Vertical Laminar Flow Cleanbench

Vertical Laminar Flow Hood Configurations:

MODE 0 (Open style) -interior is open, no work surface. This is useful for the workface to be totally isolated from the vertical flow hood (vibration free, inspection). It is also excellent where one wants to space some equipment inside of a class 100 or class 10 environment.

MODE W0 (wash out) - a solid work surface is built into the cleanbench. The air flow surrounds any objects with clean air and blow out the front. The work surface can be plastic laminate, ESD laminate or stainless steel.

MODE WT (wash thru) - the work surface is perforated stainless steel. The air flows through the table surface in a true vertical laminar flow pattern.

MODE E (exhaust) -a unique combination of cleanbench and fume hood. Interior of bench is class 100 for product production. All air is exhausted for personnel protection. Numerous accessories or options are available to create a fume hood or wet process station.

MODE ER (exhaust/recirculation) similar to exhaust style but a dampering system permits some of the air to be recirculated back through the blower.

Vertical flow hoods can be used in conjunction with cleanrooms to create mini environments. They can also be used in lieu of or supplemental to a clean room.

Often times in larger cleanrooms, there are a few “critical clean” areas. It is sometimes more cost effective to build a lower class cleanroom and supplement it with cleanbenches, than it is to create a higher class cleanroom. This is especially true when over 60% of a typical cleanroom floor space is area where clean manufacturing or storage does not occur.
