Overview: The OPTIGEL Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinet is designed to protect products from airborne contamination. It features a horizontal airflow system that prevents cross-contamination and allows for additional shelving without obstructing airflow. The cabinet is equipped with a General Electric ECM fan, which is energy-efficient and quiet, and a gel sealant system for easy filter changes.
Specifications: The cabinet provides a clean air working area of ISO-5 class according to ISO-14644 standards. It includes a polished stainless steel work surface and is constructed from easily cleaned materials, including a heated painted metal body and safety glass walls. The HEPA filter has an efficiency of H-14 (99.995% for particles 0.3 microns).
Control Panel: The CPT digital control panel displays air velocity, internal pressure, and fan status. It includes an alarm for pressure drops or clogged filters and controls for the fan, lighting, and standby mode.
Fan Systems: The ECM fan automatically compensates for filter clogging, operates quietly, and consumes 30-40% less electricity than standard fans.
Lighting: Two fluorescent bulbs provide 400-600 Lux on the working area.
Filters: The cabinet includes three filters: two pre-filters with 90% gravimetric efficiency and one mini-pleat HEPA filter with H-14 efficiency.
Sterility: The work area is ISO-5 clean, with an optional germicidal UV lamp for additional sterility, which should only be used when the room is unoccupied.
Dimensions and Weight: The Optigel 12 and Optigel 18 models have different dimensions and weights, with external heights of 800 mm and weights of 100 kg and 150 kg, respectively.
Maintenance: Minimal maintenance is required, primarily involving HEPA filter changes facilitated by the gel sealing method.
Electricity Requirements: The cabinet requires a mono-phase 220 V–50Hz, 10A power supply with a nominal power of 150 W.
Additional Options: Options include a metal stand, middle shelves, gas/vacuum taps, UV light, ULPA filter for ISO-4, PTFE filter media for microelectronics, and an FMS probe for continuous airborne monitoring.
Sectors of Use: The OPTIGEL is suitable for various sectors, including optics, botanic, food industry, pharmaceuticals, research centers, health and hospitals, defense and aviation, chemistry, microelectronics, and micro-mechanics.
