About Laminar Air Flow Horizontal
Laminar Air Flow Horizontal
Laminar flow principle involves double filteration of air through coarse pre- filters (upto 5 microns) and Hepa filter (down to 0.3 microns) for filteration of biological and particulate contaminants. A constant uni-directional air flow is drawn from atmosphere and passed through pre and hepa filters on the work surface. Fabricated out of reinforced ply board which is clad in from out side laminated sheet and inner exposed areas are finished in epoxy paint. Table top covered with non-glaring laminated sheet or stainless steel sheet (optional). Side panels are fixed and are made out transparent acrylic sheet. The front door is folding type and made of thick acrylic sheet. (optional) Stand is built in type or detachable. Blower unit has AU or equilavent motor and is dynamically balanced with minimal sound & vibration level. Fluorescent lighting is also provided. A suitable UV tube is provided for sterilization. An acrylic block type manometer to measure static pressure in the chamber has been inustalled.Two way gas tap for gas line has also been provided

Advanced Air Cleanliness for Sensitive ApplicationsThis laminar air flow system guarantees ISO 5/Class 100 cleanliness, essential for contamination-sensitive tasks in laboratories and pharmaceutical environments. The high-performance HEPA and pre-filters efficiently remove even the tiniest airborne particles, ensuring a remarkably pure workspace. These features make it ideal for research, microelectronic assembling, and microbiological investigations.
Durability and Operational ConvenienceConstructed with a robust stainless steel work surface and protected by toughened glass or acrylic panels, the unit is built for frequent use while maintaining easy cleaning and chemical resistance. Heavy-duty lockable caster wheels provide flexibility and mobility without compromising on stability. The user-friendly sliding sash door ensures safe, easy access to your workspace.
Quiet and Energy-Efficient PerformanceWith a dynamically balanced, vibration-free blower, the LAF unit operates at less than 60 dB, minimizing disturbance in critical work environments. Energy-efficient design paired with reliable power components (220-230V AC, 50 Hz) keeps operational costs low while ensuring consistent, controlled airflow for optimal protection.
FAQ's of Laminar Air Flow Horizontal:
Q: How does the Horizontal Laminar Air Flow unit maintain Class 100 (ISO 5) air cleanliness?
A: The LAF unit employs a primary HEPA filter that removes 99.99% of particles down to 0.3 microns and a pre-filter for larger contaminants. The combination produces unidirectional airflow at 0.450.05 m/s, effectively sweeping away particulates and maintaining superior air purity.
Q: What are the benefits of using a laminar air flow system in pharmaceutical or research environments?
A: These systems greatly reduce contamination risks, protect sensitive samples and processes, and ensure compliance with stringent cleanroom standards-critical for pharmaceuticals, microbiology labs, and advanced research applications.
Q: When should the HEPA and pre-filters be replaced or serviced?
A: Filter replacement depends on actual usage and contamination load. Typically, it is advised to check pre-filters every few weeks and HEPA filters annually, or sooner if airflow reduces or alarms indicate servicing is needed.
Q: Where can this Horizontal Laminar Air Flow unit be installed?
A: It is suitable for a wide variety of clean environments, including research labs, hospitals, pharmaceutical production areas, and quality control rooms. Its lockable caster wheels allow mobility and flexible placement within any facility.
Q: What processes or tasks are best suited for this LAF unit?
A: The LAF is ideal for aseptic transfers, sample preparations, media pouring, sterile compounding, electronics assembly, and contamination-sensitive diagnostic procedures.
Q: How does the acrylic/polycarbonate sash door enhance safety and usability?
A: The transparent sliding sash door provides an effective barrier against airborne contaminants, while allowing clear visibility and easy access to the workspace, supporting both operator safety and workflow efficiency.
Q: What optional features or customizations are available for this model?
A: This model can be equipped with either fluorescent or LED lighting, UV germicidal lamp (optional), digital or analog display, single or double outlets, and customized dimensions (2 to 4 feet). You can also select from different panel materials to best match your lab's requirements.
