In hospital clean areas, you might often see gleaming stainless steel Pass Box. While seemingly ordinary, they're actually "invisible guardians" of infection control.
1. Rust-Free = Safer
Ordinary Pass Box can rust and peel over time, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is corrosion-resistant and easy to disinfect. For example, while hydrogen peroxide fumigation is commonly used in operating rooms, ordinary materials might corrode, but stainless steel Pass Box can withstand it.
2. Sealing Comparable to a Safe
Pass Box used in hospitals must be "leak-proof." For example, when chemotherapy drugs are delivered in a pharmacy, a loose seal could allow toxic particles to escape. High-quality stainless steel Pass Box feature an airtight design, preventing even air from escaping.
3. Unexpected Function: Labor Savings
Hospitals have calculated that traditional Pass Box require frequent manual disinfection, while stainless steel Pass Box with self-cleaning features (such as UV light and high-efficiency filtration) save over 200 man-hours annually.
Conclusion:
Do you think hospitals are just obsessed with appearance? In fact, every design is a race against microorganisms.
In modern industrial production, cleanliness is a critical factor in many industries, such as food processing, electronics manufacturing, and biomedicine. To ensure a clean and sterile production environment, air showers have emerged as an efficient and essential device. They serve not only as a physical barrier but also as an invisible guardian, ensuring product quality and safety.
Necessity and Importance
Air showers are the essential gateway between non-clean areas and clean areas. Their importance lies in their ability to effectively reduce dust, particles, and bacteria introduced by people and goods entering and exiting the cleanroom, thereby maintaining high cleanliness levels within the cleanroom. This equipment uses high-pressure clean airflow to fully drench the human body, rapidly removing attached contaminants and providing a solid defense for the cleanroom.
Multiple Functions and Intelligent Applications
Air showers are more than just simple showering equipment; they incorporate a variety of intelligent features. For example, smart air showers provide voice prompts to guide users through the showering process, improving efficiency while ensuring a thorough cleansing experience. Furthermore, the front and rear doors of the air shower room feature electronic interlocking, preventing the ingress of unpurified air and further enhancing its function as an "airlock."
In terms of automated control, modern air showers generally utilize PLC intelligent control. LED displays provide real-time information on the air shower's operating status, the interlocking status of the two doors, and the progress of the shower cycle, providing operators with clear and intuitive feedback. Furthermore, the introduction of infrared sensing automatic showering technology makes the air shower process more intelligent and user-friendly, reducing manual operation while improving showering accuracy and efficiency.
Wide Application and Scenario Adaptability
Due to its wide applicability and flexibility, it has been widely used across various industries. In the food industry, it helps reduce cross-contamination within production workshops and ensure product hygiene quality. In electronics manufacturing, it effectively prevents dust from affecting precision equipment, improving product yield and reliability. In the biopharmaceutical industry, it is a critical device for maintaining a sterile environment and preventing microbial contamination. Furthermore, various types and specifications have been developed to meet the needs of different industries and scenarios, such as single-person single-blow air showers, multi-person double-blow air showers, and corner air showers, to meet the needs of different occasions. Furthermore, a variety of materials are available, including stainless steel, steel plates, and color-coated steel plates, to meet the corrosion resistance and aesthetic requirements of different environments.
In air conditioning systems for high-purity environments such as cleanrooms, fan-filter units (FFU) are one of the core devices for achieving air cleanliness control. Through their efficient air filtration and stable airflow distribution, FFU ensure the purity and uniform distribution of indoor air. They work collaboratively with dry coil units (DC) and other components to maintain cleanroom environmental conditions.
High-Efficiency Air Filtration and Airflow Distribution
FFU, with their built-in HEPA filters, remove airborne particles, including dust, bacteria, and viruses, ensuring that the air delivered to the cleanroom meets high cleanliness standards.
FFU also utilize their built-in fans to create stable vertical laminar or turbulent airflow, preventing localized contamination. This stable airflow is crucial for maintaining cleanroom cleanliness, especially in the semiconductor manufacturing and biopharmaceutical industries, where cleanliness requirements are extremely high.
Cooperation and Application Scenarios
In dry coil systems, FFU work collaboratively with dry coil units (DC) and other components, such as the main air handling units (MAU). The MAU is responsible for introducing and processing outdoor fresh air, removing particulate matter through primary and secondary filtration, and conditioning the fresh air to the specified temperature and humidity.
The fresh air treated by the MAU is mixed with a portion of the return air, filtered by the FFU, and then delivered to the cleanroom. The indoor air is cooled or heated by the dry coil before being recirculated to the return air duct and mixed with the fresh air, forming a closed-loop air circulation system.
The FFU operates continuously to maintain air circulation frequency and ensure indoor air cleanliness. The dry coil adjusts the chilled water flow or temperature based on temperature sensors, handling only the sensible heat load and avoiding interference with temperature and humidity control. This clear division of labor improves overall system performance and reliability.
Among the many FFU products available, the KLC FFU is an excellent choice on the market for its superior performance and flexible design. Utilizing KLC's proprietary high-efficiency filters, the KLC FFU achieves highly efficient air filtration, ensuring high indoor air cleanliness.
Its compact design makes it easy to install and maintain, while also offering low noise levels and high energy efficiency, meeting the requirements of various cleanliness levels. The KLC FFU also offers flexible installation options and intelligent control options, enabling single-unit manual control or group monitoring of multiple units, adapting to cleanroom applications ranging from small to large-scale.
The KLC FFU has demonstrated outstanding performance in practical applications, particularly in fields such as semiconductor manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals, and precision electronic assembly, providing users with efficient and reliable air purification solutions. Its efficient filtration performance and stable airflow distribution effectively prevent condensation from contaminating wafers, ensuring a sterile environment in pharmaceutical production while also safeguarding the accuracy and stability of the equipment.
The KLC FFU's low noise operation and energy-efficient design also excel in cleanrooms with stringent environmental requirements, making it an ideal air filtration option.
As the core air filtration device in dry coil systems, the FFU provides a reliable solution for high-purity environments such as cleanrooms through its efficient filtration capacity and stable airflow distribution. Its synergistic operation with the dry coil and other components further optimizes system performance and reliability.
In fields such as semiconductor manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals, and precision electronic assembly, the FFU has become a critical piece of equipment for maintaining high-purity environments, ensuring efficient and stable production processes.
Air filters are a type of air filter characterized by high filtration precision, high resistance, and high cost. They are essential consumables for industrial cleanrooms. Recent advances in air filtration technology, including the research and development of filter media, filtration mechanisms, and the development and application of filtration equipment, have significantly boosted the development of air filters!
Industrial Cleanrooms
Industrial cleanrooms require continuous and effective removal of even smaller particles. HEPA filters were once used for end-of-line filtration, while ULPA filters are now the highest-precision ultrafiltration filters. They generally utilize fine glass fiber filter media, but membranes and electrostatically enhanced media have also made inroads into this field, seeing some experimental application and achieving significant progress. The most stringent requirements for exhaust gases emitted by production plants are toxic gases. Filters used in industrial cleanrooms will continue to evolve in line with modern technology, aiming for higher precision, lower filtration resistance, and more effective performance.
Pharmaceutical Factory Sterile Workshops
The production environment in pharmaceutical factory sterile workshops must strictly control microbial and particulate contamination. Industrial air filters employ a three-stage filtration system: a primary filter (G4) intercepts large dust and hair particles, a medium-efficiency filter (F8) further filters particles larger than 1 micron, and a high-efficiency filter (H13) effectively intercepts particles 0.3 microns. In addition, some workshops are equipped with chemical filters at the end, filled with activated carbon or chemical adsorbents, to remove residual harmful gases and odors from the air and prevent pharmaceutical contamination. To ensure sterility, the filter frames are often made of antimicrobial materials. After installation, they must undergo integrity testing (such as PAO testing) to ensure the sealing and effectiveness of the entire filtration system.
Food Processing Workshops
Food processing workshops must prevent dust and microbial contamination while also controlling odors from the production process (such as cooking fumes in bakery rooms and odors in fermentation rooms). Industrial air filters employ food-grade filter media, such as antimicrobial-treated polyester fiber filters, to prevent secondary contamination of food. In addition, activated carbon filters are widely used in odor treatment, quickly removing odor molecules through the physical adsorption of high iodine value activated carbon.
In the cleanroom, the heart of a food factory, every breath of air and every surface plays a crucial role in the safety and quality of the final product. How can materials, tools, and semi-finished products flow safely, efficiently, and contamination-free between clean and non-clean areas? This requires a quietly unsung yet crucial "invisible guardian"—the professional clean passbox!
01 Isolating Contamination, Protecting Purity
Double-Door Interlock: Ensures both doors cannot be opened simultaneously, effectively blocking external contaminants such as dust and microorganisms from entering the cleanroom with the airflow.
High-Efficiency Filtration: A built-in High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter continuously purifies the air during the transfer process, maintaining a positive pressure environment and preventing cross-contamination.
Smooth and Easy-Clean: Made of food-grade materials such as 304/316L stainless steel, the surface is smooth, with no dead spots or risk of debris, making it easy to thoroughly clean and disinfect.
02 Improve Efficiency and Optimize Processes
Convenient Operation: The ergonomic design and smooth opening and closing significantly shorten material transfer time, reduce the frequency of personnel entering and exiting the cleanroom, and minimize contamination risks. Standardized Management: Clear transfer processes (such as UV disinfection and wiping procedures) ensure that each transfer complies with standard operating procedures (SOPs).
03 Compliance Assurance for Audit Preparedness
Regulatory Compliance: Strict adherence to cleanroom logistics channel requirements of food industry standards such as GMP, HACCP, and ISO 22000 is essential for preparing for various certification audits.
Traceability: Comprehensive transfer records (optional electronic record functionality) provide a basis for quality traceability.
The fresh air system is a device that sends fresh outdoor air into the room after filtering through an air supply device. Its core function is to ensure the oxygen content and cleanliness of the indoor air. The high efficiency of the fresh air system is inseparable from its advanced purification technology. The following are six common fresh air system purification technologies:
HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) is a widely recognized high-efficiency filter material. It is composed of multiple layers of continuously folded sub-glass fiber membranes and is usually used in air purifiers. The surface area of the HEPA filter is large, and when unfolded, it increases by dozens of times compared to when folded, so the filtration efficiency is very outstanding. Its purification principle is based on the principle of particle inertia and diffusion, and can effectively intercept tiny particles in the air, such as dust, pollen, bacteria, etc.
Electrostatic dust collection technology uses the principle of high-voltage electrostatic adsorption to filter pollutants in the air. It uses the high-voltage strong electric field to adsorb particles on the negative or positive plates, and uses the principle of mutual attraction between different charges to achieve purification. This technology is widely used in indoor air purifiers and can effectively remove large particle pollutants in the air.
Activated carbon is divided into three types: coconut shell, fruit shell and coal. Coconut shell activated carbon has the strongest adsorption capacity. The porous structure and large specific surface area of activated carbon enable it to adsorb small particles in the air, such as odors, chemical gases, etc. Its purification principle is to use the physical adsorption of activated carbon to adsorb harmful substances on the surface of activated carbon.
Negative ion technology generates a large amount of negative ions, also known as negative oxygen ions, through a negative ion generator. Negative ions have the functions of sedation, hypnosis, analgesia, increasing appetite, and lowering blood pressure. After a thunderstorm, people feel happy because of the increase in negative ions in the air. Negative ions can reduce pollutants, nitrogen oxides, active oxygen produced by cigarettes in the atmosphere, etc., reducing the harm of harmful substances to the human body. In addition, negative ions can neutralize positively charged airborne dust and make it settle, thereby purifying the air.
Ozone is a strong oxidant, and its purification principle is based on its strong oxidizing property. Ozone can oxidize organic matter, odor molecules and the functional structure of microorganisms in the air, making them inactive, thereby achieving the effect of sterilization and deodorization. This technology is widely used in air purifiers and can effectively remove odors and bacteria in the air.
Photocatalyst technology is a technology that uses new composite nano high-tech functional materials. Photocatalysts (such as titanium dioxide) can produce catalytic effects under ultraviolet light, exciting surrounding oxygen and water molecules into highly active free radicals. These free radicals can decompose harmful organic substances and some inorganic substances in the air, thereby purifying the air. Photocatalyst technology requires ultraviolet light to work, so you need to pay attention to the configuration of the light source when using it.
The fresh air system can effectively remove pollutants from the air and ensure the cleanliness and safety of indoor air through a variety of advanced purification technologies. HEPA high-efficiency filtration technology, electrostatic dust collection technology, activated carbon adsorption technology, negative ion technology, ozone sterilization and deodorization technology and photocatalytic decomposition technology each have their own advantages, which together constitute the powerful purification ability of the fresh air system.
Choosing a suitable fresh air system can effectively improve indoor air quality and create a healthy and comfortable living environment for people.

The main materials of clean booth directly affect the cleanliness and effect of clean booth. Whether the maintenance is proper directly affects the service life of clean booth.
What materials are used in clean booth:
1. There are generally three types of frame materials for clean booth: stainless steel square tubes, iron square tubes, and aluminum profiles.
2. There are generally three types of materials for the top of clean booth: stainless steel plates, cold-rolled steel plates sprayed with plastic, anti-static mesh curtains, and organic glass.
3. For the clean air supply part, FFU laminar flow hoods (FFU fan filter units) are generally selected.
4. The enclosure materials of clean sheds generally include: anti-static curtains, (anti-static) organic glass.
The functional definition of the design concept of clean booth has mentioned that "controlling the main production process in a smaller environment is also a choice for clean booth design." In fact, this is the application concept of clean booth, with low investment and control of the main process. Since the control point is higher, the cleanliness level of the clean work booth is generally designed to be very high, generally ISO level 5 and level 4, and a few use level 6.
Clean booth is an air purification equipment for local high clean environment. Clean booth is mainly composed of box, fan, primary air filter, damping layer, lamps, etc., and the outer shell is sprayed. Clean booth can be hung or supported on the ground, with compact structure and convenient use. It can be used alone or connected in multiples to form a strip-shaped clean area.
Clean booth is generally referred to as clean booth, dust-free room, etc. Generally, film enclosure is used, so it is more appropriate to call it clean booth. It is also most appropriate to understand it as clean booth if it is not polluted.
High-efficiency air outlets are ideal terminal filtration devices, widely used in medicine, health, electronics, chemicals and other industries. In order to verify whether the clean room can meet the cleanliness requirements, it is necessary to test the clean room and high-efficiency air outlets, so its detection is very important.
How to measure the air volume of high-efficiency air outlets:
1. You can use the air volume hood to directly aim at the nozzle for one-time measurement, direct measurement. Since your nozzle has many small holes (to make the air volume uniform) and there is a grille, then your anemometer can be kept 3-5 cm away from the nozzle. If you have a thermal anemometer, try to face the gap instead of the grille, and measure the average value by the grid method. The same cross-section can be measured.
2. You can measure at multiple points at a distance of 2 times the width of the diffuser from the air outlet. The measuring points should be like a grid and then the wind speed is averaged. The sizes of these vents are similar. Use tinplate or even plastic board to make a barrel that is slightly larger than the cross-section of the air outlet. When measuring, cover the barrel on the air outlet and use the anemometer to measure the nozzle of the barrel at multiple points and then calculate the average value.
3. Through the clean air conditioning circulation fan, through the high-efficiency air filter, medium-efficiency filter, and primary air filter, clean air can be obtained. The cleanliness is different and the wind flow direction is different. Of course, it is also necessary to supplement some fresh air through the fresh air outlet, otherwise people will feel stuffy inside.
Air volume measurement of high-efficiency air outlet:
1. The detection method of high-efficiency air outlet uses active sampling and passive sampling. Active sampling uses filtering method and impact method. Filtration method allows a certain amount of air to pass through an analytical filter.
2. The impact method can use Anderson sampler, Lute centrifugal sampler, and slit sampler. Passive sampling uses the landing method. Use the principle of diffusion of the open agar plate of suspended particles.
3. Of course, with the development of science and technology today, some more sophisticated detection instruments can also be used to quickly detect it.

Nowadays, many companies need to produce products in a clean room, such as large food production and processing and electronics production factory. Therefore, many companies are using clean room. The reason why clean room can be dust-free is mainly because a lot of high-tech purification equipment was installed in the clean room during decoration.
1. The air inlet system of clean room must be installed filter box, and a central purification air conditioner (the central purification air conditioner must be divided into three filter sections: primary efficiency /medium efficiency/high efficiency) with a high-efficiency air supply port at the end. It's necessary to install a purification booster box if need.
2. the return air system of clean room must be installed, including a return air outlet, a pre filter, and a middle filter return air box.
3. Enter the buffer zone before entering cleanr room. Electronic interlocks are installed on the buffer zone door, and clean storage cabinets and air fresheners are placed in the changing area. People and goods entering the clean room, must pass through the air shower, cargo shower room, and use pass box to mainly transfer small items.
4. In the clean room, vertical clean bench, laminar flow hood (FFU), clean booth (removable clean booth) and self-purifier should be installed in some places that need to reach level 10-1000. Laser dust particle counter for measuring the cleanliness of clean rooms.
5. The clean room build should be designed with observation windows to facilitate visits.
Clean room equipment：
1、Air shower, changing room and clean room are the three basic components of the workshop purification system. The air shower is a passage in and out of the clean area. The high-speed clean air jetted out can effectively and quickly remove dust and bacteria carried by the human body. The clean room uses interlayer color steel plates to isolate the space and walls, the upper color steel ceiling is suspended, and the floor is paved with epoxy resin.
2、The most important role of air purification equipment in a clean room is to control the cleanliness, temperature and humidity of the atmosphere that products are exposed, so that products can be produced and manufactured in a good environmental space. This space is called a clean room.
3. According to the clean room management regulations, the dust-free purification level is mainly determined based on the number of particles per cubic meter of air that are greater than the classification standard. But for optical structures, a small dose may produce a very large amount, so air purification equipment is needed to build in clean room.
The above content is the purification equipment that needs to be used in the clean room. Different purification levels have different requirements for purification equipment. This mainly depends on the production needs of each enterprise.
