Horizontal Laminar Air Flow
Horizontal Laminar Air Flow Manufacturer
We are one of the reputed Horizontal Laminar Air Flow manufacturer and supplier in UAE, Dubai. We offer wide range of premium quality clean room equipment for your lab applications. A horizontal laminar air flow is a type of laminar airflow system. These equipment have a unique design to direct air horizontally across the work surface. The system first pulls air from the back part of the hood through a HEPA or ULPA filter. Now the filtered air flows towards the surface and passes across the surface. then it exits through the enclosure. This type of airflow pattern helps to achieve the highest level of protection from contaminants. Since the air flows horizontally, it moves across the workspace and towards the operator. This, in turn, reduces the chance of contamination.
Moreover, the design prevents any turbulence that might occur if air were to heat a perpendicular surface. You should notice that the airflow is parallel to the work surface, which cleans the surrounding area with a constant velocity. The germs on your globes and hands are properly removed from the workspace due to the horizontal hood so the risk of contaminating the sample is very low. However, this is not the case with Vertical LAF because the germs of globes and hands get carried away underneath the samples.
Horizontal Laminar Air Flow Uses
Horizontal laminar airflow units are widely popular across various industries.
- Pharmaceutical industries use these systems to prepare sterile products, compounds, and medicines. These hoods create a completely clean environment for mixing active ingredients, preparing sterile injectables, and packaging pharmaceutical products. Indeed, they prevent the growth of microorganisms, which would otherwise compromise the safety and efficacy of drugs.
- Note that the systems are also useful in the biotech technology, technology, and medical research sectors.
- Laboratories that work with cultures, cell cultures, and genetic research actively use Horizontal Laminar Air Flow. This is because even the smallest contamination can badly affect research results or the growth of cells and tissues.
- The Electronics manufacturing department also uses this hood to prevent dust, particles, or bacteria buildup that could damage sensitive components. Since HLAF supplies a stable and low-turbulence atmosphere, it ensures that dust and debris do not interfere with the delicate electronic processes.
- Additionally, this system is used in the food and beverage industry for food processing, packaging, and quality control testing. This is because the food industry is all about hygiene and safety. Only horizontal hoods can provide such a contamination-free environment.
- Moreover, Horizontal Laminar Air Flow are top of cosmetic industries because they create a safe environment to produce and package lotions, creams, and perfumes.
- Not to forget, the aerospace sector also relies on these hoods for the assembly and inspection of critical components like aircraft parts.
- HLAF systems create a steroid environment for repairing medications and conducting test tests in labs, clean rooms, and pharmacies.
This is why Horizontal Laminar Air Flow have become a top-notch part of hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Horizontal Laminar Air Flow Specifications
The horizontal laminar airflow comes in different models and each of them is designed for a specific workspace. Each unit has one or more HEPA filters. They remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. The system also includes a pre-filter. This filter catches larger particles before they reach the main HEPA filter. The motor and blower setup varies by model. The smaller models have one motor and blower. Nonetheless, the larger models have one or two motors and blowers for better airflow.
The horizontal laminar air flow unit uses fluorescent tubes for lighting. All models include a UV germicidal tube. This tube helps neuter the workspace by killing germs and bacteria.
Moreover, the cabinet is made of powder-coated metal externally and stainless steel (SS-304) internally. The stainless steel ensures the system is durable and easy to clean. The work table is also made of stainless steel for the same reason. The power supply is 220 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz, suitable for most locations. Standard fittings on the system include an air/gas cock, an on/off switch for the main power, light, UV light, and blower, all designed for easy operation. For optional upgrades, you can add a motorized sliding door, an LCD display to monitor air velocity, time, and lamp status, a UV germicidal lamp, a UV hour meter, a magnahelic gauge for pressure monitoring, and extra power outlets.
