Laminar Airflow
The LF Horizontal Laminar Flow Clean Bench is a completely self-contained, multipurpose, vibration-free clean bench that supplies a laminar flow pattern of HEPA filtered air. The clean bench provides a Class 100.
The unique design concept of the LF Horizontal Laminar Flow Clean Bench consists of separate plenum and table modules that virtually isolate all vibration transmission from the filter/blower console to the work surface.
Air enters the LF Horizontal Laminar Flow Clean Bench through a prefilter which removes most of the large particles. The air is then evenly distributed across the High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter by blower. The HEPA filter removes 99.99% of all particles 0.3 micros and larger in size and imparts a unidirectional or laminar flow pattern to the air. The air moves through the work area at a uniform velocity of 90 feet per minute (+/-20%), carrying away all airborne contamination generated by activities within the work area. All samples or equipment within the work area are continually bathed in the ultra-clean air.
Features:
- Fulfills requirements of current ISO Class 100.
- Washable polyurethane foam prefilter, easily removable for maintenance.
“HEPA” final filter, 99.99% efficient on particulates 0.3 microns and larger. Designed to use a permanent non-hardening flexible compound sealant in conjunction with a neoprene gasket. Filters are easily accessible through the front of the cabinet.
- Quiet operation: 65 +/- 3 dbA operator’s station with a 48 dbA ambient.
- Virtually isolates all vibration transmission from the filter/blower console to the work surface.
- Dynamically balanced direct drive blower mounted on vibration dampened, shock absorbent rubber mounts with additional resilient cushion-faced mating surfaces.
- Continuous duty motor(s) with sealed-for-life bearings and built-in thermal overload protection.
- Solid state speed control provides for output of the blower.
- Blower and filter plenum is constructed of all welded construction, painted with a non-particulating white polyurethane paint. All seams are sealed.
- All units are factory tested for leaks, sound level, vibration, airflow, light level, and mechanical function.
- The “LF” is a horizontal flow workstation, designed for product protection only.
