While others rely on traditional PSC motors, the Esco Airstream Gen 3 Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet is the only vertical-type clean bench in the market that uses Direct Current Electronically Commutated Motor (DC ECM) technology. Reducing energy costs by up to 70%, these clean benches are the greenest ones yet.
Advanced Sterility with HEPA FiltrationThis cabinet is equipped with a HEPA filter that removes 99.99% of airborne particulates as small as 0.3 microns. Coupled with a washable polyester pre-filter, it provides a dual filtration system critical for achieving superior air quality in highly sensitive work environments.
Intuitive Control and Enhanced SafetyThe integrated digital microprocessor system allows precise control and easy monitoring of cabinet status through a touchpanel interface. Visual and audible alarms for airflow failure provide immediate alerts, ensuring safety and continuous protection for users and samples during operation.
Robust, Ergonomic DesignConstructed from powder-coated, electrogalvanized steel with a stainless steel work surface, the cabinet is both durable and simple to keep clean. Its tempered glass front sash offers choice of sliding or fixed opening, supporting ergonomic access and user flexibility.
FAQ's of ESCO Airstream Gen 3 Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet:
Q: How does the ESCO Airstream Gen 3 Laminar Flow Cabinet maintain a sterile environment?
A: The cabinet utilizes vertical laminar airflow at 0.30-0.45 m/s, combined with a washable polyester pre-filter and a HEPA filter with 99.99% efficiency at 0.3 microns. This system traps airborne particles and ensures a continuous supply of clean, particle-free air, thereby maintaining a sterile workspace.
Q: What applications is this laminar flow cabinet suitable for?
A: This model is ideal for laboratory, pharmaceutical, hospital, electronics, and research environments where a sterile, dust-free, and particle-free zone is essential for sample integrity and safety.
Q: When should the pre-filter and HEPA filter be serviced or replaced?
A: The washable polyester pre-filter should be cleaned regularly based on environmental conditions and usage frequency. The HEPA filter typically needs replacement every 1 to 3 years or as recommended by the manufacturer, depending on usage and air quality.
Q: Where can the ESCO Airstream Gen 3 be installed?
A: The unit is designed for indoor use, suitable for laboratories, cleanrooms, medical facilities, and research institutions across India. Its compact dimensions make it adaptable for benchtop or floor-standing installation, depending on the model.
Q: What is the process for starting up and operating the cabinet?
A: Begin by powering on the cabinet and using the microprocessor-controlled touchpanel to select airflow settings. Ensure the front sash is in the correct position, and allow a short purging period before starting work. The system will automatically monitor airflow and alert if parameters deviate.
Q: How does the airflow failure alarm benefit users?
A: The cabinet features both visual and audible alarms that immediately notify users if airflow drops below safe levels. This safety mechanism allows for prompt action, minimizing the risk of contamination or sample compromise.
Q: What are the usage and ergonomic benefits of the stainless steel work surface and tempered glass sash?
A: The stainless steel work surface is corrosion-resistant and easy to sanitize, while the tempered glass sash provides excellent visibility and safety. A sliding or fixed front opening supports ergonomic workflow and easy access to the workspace.
