70mm ultra-thin EFU

Provide a more compact air filtration solution for the clean environment inside the equipment

Semiconductor equipment, precision electronic equipment and other high-end manufacturing equipment require the integration of mechanical, electrical, process and clean air systems in a limited structural space.


The size and installation structure of traditional air filtration equipment may be limited by the internal space of the equipment.

Aili Industrial's 70mm ultra-thin EFU is designed to be ultra-thin for this application scenario. The ultra-thin fan structure reduces the space occupied by the air filtration module on the equipment side, and the product size, air volume, filter and control method are matched according to the equipment installation conditions.


Suitable for semiconductor equipment, EFEM, precision electronic equipment, optoelectronic equipment and other applications that require clean air at the equipment end.

What is EFU?

What is EFU (Equipment Fan Filter Unit)?

EFU, the equipment-end fan filter unit , is an air filtration equipment for the local clean environment inside the production equipment or at the equipment end.

Unlike FFU, which is mainly installed on the ceiling of a clean room, EFU pays more attention to:

  • Equipment internal installation space

  • local clean area

  • Equipment structure integration

  • Equipment side air supply

  • Matching air volume and wind speed

  • filter resistance

  • control system interface

  • Cooperation with the overall structure of the equipment

Therefore, EFU is not simply a reduction of ordinary FFU, but needs to the equipment structure, installation space and air treatment requirements .be designed based on

70mm ultra-thin structure - more space reserved for device integration

Aili Industrial 70mm ultra-thin EFU adopts 70mm ultra-thin box structure。

The 70mm fan structure combined with the HEPA/ULPA filter module can form a typical overall working thickness of approximately 100mm.

This structure is especially suitable for: small spaces inside the equipment → top of the equipment → side walls of the equipment → local clean areas

Why do you need ultra-thin EFU?

Space inside equipment is increasingly restricted

Semiconductor and precision manufacturing equipment usually require the integration of a large number of functional modules.

For example: mechanical movement mechanisms, process modules, electrical components, sensors, piping systems, vacuum systems, control systems, clean air systems, etc. These systems jointly occupy the internal space of the equipment.


Therefore, in addition to meeting air filtration and air supply requirements, the equipment-side air filtration module also needs to consider:

Installation space

There is limited space available inside the device.

Structure size

The EFU needs to match the overall structure of the device.

Air volume

It needs to be determined according to the clean area inside the equipment.

static pressure

The airflow resistance inside the filter and equipment needs to be considered.

control

Requires communication or linkage with the equipment control system.

This is also where the application logic of ultra-thin EFU is different from that of ordinary FFU.

Why does ultra-thin EFU need to be customized?

Space may vary on each device

Semiconductor equipment manufacturers usually determine the EFU installation location based on the internal structure of the equipment.

Different projects may have: different sizes, different air inlet directions, different air outlet directions, different installation hole positions, different air volume requirements, different static pressure requirements, and different control interfaces.

Therefore, Aili Industry not only provides standardized products, but also supports customization according to customer equipment conditions.

How does Aili Industrial EFU work inside the equipment?

Equipment-side air filtration process

EFU is installed according to the internal space and airflow organization of the equipment to provide filtered air to the designated area.

01 Air entry
Ambient air enters the EFU inlet side .

→
02 Fan drive
The motor drives the fan to produce stable airflow.

→
03 High efficiency filtration
The air passes through filters such as HEPA or ULPA.

→
04 Clean output
The filtered air enters the target clean area.

→
04 Clean output
The filtered air enters the target clean area.

Why is Aili Industrial EFU more suitable for equipment-side applications?

The equipment-side EFU requires more than just a fan and filter, but a complete system matching.

01 Start with core components

Aili Industrial has the R&D and manufacturing capabilities of core components such as motors, fans, filters and control systems.

02 Start from the device space

Design the EFU structure according to the internal height, width, installation location and interface conditions of the equipment.

03 Start with air performance

Comprehensive consideration of air volume, static pressure, wind speed, filter resistance and air flow distribution.

04 Start with control requirements

Speed ​​regulation, PLC linkage, RS485, Modbus and other solutions can be configured according to the equipment control system.

05 Run verification from the whole machine

Conduct corresponding performance tests on fans, filters, control systems and the operating status of the entire machine.

Why is the entire industry chain important to ultra-thin EFU? Ultra-thin products require rematching of components

Ordinary products can be combined according to mature standard sizes. But ultra-thin EFU needs to be completed simultaneously in a limited space:

Fan→ Motor→ Air duct→ Filter→ Box→ Control

Space and performance matching between individual components. Aili Industrial has the manufacturing capabilities of fans, motors, control systems, filters, sheet metal and complete machines, so it can match the entire product rather than just processing a single box.
