The clean bench, often referred to as a laminar flow cabinet, is crucial in various industries for maintaining a workspace free from contamination. By circulating filtered air continuously, these units ensure sterile conditions essential for sectors like aerospace, bioscience, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Utilizing a ductless filtration system, clean benches supply air that is free from pollutants and toxins. This makes them an environmentally sound choice as they recycle air, don’t produce hazardous waste, and are economical due to their low installation and maintenance costs, with only the annual replacement of filters required. These units are designed for immediate operation without the need for complex HVAC integration and are mobile, plugging directly into standard outlets. They also meet ACGIH standards, ensuring compliance across various settings.
Despite these advantages, there’s often a lack of awareness about the necessary upkeep to maintain these benches in peak condition and meet regulatory standards. For specific instructions on maintaining clean benches, including cleanroom testing and certification, please see the comprehensive infographic that follows.
