What Is an Air Shower and How Does It Work

Air Shower is one of the most essential cleanroom contamination control systems that is used prior to entering a cleanroom. It cleans dust, lint, dead skin flakes and other airborne particulates from people, carts and machinery using high-speed air stream that is filtered through HEPA filters. Bionics Scientific, one of the leading Air Shower Clean Room manufacturers in India, specializes in designing and manufacturing of top-grade air showers for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, food processing, research labs, hospitals and semiconductor industry.

When you are looking for the most efficient Air Shower, cost-effective air shower price in India or a custom air shower entry system, Bionics Scientific provides the best-engineered products which comply with international cleanroom standards. Each product is manufactured using top-quality materials and filtration systems.

Why an Air Shower is Essential for Cleanrooms

Creating a contamination-free area starts right from the point of entry into the cleanroom. No matter how protected the person may be due to his/her protective clothing, he/she will still have contaminants in microscopically small amounts which might interfere with manufacturing processes or even laboratory work.

An Air Shower is an area that helps in transitioning from uncontrollable conditions to controlled conditions. With the use of strategically located nozzles, high-velocity HEPA filtered air will be released within the chamber to eliminate contaminants on the clothing of the individual and other exposed areas. The air will pass through pre-filters and HEPA filters to be reused.

Applications of Air Shower Systems

Our company, Bionics Scientific, provides top quality Air Shower systems that can be very effective when it comes to industries that require proper contamination control. Our air showers can be applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech labs, hospital clean rooms, animal testing labs, electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, optical industry, food processing facilities, chemistry labs, and medical devices manufacturing.

Depending on what you need – personnel, cart, or conveyor air shower systems – all solutions will be customized for your specific clean room setup.

Air Shower Design Configurations

Each cleanroom will have its own decontamination specifications. Bionics Scientific is able to supply a broad array of Air Shower models which include Entry-Exit Air Showers, L-Type Entry-Exit models, One Way Entry Models, Two Way Exit Models,

Air Shower Tunnels, Conveyor Air Showers, Cart Air Showers, and Equipment Air Showers. In facilities where there is a lot of human traffic we can supply our air tunnel showers which are

quick, efficient, and effective at decontaminating while also handling several people in one cycle.

Advanced Features of Bionics Scientific Air Shower

The Bionics Scientific Air Shower systems are built using top-notch materials in order to provide efficient and uniform contamination control in a cleanroom environment. Some of the notable features of these air showers are: 99.99% efficient HEPA filters, washable pre-filters, variable time cycle settings ranging from 0 to 120 seconds, and high velocity airflow rate of greater than 20 m/s for particulate removal.

Available in stainless steel, powder coated mild steel, or aluminum material, the air showers are capable of being supplied with automatic/manual controls, electromagnetic interlocking door, emergency stop facility, non-slip floors, energy saving LED or fluorescent lighting, and stainless steel air nozzles with fixed or variable settings. Other optional configurations could be PLC control with touch screen, ULPA filters, and full DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ documentations.

Air Shower Blower and Filtration Technology

The performance of the air shower blower is critical in determining its effectiveness. Bionics Scientific uses highly efficient centrifugal blowers which are able to generate a strong, even flow of air via engineered nozzles.

This, in tandem with HEPA filters that operate at 99.99% efficiency, results in the removal of minute particles before re-circulating the air. In turn, it makes the Air Shower clean room system attain Class 100 standard of air purity.

Air Shower Price in India

The cost of Air Shower depends on the configuration of the system and the needs of your cleanroom.

Aspects like the number of people, size of chamber, material used to make it, number of air showers, blower capacity, door configuration, PLC system, type of filtration whether HEPA or ULPA, tunnel length, and many more all affect the final cost. Since each cleanroom project is unique in its own right, Bionics Scientific offers custom-made Air Showers quotations for you.

Air Shower Installation and Quality Assurance

Every Air Shower is thoroughly inspected at our factory prior to shipment.

The testing procedure entails checking the air flow, vibrations, sound levels, interlocks of doors, filters, electrical safety, and dimensional measurements. Additionally, our engineers can provide assistance during the installation of your unit as well as the documentation like DQ, IQ, OQ, and PQ if required.

The customer will thus receive a fully tested and ready-to-use system.

Case Study: Pharmaceutical Cleanroom Upgrade

A premier pharmaceutical manufacturing firm in Gujarat was struggling with issues of contamination at their cleanroom entry point. As a result, the firm had high rates of rejection of the products due to the problem of sterile manufacturing.

After conducting a thorough evaluation of the plant, Bionics Scientific supplied an Air Shower system that featured dual side high velocity nozzles, 99.99 percent HEPA filtration, automatic electromagnetic door interlock, and controls through PLC. In a period of just three months after installation of the system, the plant recorded low levels of contamination, better compliance of the cleanroom, faster movement of staff, lower rejection of products, and low maintenance costs.

What is the purpose of an Air Shower?

An Air Shower uses high-velocity HEPA-filtered air to remove dust, lint, and airborne contaminants from personnel, carts, or equipment prior to entering a clean room.

What is the air shower in hospitals?

Air showers help prevent contamination in advance of entering sterile operation rooms, pharmacy areas, isolation rooms, and clean laboratories in hospitals.

What is the air effect in showers?

The air effect is defined as the high-velocity air flow that occurs via nozzles that loosen particles on the clothes and surfaces.

What is the difference between an airlock and an air shower?

An airlock maintains pressure differential between two adjacent rooms, whereas an Air Shower ensures contamination removal via high-pressure filtered air before entering the room.

What are the major components of an air shower?

The main components of an air shower are HEPA filters, pre-filters, blower motor, stainless steel nozzles, EM locks on door, control panel, light fixtures, emergency shut-off, and non-slip floor.

What is ISO 5 air classification?

ISO Cleanroom Classification ISO 5 is one that can have a maximum particle count of 3,520 particles/m3 (particles 0.5 microns and above).

What is a public air shower?

Public air showers are decontamination chambers that are installed in industries where many individuals must pass through to reach controlled environments.

What is an air shower fan?

Air shower fan or air blower creates the high-speed airflow necessary for removal of particles from personnel and equipment.
