Downflow Containment
Booths & Glassware Booths


Downflow Containment Booths are used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry to safeguard operators against harmful dusts generated during many manual powder handling operations. Clean air from the ceiling plenum is distributed evenly across the whole of the work area pushing any respirable dust downwards and away from the operators breathing zone.

As the dust moves down to a low level, the high velocity exhaust grilles direct the dust into the filters. The on-board filtration system comprising of a minimum of fine dust filters and Hepa filters, removes the dust before returning the clean air into the ceiling plenum. A small amount of air is exhausted after the filters thereby creating a slight negative environment.
Inward air movement into the
Booth at low level ensures
containment.
Glassware Booths have been developed to protect personnel from hazardous dusts, vapours and aerosols during reactions, distillation and general experimental work, normally undertaken in Kilo Labs.

Guaranteed operator exposure levels of <100µg/m³ TWA, can be improved with the use of flexible or rigid screens to <10µg/m³ TWA.

Available in epoxy coated zintec steel, 304/316L stainless steel or a combination of both.

Various heights, widths and safe working depths are available to suit all applications.
Custom filtration designs come with a minimum of fine dust and then HEPA filters in either the technical stack or the ceiling plenum.

For those applications where a more standard Booth is not suitable, then a comprehensive list of options is available to customize the Booth to your requirements.
