CleanBooth™ Laminar Flow Station

CleanBoothTM Laminar Flow Station

 General Information

The laminar flow station is ideal for kitting operations, assembly, screen printers and other free-standing or benchtop processing equipment with the ability to effectively block the inrush of contaminants. The backbone of the system is  one or more filter/fan units (FFUs), each with industry-leading low-noise impeller blowers. Horizontal flow versions have the FFUs mounted on the side of the frame. The catered frame positions the FFU behind benchtop or large  process equipment for repair operations wherever you need a temporary horizontal laminar flow of filtered air. Following the instructions and recommended maintenance will help insure a long and efficient service life from the unit.

Critical Operation Conditions

• Because of their panel design, soft wall cleanrooms cannot control pressure, humidity or temperature levels inside the enclosure, making them unsuitable for many requirements, including many ISO 5 applications. The flexible  curtains can also be more difficult to clean than rigid hard wall panels.
• Please refer to our other cleanrooms if pressure, humidity and/or temperature control or frequent cleaning, sterilization is required.

Installation

Step 1:
a. Part number 1870-01A: Connect both corner frames pieces with middle frame and bottom frame rods.

b. Part numbers 1870-02A & 1870-05A: Connect indicated parts shown.

c. Part numbers 1870-03B & 1870-06B: Connect indicated parts shown.

d. Part numbers 1870-05B, 1870-07B, 1870-08B & 1870-09B: Connect indicated parts shown.

Step 3:
a. 1870-03B / 1870-03B-220 – Slide the right frame into the left frame.

b. 1870-04B / 1870-04B-220 – Attach the left and right frame to the back frame.

a. Attach the top frame to the base assembly.

Step 4 (Optional): Apply gasketing along the ceiling grid perimeter.

Step 5: Once the frame structure is assembled, the LED light panel wiring must be installed through the openings provided and secured with sheet metal screws.

Step 6: Place the fan filter units onto the ceiling grid.

Step 7: Raise the outer cover of the Grip-Track™ mount. Seat the curtain bead inside the track, and snap the cover down to secure the curtain.

3.1 System Operation

1. Plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded receptacle (115VAC, 50/60Hz or 230VAC, 50/60Hz).
2. FFUs and light are controlled by means of a single ON/OFF switch, located on the right-rear portion of the work area.
3. The FFUs incorporate a 3-position impeller blower, which is normally shipped in the “High” position. Under normal operating conditions, this setting should not be changed. The blower speed control is located on the upper-right  side of each unit.

3.2.1 Strip Curtain

• Static-dissipative vinyl helps prevent surface charges and particle attraction.
• Tests performed per ASTM D257 show surface resistivity of 1.8 x 107 ohms/sq.
• Heavy-gauge materials hang straight, without the need for sewn hems or sash weights.
• Static-Dissipative PVC includes built-in static inhibitors.
• Terra offers panels made from static-dissipative polyurethane that provides permanent, humidity- independent ESD protection from sensitive manufacturing conditions.
• This material contains no plasticizer, making it virtually non-gassing.

Maintenance

4.1 Filter Replacement
Air velocity should be monitored to ensure effective filtration using an appropriate air-speed monitor. Under typical conditions (8 hours of operation per day), filters should be replaced every year. As a HEPA filter clogs, you will notice increased blower noise and vibration, along with decreased air speed. The filter assembly is separate from the fan module, which stays in place in the ceiling grid.
Topside replaceable FFUs require the units to be removed from the hood for filter replacement.

1. Remove the unit from the ceiling grid.
2. Place the unit on a flat work surface and remove the 10 sheet metal screws that hold the HEPA/ULPA filter to the case.
3. Replace with a new HEPA/ULPA filter carefully handling edges only.
4. Secure filter to the case with the same screws used previously.
5. Place unit back onto the ceiling grid.

4.2 CleanBooth™ Frame Cleaning and Care
A thorough cleaning of coated components is required to conserve the façade decorative appearance and to reduce the corrosion strain. Powder coated surfaces proper maintenance and regular servicing are prerequisites for claims related to any guarantee and require regular cleaning at least once per year. When a coated component is soiled during transportation, storage or assembly, cleaning the component must take place immediately with clear cold or lukewarm water.

• Buildings must be cleaned more often when they are located in severe polluted environments such as; a region with increased salt contamination and/or chemical exhausts, a direct area of influence or within the vicinity of an  industrial or chemical enterprise, the immediate vicinity of a sea coast or within a defined chemical/radioactive precipitation zone.
• A neutral or weak alkaline detergent can be used against severe soiling.
• Use only clean water with slight additives of neutral washing agents (pH 5-8) with the aid of non-abrasive soft cloths, rags or industrial cotton. Avoid strong rubbing.
• Use white spirit free of aromatic compounds or isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to remove greasy, oily or sooty substances. Can also be applied for adhesives, silicone cartouche, adhesive tapes or other residues.
• Use unidirectional (not circular) motion to remove surface contaminants from the edges of all surfaces.
• Do not use solvents or similar diluents containing ester, ketones, alcohol, aromatics, ethylene glycol or halogenated hydrocarbon.
• Do not use scratching or abrasive agents.
• Do not use strong acids, alkaline detergents or nitrifiers.
• Do not use detergents of unknown composition.
• Do not use stream-jet devices.
• Maximum exposure period of detergents must not exceed one hour. When necessary, the entire cleaning process can be repeated at least after 24 hours.
• Rinse with clean cold water immediately after every cleaning process.
• Detergents must not be used at temperatures higher than 77 °F (25 °C).
• Façade components surface temperature must not exceed 77 °F (25 °C).
• Joint sealants and other aids such as glazing aids, lubricant agents, drilling and cutting lubricants which come into contact with coated surfaces, must be pH-neutral and free of paint-damaging substance. They  must be first subjected to a suitability test.

4.3 Vinyl Panel Maintenance and Care

• For critical cleanliness applications cleaning should be done at the beginning and end of each work shift.

• Follow your specific cleaning protocols as they vary greatly across industries and applications.

• Static-dissipative characteristics may degrade over time and require curtain replacement after two years (depending on temperature, humidity, UV exposure and other environment conditions).

• Static dissipative testing is recommended in static-sensitive applications.

• Anti-static vinyl’s have additive materials that continuously provide a naturally occurring hydro-scope surface which is essential for the continuation of the anti-static process. Over time and with exposure the surface will develop a viscous feel. To remove the viscous coating clean periodically.

• To clean standard PVC and Anti-Static Strips / Soft Wall curtains use mild dish soap and water solution with any biodegradable cleaner.
  – Wash the front and back of the strips and or curtains and rinse with clear water then wipe dry with a clean, lint-free soft cloth.

• To clean anti-static vinyl use 50/50 solution of isopropyl alcohol and Di water.
  – Wash the front and back of the strips or curtains using a soft non-abrasive lint-free cloth.

Note: Excessive cleaning using harsh or abrasive cleaning compounds such as ammonia, 100% isopropyl alcohol, liquids with chlorinates, antifungals, highly active sterile cleaning solutions and dry powder additives are not recommended and will increase the aging process.
