ESCO Pharmacon's Downflow Booths Provide Aerosol Protection

Published 7/7/2009

Esco announced the launch of a new range of Pharmacon Downflow Booths in July of 2009. Downflow booths are used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries for operations such as sampling, grinding, dispensing, and filling, which generate airborne particles. The booths support processes that involve hazardous, toxic, or sensitizing materials and protect operators and adjoining areas from exposure to aerosols of the process materials.Esco Pharmacon Downflow Booths feature:

  • Modular Designs - standard booth width starts at 1.5m (4.92'), and can be increased in 0.5m (~19.5") increments.
  • Single, Two Stage or Three Stage HEPA or ULPA filtration.
  • Re-Circulatory Airflow or Single Pass Airflow if solvent or hazardous fumes are present in the process (may also require explosion proof electrics).
  • Optional Cooling Coils to offset heat gains in re-circulatory airflow systems. (Typical heat gains ~10-15°C, dependent on process).
  • Proven Containment Performance - verified according to the ISPE Good Practice Guide, Assessing the Particulate Containment Performance of Pharmaceutical Equipment.
