostatic protected?
Re: ESD-
Neither the Fume cube (and I guess by proxy any other machine, because it is the same answer) nor its arms carry an “ESD Rating” however the stainless-steel arms are metal which can be grounded and the machine itself can also be grounded. So, while they are not “ESD Rated” they can be considered “ESD Protective” meaning they offer at least one electrostatic discharge control feature designed to lower the risk of an ESD event.
On odd occasions, people ask about the hoses… Our standard hoses are not ESD Rated and they cannot, to my knowledge be grounded. There are 50mm Anti Static hoses available, from Purex, Part number 100026 but most people don’t seem to be terribly concerned once they know the arms and units can be grounded. In the odd occasions people are still sensitive to hose ratings, I have offered these Anti Stat hoses or recommended steel ducts at an additional fee.
