Description
The Vertical Flow Air Shower helps reduce contamination when personnel enter cleanrooms and controlled areas.
The system directs high-velocity HEPA-filtered air vertically over clothing and exposed surfaces. As a result, the airflow helps remove loose dust, lint, and particles before personnel enter a cleaner area.
Automatic infrared sensors support convenient operation. In addition, interlocking doors help manage entry and exit during the air shower cycle.
Facilities can also choose different sizes, finishes, and configurations based on their cleanroom requirements.
For a more complete contamination-control system, facilities can integrate the air shower with our Cleanroom Construction Solutions and Fan Filter Unit Systems.

How Does a Vertical Flow Air Shower Work?
First, personnel enter the air shower chamber before accessing the cleanroom.
Next, the system directs HEPA-filtered air vertically across clothing and exposed surfaces. The airflow helps remove loose particles before cleanroom entry.
Meanwhile, the door interlock helps control movement through the chamber. Therefore, the air shower provides a controlled transition between general and cleaner areas.
Why Use a Vertical Flow Air Shower?
People can carry dust, fibers, and other particles into controlled environments. Therefore, facilities need effective entry procedures to reduce contamination risks.
A vertical flow air shower adds another contamination-control step before personnel enter the cleanroom. Moreover, its vertical airflow pattern directs filtered air across the user from above.
When facilities combine the air shower with proper cleanroom design, filtration, operating procedures, and maintenance, the system can support an effective contamination-control program.
Facilities can also reference ISO 14644-1 when establishing cleanroom air cleanliness classifications.
