Laminar Air Flow Manufacturer
Ferrotek Equipment is a renowned manufacturer of Laminar Air Flow, which specializes in providing high-quality solutions for cleanroom environments. A laminar air flow (LAF) cabinet, also known as a laminar Hood or tissue culture hood, is an enclosed cabinet designed for preventing contamination of biological samples, semiconductor wafers and sensitive materials. With a focus on precision engineering and innovation, Ferrotek Equipments delivers Laminar Air Flow units designed to maintain optimal air purity by ensuring a continuous, unidirectional flow of clean air.
At Ferrotek Equipments, we manufactured each Laminar Air Flow unit meticulously designed to meet stringent standards for performance and reliability. The system creates a sterile environment for sensitive processes using a HEPA filtration system. Ensuring the removal of airborne contaminants to create an ultra-clean environment. It provides unidirectional airflow at 0.4-0.6 m/s, minimizing turbulence and reducing particulate contamination. While it protects products from room contaminants, it does not offer personal protection for the user.
It mainly now depends on many conditions or factors when choosing any one of these two types:
1. Horizontal Laminar Air Flow:
Horizontal laminar airflow can be selected if any application requires less turbulence on the work surface. While both horizontal and vertical produce very little turbulence, the horizontal laminar airflow unit supplies relatively less airflow as it does not hit any hindrance until exiting the flume unit, whereas in the case of the one it hits the bottom of the unit.
Horizontal laminar air flow can also be selected if you want to use small utensils and equipment that will avoid causing airflow disturbance, because using larger equipment may cause greater turbulence in laminar airflow.
A horizontal laminar flow unit is mandatory when requiring the most control over contamination, as hands & gloves are positioned downstream over the sample in the horizontal flow, which creates greater protection over contamination.
Pros of having horizontal laminar airflow:
- It requires less floor space.
- It requires less work surface for turbulence
- It creates a larger work surface depth.
2. Vertical Laminar Air Flow:
Vertical laminar air flow can be selected if any application requires large equipment to be used on the work surface. This is because vertical flow does not produce as much turbulence while hitting large items.
A vertical laminar air flow system can be used if it requires soldering fumes or fine powders, as soldering vapors can be toxic due to metal oxides & acidic fumes from flux. It should only be used when there is a requirement of handling non-hazardous materials or irritant odors are being generated on the work surface.
Vertical airflow can be adopted if a larger, taller work surface is there, this is because filters are generally to be set on the top of a vertical laminar flow unit, as it has greater height available for a work surface.
Pros of having vertical laminar airflow:
- It requires less floor space.
- It has very little chance of cross-contamination of items placed on the work surface.
- It has a top filter that allows for easy access.
- It has a top filter that allows for easy access.
