Modular Air Showers for Cleanrooms

Benefits of Decontamination Air Showers

Air showers are key to maintaining a controlled and contaminant-free cleanroom environment. Properly selected air showers, along with worker training, documented procedures, and a well-maintained system, help improve production yields while reducing defects and costs. Key benefits air showers provide for industrial cleanrooms include:

• Air showers prevent contamination that could affect the quality of products and equipment
• Modular cleanroom air showers help reduce the need for cleanroom maintenance due to lower contamination load
• Our air showers are energy-efficient
• Air showers limit particle buildup, which improves the life of HEPA and ULPA filters
• Air showers provide cost-effective contamination control technology

Choosing the Best Cleanroom Air Shower for Your Application

Several factors help determine which cleanroom air showers are best for each application. If you’re uncertain which cleanroom air showers are best for your requirements, contact us, and our team will gladly assist you. You can also view our air shower FAQs to learn more. When determining which cleanroom air shower would be best for your application, consider the following factors:

• The air shower should be modular to allow for easy configuration/reconfiguration, shipment, and assembly
• Outer shell of the air shower should be constructed of stainless or painted steel
• The blower system must provide high volumes of air at high velocity to effectively decontaminate personnel, equipment, etc.
• Clean room air showers should have a high number of air nozzles; nozzles should be adjustable
• The unit should include a magnetic door interlock system with appropriate controls

Custom Air Shower Rooms in Countless Configurations

At Clean Air Products, we can build customized cleanroom air showers to match nearly any specification. All custom air showers from Clean Air Products are constructed from durable, cold-rolled steel shells sealed with low outgassing epoxy or urethane sealant.

Modular Cleanroom Air Showers

Our modular cleanroom air showers are made from durable, heavy-gauge painted steel construction and feature high-velocity air filter systems for fast, efficient cleaning. Features for cleanroom air showers include:

• Magnetic interlocks secure the entry and exit points
• LED lighting provides increased visibility in low-light environments
• Standard-size HEPA filters and prefilters are installed for zero-leak, negative pressure reliability seals and
• silicone-free urethane sealant to ensure a tight seal throughout the cleanroom air shower
• Microprocessor-controlled cycle times and touchscreen controls that make our air showers easy to use
• When maintenance is required, the inspection panels provide fast and easy service access

Low Profile Air Shower Rooms

Low-profile cleanroom air showers are enclosed chambers strategically placed at a cleanroom's entry and exit points to remove loose contaminants from people and products before they enter the cleanroom. The low-profile design provides sleek entrance and exit points shorter than standard air showers, ideal for rooms with low ceilings. Like standard air showers, low-profile air showers utilize high-velocity jets of air and HEPA or ULPA air filter systems to reduce or eliminate particles and contaminants before entering or exiting a cleanroom environment.

Cleanroom Air Shower Tunnels

Cleanroom air showers can be combined to create self-cleaning air shower tunnels for environments where two or more cleanrooms are utilized. The number of people entering your cleanroom at a time significantly affects the size of the air shower. Designs range from single-batch systems, which accommodate one person at a time, to tunnel systems that allow larger groups to pass through quickly. Tunnel systems are becoming more common due to the cycle time required for shift changes.

Up to five cleanroom air showers can be combined based on your requirements. Learn more and view the specifications by clicking on the product links below.

• 2-Unit Tunnel Cleanroom Air Showers
• 3-Unit Tunnel Cleanroom Air Showers
• 4-Unit Tunnel Cleanroom Air Showers
• 5-Unit Tunnel Cleanroom Air Showers

How Do Cleanroom Air Showers Work?

Air showers operate similarly to automated car wash pressure washer systems. In an air shower, a worker passes through the entry door, and a sensor activates interlock magnets, which lock the air shower and cleanroom doors. Numerous adjustable nozzles blow high-velocity streams of Class 100 filtered air onto workers. The high-velocity air creates a flapping effect on clothing which produces a scrubbing action, removing particulates from cleanroom garments.

To ensure all particulates are removed, workers raise their arms and rotate in place. Indicator lights signal the end of the cleaning cycle, and the cleanroom door opens. It takes four to eight seconds of cleaning time and another two to four seconds for the air shower to purge contaminated air prior to the worker exiting. Microprocessors control the cleaning and wait times.
