New modular, prefabricated cleanroom system
Clean Air Products is introducing a modular, prefabricated cleanroom system which is easy-to-assemble and combine functionality with flexibility
Air showers are used with cleanrooms from Class 100,000 to Class 10.
Air Showers produce high-velocity air that is directed through adjustable nozzles toward cleanroom personnel.
This air removes surface particles and "flaps" the garment to dislodge more firmly attached particles.
This air is recirculated, continuously prefiltered and then HEPA filtered, and returned through the nozzles.
Air flow is approximately 1900 CFM through 32 adjustable nozzles, yielding a 7800 LFPM nozzle air velocity.
Air Showers are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to satisfy specific application requirements.
Painted steel construction minimizes particle generation and provides durable use.
Each unit is cleaned prior to assembly and sealed to ensure a "clean" air shower.
Each unit can be shipped as a kit, or completely assembled.
