Our material handling air showers (one side flow) are self-contained units, installed at the entrance of a clean room and other controlled environment chambers for minimizing the entry of dust particles and other particulate matters into the working area. The material handling air shower is designed to provide and maintain clean room conditions for research applications and particle sensitive manufacturing processes. Our dust containment air shower find widespread use in pharmaceutical production industry, micro-electronic fabrication industry, semiconductor manufacturing industry and various research industries, owing to their ability to provide complete decontamination solutions for processes and products requiring highly sterile working conditions.
Working Principle
Our 21 CFR compliant air showers are designed to eliminate the contaminating particles from the skin surfaces and clothes of the personnel before they can enter the clean room. They feature top mounted pre-filters and HEPA filters for filtration of circulated air and efficient blowers and air nozzles for ejection of the filtered air. The air entering the air shower cubicle is forced by the blowers through the filter assembly. The efficient filter assembly entraps the contaminating particles 0.1-0.3 microns in size or larger. The filtered air is then ejected through the nozzles at appropriate face velocities into the chamber. These turbulent air streams are directed in a downward flow to produce enough shearing, wash-down effect for loosening and elimination of dust particles. The dispersed dust particles and other particulate matters migrate with the air stream and re-enter the pre-filter and blower assembly and are continuously filtered and recirculated, for maintaining highly sterile working environments.
- Ergonomic design for versatile usage
- GMP/GLP compliant systems
- Available with calibration protocol documentation and complete self-diagnostic systems.
- Programmable operation
- Designed to ensure minimum vibration and noise level < 60 db
Lighting arrangement conforms to the guidelines for US federal standards
- Programmable operating modes
- Microprocessor based controls for various set parameters
- Floor matting operated switch for sequential operation of the air shower
- Fully washable pre-filters remove around 85% of particulate matters, therefore reducing the load on HEPA filters and increasing their efficiency and life span
- Highly efficient HEPA filters with around 99.99% filtration efficiency for removing particles as small as 0.3 microns and larger.
- Multidirectional air flow
- Permanently lubricated direct drive centrifugal motors and efficient blowers for maintaining appropriate face velocities of the air (6000 ft/min + 20 feet), while producing minimum vibrations and noise (less than 60 db)
- Indicator lights on both sides of the air shower for regulation of traffic within the cubicle
- Emergency buttons on both sides of the air shower to prevent accidental lock-outs
- Interlocked and magnetically operated doors to prevent them from opening at the same time
