FlowFAST V
Applications
FlowFAST V have been widely adopted in many sectors of industry and in science laboratories for use when handling no-risk cell cultures or non-pathogenic biological specimens when the aim is to provide a high degree of protection factor to the samples and the products on the worktop.
FlowFAST V have applications in a wide range of disciplines such as: quality control of pharmaceuticals and food/beverage industries, cell culture, sterile handling, PCR.
Operational Principles
The environment air is drawn from the top of the cabinet via a G3 pre-filter and then pulled downwards and filtered by virtue of H14 HEPA/ULPA filter into the working area in positive pressure creating vertical laminar air flow pattern.
About half of the volume is exhausted outside into the environment and remaining volume is re-circulated by means of slots positioned at the bottom of the back panel.
Specifications
External structure in epoxy powder coated cold-rolled steel for excellent corrosion resistance to the attack by aggressive common chemicals. Alternatively special models with external structure made in AISI 304L stainless steel for superior cleanability are also available on demand.
Rear wall in epoxy coated steel, designed to conform to requirements and pass the “cleanability test”.
Work surface in stainless steel AISI 304L fixed in one piece.
Front window: Stratified hinged safety glass to give easy access to large items. It is provided with gas springs to keep it open during maintenance or sanitization operations.
Filtration: H14 HEPA/ULPA filter with an efficiency better than 99,995 % MPPS (EN-1822).
Prefiltration: Inlet G3 pre-filter efficiency 80≤AM≤90 according to EN 779 and UNI 10339
Operation Condition: Air cleanliness in Class ISO 3 as per ISO:EN 14644-1.
Motor blower: direct coupled motor, electronic speed controlled to maintain a constant laminar air flow of 0.45 m/sec, and compensate for a partially clogged filter up to a maximum plenum pressure of 40 mm of water.
Servicing side glass with ports for service taps installation.
The user-friendly practical keyboard and the rear-lit LCD (optional) will continuously display all required data keeping the user constantly informed of the cabinet conditions in operation, and in particular:
- display of laminar airflow velocity
- display of inside and outside temperature
- display of residual lifetime of HEPA/ULPA filter, UV Lamp.
- display of total number of hours of operation
- display of saturation level of HEPA/ULPA filter
Audio-visual alarms (optional) provided for:
- out of range or incorrect laminar airflow velocity
- front window opened
- clogging of HEPA/ULPA filter
- end of life-cycle of UV lamp
- fan-motor malfunction
- power failure
Lighting: fluorescent tubes in built-in housing, placed outside the sterile area.
D.O.P.-DEHS inlet port for testing the HEPA/ULPA filters
Magnetic and removable UV sterilizing lamp (optional) that can be easily placed in each area of the back wall. It is completed with two switch-off countdown timers, one variable on a 0-3 hours scale (1 minute steps), the other set to 3 fixed hours.
