Horizontal Laminar Flow Booth

The Horizontal Laminar Flow Booth’s controlled, once through, non-turbulent airflow ensures operators, products and processes are protection from dust and fumes – the filtered downflow of air means that only clean air is in the operator’s breathing zone and particles generated in the processing activities are pushed away.

Available custom-built or in standard sizes up to 4m wide the ergonomic design of the Hosokawa Laminar Flow booths allows a wide range of containers to be handled either manually or automatically. Individually designed to meet specific requirements, the flow booths can be supplied with integral fan/motor systems, filling and weighing, processing, or manufacturing equipment zoned according to area classifications.

Air is extracted at the back of the booth through a full rear plenum designed to give a laminar pull of air to 0.5 m/sec across the open front face access and thus creating a non-turbulent airflow pulling away any product emissions from the work area and operator.

How it Works

Hosokawa Micron’s Horizontal Laminar Flow Booth operates by delivering a non-turbulent, once-through laminar airflow horizontally across the work zone, drawing airborne particles and vapors away from the operator’s breathing area and into the rear-wall exhaust plenum. This ensures a clean, controlled environment that protects the operator, the surrounding workspace and product integrity during potentially hazardous processing tasks.

Air is extracted through the perforated rear wall and passed through high-efficiency filters to safely capture any contaminants. The booth’s open-fronted design enables the operator to perform tasks from outside the enclosure, such as dispensing, charging, weighing or transferring materials. With a minimum airflow velocity of 0.5 m/s and the option to integrate CIP systems, weighing units or additional processing equipment, the booth is highly adaptable to complex, high-containment manufacturing requirements across pharmaceutical, chemical, food and other specialist sectors.
