Specifications

Hosokawa Micron’s range of mobile Laminar Flow Trolleys and static Laminar Flow Benches are available in a range of sizes, configurations and construction materials, depending on customer requirements, and generally start at a width of one metre. Optional additional features include Hosokawa Gen4 intelligent software for remote monitoring, energy-efficient LED lighting and extractor fans.

Mobile Laminar Flow Trolley

Compact, economical and loaded with energy-efficient features, the plug and play capability and lockable wheels of the Mobile Laminar Flow Trolley mean the unit offers a fully transportable solution that can be up and running within minutes in a temporary location, if required.

Available in a range of sizes from one metre wide upwards, the backdraft extraction booth provides horizontal airflow, extracting particles, dust and swarf away from the operator’s breathing zone via a three-stage filtration system, including a replaceable panel filter and H13 HEPA filter. Clean air is then pumped back into the surrounding environment.

For safety, the extraction booth is constantly monitored by differential pressure gauges with an alarm feature to give visual and audible indications to signal when a filter requires changing or cleaning. A reliable air flow is maintained, even when the filter cells are dirty.

Optional Features

• Air handling system
• Plug socket for powering lab equipment
• ATEX compliance
• Hosokawa Gen4 remote monitoring capability

Static Laminar Flow Bench

The Static Laminar Flow Bench is the perfect option when space and location are less of an issue, as the unit can be mounted and fixed into a specific position for long-term use. It is suitable for the fettling of both large and small metal parts as the bench can be manufactured in a variety of sizes. This extraction bench offers many of the features of the Mobile Laminar Flow Trolley, but also offers the additional convenience of an integrated Type H vacuum cleaner for on-tool extraction, a sealed unit (bin) for safe and easy dust removal and energy-efficient integrated overhead lighting.

Employing the latest clean air technology, dust, particles and swarf are safely ducted away from the operator to a remotely located reverse jet or shaker filter, where the waste material is collected and stored in a sealed unit ready for easy and safe disposal. Meanwhile, the contaminated air is extracted through an H13 HEPA filter, before being discharged back into the atmosphere as clean air. Continual efficiency monitoring of airflow and filter condition are key features.

Optional Features

• Air handling system
• Plug socket for powering lab equipment
• Bench area cleaning vacuum
• Integrated electrical sockets
• ATEX compliance
• Hosokawa Gen4 remote monitoring capability

A comprehensive set of containment performance tests and validations are performed on every Laminar Flow Booth prior to the FAT at Hosokawa Micron Ltd, delivery and commissioning.

Downflow Booths and Laminar Flow Cabinets

When higher levels of operator protection and product containment are required during the manufacture of larger items such as fuselages, a Downflow Booth or Laminar Flow Cabinet would be a more suitable option than a Laminar Flow Booth and can also be fitted with equipment such as a fettling jig and Hosokawa Gen4 remote monitoring intelligent software.

Hosokawa Micron Ltd is an expert high containment equipment manufacturer with extensive experience of manufacturing Downflow Booths and Laminar Flow Cabinets for a variety of blue-chip companies, including from the pharmaceuticals, chemicals, nuclear and cosmetics sectors.
