Containment Booth

---

Containment booths provide operator, process and / or product protection by utilizing HEPA filtered unidirectional laminar downflow to maintain an ISO 5 environment at rest within the work zone and capture particulates during open handling processes.

The standard DFBG2 has over 420 possible dimensional models and approximately 3.5 million possible system configurations ensuring that Esco can provide a standard solution to fit your specific process and facility requirements. Should a standard option not fit your requirements Esco can offer a customized solution.

The DFBG2 is designed such that through the different configurations it can be applied; but not limited to, the following markets:

  - Pharmaceutical  - Biological  - Cosmetic  - Animal  - Nutraceutical  - Robotic  - Food   - Electronic

Pharmacon Downflow Booth

Standard Features  cGMP modular design with minimized joints and seams

6 different filter configurations available utilizing combinations of G4, F8, Carbon, H13, H14 and PLF screens

Gel Seal HEPA Filters

Integrated Filter challenge ports

Safe Change filter configurations are available for potent products, selectable to change either internally or externally to the booth

Open loop or Closed Loop fan control configurations

Recirculating or Single Pass airflow configurations allowing use for powder or solvent applications

Optional cooling coil systems to provide operator comfort

PVC strip curtains available

Energy efficient EC fan units available to minimize operating costs

Optional hazardous area configurations to meet ATEX and NEC 505 requirements.

Multiple control system options (HMI, Push Button or Sentinel Gold Microprocessor interfaces)

Modular design allows future system adjustment without full booth replacement

Basic Principles  Laminar airflow velocity of 0.45m/s ± 20% (89 ft/min)    measured 150mm (6") from terminal HEPA filter or    diffuser face

Containment Performance Target (CPT's) ≤ 100 µg/m3 over an 8 hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) when used with proper operator techniques.  

CPT's of  ≤ 10 µg/m3 over an 8 hour TWA are achievable with the use of a high containment screen 

ISO 5 work space environment at rest conditions

Enhanced cGMP practices

Cross contamination control through negative and positive pressure environment options
