Simply A Better Downflow Booth Option
Sep 30 2013
Hosokawa Micron has introduced a new downflow booth design standard for companies seeking affordable downflow booth options that don’t break the bank but which still retain the high levels of containment and personnel protection they would expect from a more expensive booth.
“We haven’t cut corners in any way,” said Hosokawa Micron Product Manager, Carl Emsley. “We’ve just developed a smarter design that is already proving popular with those customers who want multiple booths and those using downflow containment facilities for the first time. This ‘simply better’ Downflow Booth design is capable of achieving OELs <1µg/m3,, subject to use of high containment screen and standard operating procedures.”
This new Downflow Booth is suitable for handling powders or liquids and with a full, front opening retractable roller door is suitable for storage as well as multiple dispensing activities.
Designed for ease of installation and flexibility of operation the new Downflow Booth is ‘plug and play’ requiring no complicated installation or qualified personnel to undertake the wiring work. By utilising EC plug fan design and technology air handling efficiencies have been achieved alongside easily adjustable fan speed control that allows for efficient air handling within the working environment.
With this new design of Downflow Booth noise levels of sub 60dba are realised which make it ideal for positioning within ‘quiet zones’ or within multi-processing areas where high noise levels might be unacceptable.
