Laminar Airflow Units (CLAF/SLAF)
Laminar Airflow (LAF) unit is an equipment module using zoned laminar downflow to positively pressurize and purge contaminants, ensuring aseptic environments and process integrity.
Applications
Medical Industry (i.e., operating theatre)
Filling Line System ISO Class 5 coverage
Nanotechnology
High-End Electronics
Space Industry
Pharmaceutical Industry
Research and Development Laboratories
Esco Healthcare’s Laminar Airflows are customizable units that are:
- CLAF/SLAF units are utilized as open restricted access barriers over filling and capping machines
- CLAF is a stand-alone unit mounted via eye bolts and drop rods over specific applications
- SLAF is a stand-alone unit mounted over mobile stands for mobile aseptic zones
Antimicrobial powder-coated steel or easy-to-clean stainless steel construction
Selection from three (3) material of constructions:
- Electrogalvanized steel with antimicrobial Isocide™ powder coating
- Esco’s silver-ion impregnated Isocide™ powder coat eliminates 99.9% of surface bacteria within 24 hours of exposure
- Stainless Steel 304
- Stainless Steel 316L
Gel-sealed HEPA filter design
HEPA gel-sealed design is better than the conventional gasket sealed design
Ergonomic design
Operating at low noise level allowing efficient and comfortable working environment conditions
Microprocessor controller for audio/visual alarms
Sentinel™ Gold microprocessor control with audio/visual alarms for downflow velocity
PVC Strips Curtain
Safeguard clean zones by blocking contaminants and controlling airflow.
Energy efficient lighting
Energy efficient teardrop lightings positioned away from downflow
Emergency control
Provision of emergency stop button

- Ambient air is drawn through a prefilter before entering the perforated diffuser into the supply plenum to trap larger particles and increase the life of the main filter.
- The air is forced evenly through a special baffle system that channels the airflow through the gel-sealed HEPA filters, resulting in a laminar stream of clean air that is projected vertically over the internal work zone.
- The downflow supply of air from the ceiling laminar airflow unit flushes and dilutes all airborne contaminants; thereby, providing a particulate-free mobile work environment for enhanced aseptic operations/ processes with guaranteed low noise levels for operator comfort.
