When handling nuisance dusts which do not need to be highly contained, localised extraction can be suitable for ensuring operator protection. Ensuring the positioning is correct and having the proper carry velocity is key to effective extraction.

DownFlow Booths deliver containment and operator protection by delivering laminar flow from above through the process zone, ensuring that any process generated particulate is captured, and safety directed away from the operators breathing zone, into the onboard fan and filtration system.

By adding a physical separation between the operator and the process in addition to the above air movement can increase the containment performance ten-fold.

Isolator technology (also known as gloveboxes) provide the best containment performance via the use of a sealed physical barrier and dynamic air movement – this ensures any harmful particulate is kept away and separate from the operator. Isolators can be designed to suit any process and system.
