Hard Capsule® Hard Wall Cleanroom
The ideal solution is when clean air areas to be created on a small to mid-scale. Flexible and economical, they may be easily relocated when application requirements change. Esco offers a complete range of hard wall cleanrooms to meet various construction, dimensional and cleanliness class requirements.
The main difference between soft capsule and hard capsule is the side wall construction. Soft capsule is equipped with PVC curtain, while hard capsule features steel side walls with polycarbonate viewing window.
Applications:
Pharmaceuticals, Grade A filling suites
Medical devices, plastic injection molding
Electronics assembly
Contact lens packaging
Hospital pharmacy (USP 797)
Biotechnology
Nanotechnology
Life sciences
Aerospace
Quality control
Food industries
Standard 2' x 4' (0.6 x 1.2m) cleanroom ceiling grid enables flexible placement of fan filter units. Non-particulate shedding powder coated steel panels are provided to cover empty bays.
Provides ISO Class 5, 6, or 7 environments (depending on client specifications) via high quality HEPA filters utilizing an improved mini-pleated separation technique to maximize surface area, improve efficiency, and extend the filter life.
Centrally mounted control panel enables rapid start-up of fan filter units and lighting.
ESCO Airstream Fan Filter Units incorporate German made EBM-PAPST permanently lubricated, direct drive, centrifugal blowers with external rotor designs, and Swedish CAMFILL-Farr HEPA filters.
The energy efficient external rotor motor design reduces operating costs and has extremely low noise and vibration levels, improving the working conditions in the cleanroom.
High quality HEPA filters utilizing an improved mini-pleated separation technique to maximize surface area improves efficiency and extends the filter life. HEPA filters operate at a typical efficiency of >99.995% at 0.1 to 0.3 micron sizes.
An additional disposable pre-filter traps large particles in the inflow air prior to reaching the main filter, protecting against damage, and prolonging life.
A built-in solid-state variable speed controller is superior to conventional "step" controllers and offers infinite adjustment.
EG steel side wall with polycarbonate viewing window isolates the cleanroom from the ambient environment.
Stainless steel swivel casters feature non shedding polyurethane wheels (capacity: 300 lbs each)
Cleanroom grade construction utilizing fully welded, reinforced, mild steel tubular sections. Structure is finished with an abrasion-resistant oven-baked powder coat.
The entire structure is free-standing and does not require any suspended ceiling supports.
Built-in warm white, 5000k lighting provides excellent illumination of the cleanroom, and reduces operator fatigue.
The Hard Capsule Cleanroom is shipped unassembled with tools and parts for on-site assembly, turning an existing air-conditioned space into a cleanroom in a matter of hours.
Room air is taken in from the top of the cleanroom through a disposable pre-filter with 90% efficiency; this serves to trap larger particles and increase the life of the main filter.
Air is forced evenly across the HEPA filter(s); the result is a stream of clean laminar air within the work zone; this dilutes and flushes all airborne contaminants from the interior.
A nominal filter face velocity of 0.45 m/s or 90 fpm ensures that there is a sufficient number of air changes within the cleanroom in order to maintain cleanliness.
The purified air travels downward within the interior in a vertical, unidirectional stream, and leaves the cleanroom close to floor level at the perimeter.
The cleanroom is positively pressurized to prevent ingress of airborne contaminants from the external environment.
