Nuclear Downflow Booth

Hosokawa Micron’s Nuclear Downflow Booth is a high-performance containment solution designed to protect operators during the manual handling of hazardous or sensitizing materials. Featuring recirculating vertical unidirectional airflow and advanced multi-stage HEPA filtration, the booth ensures airborne particles are safely captured and removed. Single pass systems are used to remove harmful gasses and vapors from the internal atmosphere.

Trusted by the pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetics, and nuclear sectors, our booths reduce reliance on PPE while delivering compliance with cGMP, FDA, and EMA standards. Configurable with options such as barrier screens, ATEX compliance, integrated lighting, and automated control systems, Hosokawa’s Downflow Booths offer unmatched safety, flexibility, and operational efficiency.

How it Works

Hosokawa Micron’s Nuclear Fume Cupboards operate by drawing contaminated air into the enclosure through the front sash, creating a controlled airflow zone. The air moves uniformly across the workspace, capturing airborne dust, vapors, or particles and routing them through HEPA or carbon filters.

Depending on the design, air is either safely discharged outside or recirculated after purification. Integrated sensors maintain airflow velocity at safe thresholds (>0.5 m/sec) and alert operators if performance drops. With safety features such as sash alarms, explosion protection, and filter change indicators, our fume cupboards ensure consistent compliance and peace of mind.
