Personnel Air Shower for GMP Cleanrooms
The air shower is used in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and sterile manufacturing facilities for contamination control during personnel transfer between zones with different cleanliness requirements.
The system generates an intensive horizontal airflow with high-velocity air jets, providing efficient removal of dust and particles from cleanroom garments before entering controlled environments.
Air passes through a two-stage filtration system consisting of F7 and HEPA H14 filters, after which it is distributed through nozzles inside the working chamber. This configuration creates a controlled decontamination zone without disturbing the cleanroom air balance.
Air distribution is performed through 12 nozzles installed inside the chamber. This configuration ensures uniform personnel cleaning throughout the entire operator standing area.
📐 Equipment Design
The housing is manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel and is designed for operation under regular sanitary cleaning procedures.
👌 Design features include:
- reinforced supporting frame
- smooth internal surfaces
- resistance to disinfectants
- minimized hard-to-clean areas
- high mechanical strength
The system includes:
- Ebmpapst fan
- HEPA H14 filter
