Air Showers for Cleanrooms

Cleanrooms must comply with strict regulatory guidelines to avoid contamination. Even small particles of lint or debris can create problems in many cleanroom settings. Using high-velocity jets of air and HEPA or ULPA air filter systems, our cleanroom air showers remove loose contaminants from people and products before they enter the cleanroom, reducing or eliminating product defects for increased yields. Cleanroom air showers are a crucial tool for ensuring the sanitation of cleanrooms and other environments that require high levels of cleanliness.

How Do Cleanroom Air Showers Work?

Our standard cleanroom air showers are self-contained air recirculation systems specially designed for installation at clean room entry points. These phone booth-like entry systems use high-velocity air to decontaminate personnel, equipment, and supplies as they enter the cleanroom.

As workers enter the air shower, the entry door closes, and powerful jets of HEPA-filtered air blow over the worker from several adjustable, precisely-placed nozzles. These high-velocity air streams blast contaminants large and small from the worker’s cleanroom garments. Once the cycle is complete, the exit door of the self-cleaning air shower opens, and the worker moves on into the cleanroom itself.

The typical cycle completion for our cleanroom air showers is 20 seconds. Microprocessor controls allow fast and easy on-site adjustment of cycle times and other critical functions. 

Benefits of Decontamination Air Showers

Air showers are key to maintaining a controlled and contaminant-free cleanroom environment. At Clean Air Products, we manufacture top-of-the-line cleanroom air showers engineered to perform at the highest industrial standards. Air showers provide many benefits for industrial cleanrooms, including:
  • 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 Air Shower for Cleanrooms

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 Showers 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-gassing 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. Modular 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 Showers

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. Cleanroom air shower tunnels effectively remove particles as personnel and products travel between cleanrooms, significantly reducing the risk of contamination between work areas with different ISO ratings. 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.
