FlowFAST V are positive pressure ISO Class 3 vertical laminar flow cabinets which represent far more economical and valid alternatives to clean-rooms, as they are capable of providing uncontaminated, particle-free and sterile conditions for materials in the work-space. They guarantee and maintain excellent product protection factors by offering a positive pressure particle-free working area by virtue of the G3 prefilter with a minimum efficiency of 80%-90% ASHRAE and the H 14 HEPA/ULPA filter with an efficiency better than 99,995 % MPPS (H14 - EN:1822). BENEFITS Ergonomic Design: The angled sloping (7°) front hinged safety-glass provides optimum visibility of all objects placed in the interior workspace. The frontal opening is set to 200 mm. The whole front of the cabinet can also be opened upwards as it is hinged on the top – in order to allow easy access for complete and effective cleaning and decontamination. Real Laminar AirFlow: Frontal screen 7° sloped as well as back side wall to convey in unidirectional pattern the air flow. As a consequence, the front and back panels are parallel one with the other and there is the real presence of Laminar AirFlow in the whole working area. ECS Eco Controling System: The new ECS microprocessor employs the latest innovative methods of integrated management of all principal functions of ventilation and filtration - self-regulating all the main filtration and ventilation system components - compensating for declining pressure drops and restoring power balance. Combining the use of AC motor-blower and certified low pressure-drop filters, the new ECS controlling system optimize power consumption, reducing CO2 emissions into the environment. Anti Bacterial Coating: Exclusive Dupont ALESTA anti-bacterial “Ag+ cations-based solution”, capable to prevent microbial contamination of surfaces thereby inhibiting long term surface growth. High Level Lighting: The safety glass side-windows with the ideal positioning and sizing of the light-system provide the highest level of luminosity to the work area. Easy handling and maintenance: The cabinet can pass through standard 800 mm wide door openings. In fact, the overall depth of the cabinet is 760mm. All service operations are available from the front of the cabinet. Useful snap hinges keep in open position the frontal tempered glass increasing the height of the frontal opening. This solution allows the entrance of devices (such as microscopes) beneath laminar flow. Electrical sockets fitted as standard in each size model: one (for size 12) or two (for size 15 and 18). OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES The environment air is drawn from the top of the cabinet via a G3 pre-filter and then pulled downwards and filtered by virtue of H14 HEPA/ULPA filter into the working area in positive pressure creating vertical laminar air flow pattern. About half of the volume is exhausted outside into the environment and remaining volume is re-circulated by means of slots positioned at the bottom of the back panel.
