Cross flow units
Weighing Cabin Cross Flow Units provide a controlled airflow workspace for weighing and handling powders, helping minimize contamination and support clean laboratory and pharmaceutical processes.
FASTER
Description
The FASTER Cross Flow Units (CFU) are specially developed modular systems for the safe handling of powdery substances during sampling, weighing and dosing operations. Originally designed to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, CFUs now offer a reliable solution for a wide range of production areas where powder dusts pose a potential risk to people, products and the environment. The CFU modules create a controlled working environment through targeted air routing, which ensures personal protection, product protection and environmental protection - and thus consistently eliminates the risk of cross-contamination.
Product Benefits
- Reliable protection for operator, product and environment
- Modularly expandable and individually configurable
- GMP-compliant design for pharmaceutical processes
- Maintenance-friendly thanks to tool-free filter changes
- Energy-saving and low-noise operation
- Robust, durable stainless steel construction
Areas of application
- Pharmaceutical production
- Chemical industry
- Cosmetics production
- Food supplements and fine chemicals
- Laboratory and research facilities
Functional principle: Lateral laminar airflow with containment
The cross flow units generate a horizontal laminar air flow, which is combined with a slight negative pressure. This shields the module from the room air system and at the same time ensures continuous cleaning of the work surface. This air flow concept prevents powder particles from entering the environment and at the same time protects the product from contamination by ambient dust or foreign particles.
Construction and materials
Housing
- Made entirely of high-quality AISI 304L stainless steel with Scotch-Brite surface (4B finish)
- Pressure-bent metal plates with 3 mm radius to prevent dirt deposits and for easy cleaning
- Roughness depth: < 0.8 Ra - for optimum cleanability and smooth surfaces
Side panels & containment
- Lateral containment thanks to sturdy stainless steel side panels
- Flexible PVC strip curtains provide additional protection against particle discharge
