Description
One-Person Straight-Through Cleanroom Air Showers SK-V1
Air shower – SK-V1
Air Shower offers an effective way to remove contamination from personnel before they get into cleanrooms. The unit is activated automatically after the door is closed. Pressurized clean air streams out from the adjustable nozzles at a velocity of 20-25 m/sec to remove particles from personnel in the air shower.

What are Cleanroom Air Showers?
Cleanroom air showers are enclosed spaces equipped with high-velocity air jets strategically placed to remove particulate contaminants from individuals or objects entering or exiting a controlled environment. They serve as an essential entryway or buffer zone, ensuring that individuals and materials are thoroughly decontaminated before entering the cleanroom area.
How Do Cleanroom Air Shower Work?
Cleanroom air showers work by creating a high-velocity, controlled air stream that dislodges and removes loose particles from the surfaces of individuals or objects. When entering the air shower, sensors or manual controls activate the high-velocity air jets, which direct a powerful laminar flow of purified air towards the user from various angles. This air stream effectively blows away loose contaminants, ensuring a clean surface before entering the controlled environment.
Benefits of Using Clean room Air Showers
Clean room air showers offer several advantages for contamination control and maintaining the cleanliness of controlled environments:
Enhanced Cleanliness: Air showers significantly reduce the introduction of particulate matter into cleanrooms by removing contaminants from individuals’ clothing, hair, and exposed surfaces. This helps preserve the integrity of sensitive processes, equipment, and products.
Improved Safety: By minimizing the presence of contaminants, cleanroom air showers contribute to a safer working environment. They help prevent the introduction of potentially hazardous particles or substances into cleanrooms, reducing the risk of product contamination or compromised experiments.
Efficient Decontamination: Cleanroom air shower provide a quick and efficient decontamination process, saving time and labor compared to manual cleaning methods. They offer a standardized decontamination procedure, ensuring consistency and reliability.
Reduced Cross-Contamination: The use of air showers helps minimize cross-contamination between different cleanrooms or areas within the same facility. By removing particles before entering controlled spaces, the risk of transferring contaminants from one area to another is significantly reduced.
Enhanced Workflow: Cleanroom air showers facilitate a smooth workflow by providing a designated area for decontamination. This allows individuals to transition seamlessly from non-controlled areas to cleanrooms without compromising cleanliness standards.
Proper Usage and Protocol
To maximize the effectiveness of cleanroom air showers, it is important to follow proper usage protocols:
Adherence to Cleanroom Attire: Individuals should wear appropriate cleanroom attire, including cleanroom garments, gloves, shoe covers, and any other required personal protective equipment (PPE), before entering the air shower.
Full Body Coverage: Ensure that all exposed areas of the body are adequately covered by cleanroom attire to minimize the risk of particle dispersion during the decontamination process.
Proper Entry and Exit: Individuals should enter the air shower through the designated entry point and stand within the shower area, ensuring proper positioning to receive the full force of the air jets. They should remain stationary and follow the predetermined duration for the air shower cycle.
No Personal Belongings: Individuals should avoid carrying any personal belongings, such as bags, tools, or electronic devices, into the air shower. These items can harbor contaminants and compromise the decontamination process.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to ensure the optimal performance of clean room air showers:
Scheduled Inspections: Conduct routine inspections of the air shower units to check for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction. Replace or repair any faulty components promptly to maintain the effectiveness of the air shower system.
Filter Replacement: Cleanroom air showers often incorporate high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to capture airborne particles. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for regular filter replacement to maintain proper filtration efficiency.
Cleaning Procedures: Clean and sanitize the interior surfaces of the air shower regularly using approved cleaning agents and techniques. Pay attention to areas prone to contamination, such as the walls, floors, and air nozzles.
