Aili Industrial /Clean Room Entrance Equipment

AIR SHOWER / CARGO AIR SHOWER

Air shower room and cargo shower room

Used for blowing the surface of personnel and materials at the entrance of the clean area. The filtered air is sent out through the nozzle to help reduce loose particles attached to the surface of clean clothes or adapted packaging; the return air enters the filtration cycle according to the designed path.

Aili Industrial offers single, double, three-person, extended aisle, as well as sliding door, corner, three-door and cargo shower structures. When selecting a model, first consider the traffic objects, usage during busy hours and on-site clearance, and then determine the door type, air system and control process.

Personnel entrance and material entrance determine the usage conditions respectively.

Air shower equipment should be considered in the complete entry and exit process. Changing clothes, handling outer packaging, waiting at the entrance and connecting channels in the clean area will all affect the actual use of the equipment.

Personnel exposure

First, count the number of arrivals during busy hours, and explain the number of people in each batch, station location and return method. Turning around, arm movements and door leaf movements after wearing clean clothes should be included in the clearance inspection.View personnel model。

Cargo shower and material flow

The passing envelope is calculated based on loaded goods, pallets and handling tools. The bottom of the goods, packaging folds and mutual shielding areas may not be blown by the airflow, and should be coordinated with the outer packaging cleaning and handling procedures.View cargo shower models。

The air shower is responsible for the airflow shower that adapts to the surface. Clean clothing management, material cleaning, room air supply and pressure difference control still need to be matched; the blowing process cannot be directly used as the result of item disinfection or sterilization.

Pay attention to daily wiping and material resistance at the entrance. The materials and surface treatments of the inner walls, outer boxes, door frames, and floors are listed separately.

View the stainless steel air shower

Choose by material and handling method

Focus on checking the loading clearance, ground transition, wheel pressure and door body movement. The dimensions and control procedures of personnel passages are not directly used for cargo transfer.

When selecting a model, first look at the entry task, then look at the product name.

The number of people, material and door type are different selection conditions.

Busy hour traffic capacity, calculated on a complete cycle basis

The shower countdown is only part of the traffic cycle. For multi-person aircraft or extended aisles, the entry and exit sequence, mutual blocking of personnel and exit congestion should also be considered.

  1. Entry allows people or goods to enter and complete station or positioning.
  2. Close confirmation confirms that the relevant door position meets the start conditions of the selected program.
  3. The blow shower is completed according to the specified position, loading and running time.
  4. Exit release Follow the prompts or linkage signals and leave from the specified exit.
  5. The door is closed and the exit is closed, and the equipment returns to the next available state.
The total cycle of each batch = entry + closing confirmation + blowing + leaving + reset

Count the actual arrivals during shift changes or concentrated feeding periods, and use the time required for the entire batch to evaluate the waiting situation. After lengthening the box, the nozzles and return air at each station should be reviewed simultaneously; when blowing or zoning is required during travel, the action and usage conditions should be clearly defined separately.

The internal configuration of the air shower channel: the station position, air supply and return air in each section must be arranged according to the usage method.

Gating control procedures, step by step agreement on entry, shower and exit

There should be clear action instructions for normal operation, return, failure and emergency operations. Automatic door, swipe card, induction or external linkage functions are subject to the selected control configuration.

In a three-door structure, the allowed routes must be clearly defined first, and then interlocking must be set up; it cannot be inferred from the number of doors that any two doors are passable.

The shower system should be checked together with fans, filters, nozzles and return air

Wind speed at the nozzle reflects local airflow conditions and cannot alone account for full cavity coverage or actual particle removal results. Operational inspections should retain nozzle positions, measuring points, and equipment status.

Filtration and power

Check fan operating conditions against air system resistance and nozzle requirements. Filtration level, rated air volume, size and sealing should correspond to actual configuration.

Nozzles and coverage

Arrange the nozzle direction according to the height, station position, cleaning clothing or cargo loading position of the personnel. Mutual occlusion, grooves and bases are to be taken into account in the assessment of use.

Return air and maintenance

Do not place items near the return air outlet or park the cart for a long time. Primary-efficiency and high-efficiency filters are managed separately, and paths are left for replacement.

Testing and Recording

Distinguish between nozzle wind speed, system air volume, filtration performance and complete machine operation inspection. When comparing different devices, first unify the measurement objects and test conditions.

Cargo shower room selection, considering cargo, vehicle and door as a set of conditions

Use the physical envelope after loading to inspect the entrance and cavity, taking into account cart handles, pallet protrusions, casters and manual operating space.

Materials and cleaning requirements, specific to contact surfaces and maintenance methods

'Stainless steel' should have clear coverage. Writing the daily cleaning agents, wiping frequency and contact conditions into the selection data will help determine the design of the inner wall, outer box, door frame and floor.

Materials and surfaces

List material grades, internal and external coverage, surface treatments, joints and sealing materials. Similar appearance alone cannot be considered the same cleaning tolerance.

Flooring and details

Focus on cleaning accessibility of baseboard texture, seams, door frames and return grilles. The cargo shower structure also checks the contact load of the pallet or casters on the bottom plate.

When there is a need for static electricity control

Describe sensitive objects, existing grounding and testing requirements, and then evaluate applicable materials, grounding interfaces, or other options. The appearance of ordinary stainless steel cannot prove the static electricity control performance of the whole machine.

Cleaning and maintenance arrangements

Mark the removable parts, filter replacement side and access surface on the diagram to prevent the maintenance surface from being blocked by the building envelope or adjacent equipment after the equipment is installed.

Select entrance equipment by process

The same industry may also use different procedures for changing clothes, entering and exiting people, and cleaning materials. Selection should be connected with on-site operation and entrance management.

Semiconductors and Electronics

Manage and arrange personnel entrances around clean clothing, frequency of entry and exit, shift flow, and particle introduction.

Display and Optoelectronics

Check the use of clean clothes, personnel positions and packaging of sensitive materials, and evaluate whether the blow shower is suitable.

Precision manufacturing

Pay attention to the handling envelope of tooling and turnover parts to avoid congestion caused by mixing with personnel entrances.

medical device

Connect the actual entry and exit procedures for components, packaging, and personnel; blow showers do not assume the task of sterilizing equipment.

Food & Beverage

Materials, door frames, and floors cooperate with the cleaning process to arrange the entry of personnel and materials respectively.

Cosmetics and daily chemicals

Verify airflow, materials and entry and exit routes in conjunction with packaging materials, changing and wiping requirements.

Pharmaceutical related production

It will be configured according to the specific process and entrance management requirements, and the processes involving microbial control will be confirmed separately.

Laboratory and R&D

First identify the risks to personnel, samples and equipment; for special hazards, do not directly use ordinary air shower configuration.

From door position to control, reduce repeated modifications of customized projects

Aili Industry connects motors, fans, control system software and hardware, air filters, sheet metal and complete machine assembly testing. Changes in size, airflow, and motion in air shower projects can be discussed under the same set of conditions.

Synchronous matching of power and filtration

When the number of nozzles, air ducts or filter specifications change, power and filtration related personnel jointly check the air volume, resistance and installation location to avoid mismatching the space or operating conditions after selecting the components.

Gating procedures are checked together with the structure

The door position, sensor position, shower start and exit release are written into an action table, and then correspond to the door lock, sensor and box layout. Discuss exceptions and recovery steps simultaneously for multi-door and automatic door projects.

Sheet metal processing connection installation diagram

Door openings, inner cavities, return air, access openings and on-site hemming are checked before processing, and structural changes can be processed together with component installation and assembly sequence.

Internal collaboration to coordinate response and costs

Changes in requirements are directly communicated by fans, filtration, control and structural personnel, reducing multiple translations and repeated adaptations. The quotation also takes into account manufacturing, transportation staging, installation and subsequent maintenance, and the specific development plan and cost are listed on a project-by-project basis.

30,000 square meters of manufacturing base, connecting core components and complete machines

The manufacturing system covers motors, fans, control system software and hardware, air filters, sheet metal processing and purification equipment assembly. For air shower projects, corresponding links will jointly check component matching, processing and assembly conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Air Showers and Cargo Showers

Focusing on equipment selection, entrance layout, operating parameters, and procurement and maintenance, common judgment points in project communication are organized.

Selection and adoption

What does 'double blow' mean? Are two people using it at the same time?

Double blowing usually refers to arranging nozzles from both sides of the cavity for blowing, and does not represent the number of users. Single person, double person, and three person respectively describe the number of people configuration, which still needs to be checked based on the actual position and operation actions.

The more people there are in the air shower, the greater the capacity?

You can’t just judge by the number of people and their names. The complete cycle includes entering, closing the door, blowing shower, leaving and resetting; it also depends on the arrival volume, queuing and exit during busy hours. Multiple users should check for mutual occlusion.

Can the air shower be blown while walking?

The selected plan shall prevail. The stations, effective shower time and release methods used in batch stay and marching systems are different; the path, speed and actual coverage of marching system needs to be evaluated separately.

How to agree on the left and right turns of the corner air shower?

Based on the direction of personnel after entering from the designated entrance, the entrance, exit and clean side should be indicated on the plan diagram, as well as the door hinges, door opening direction and inspection surface.

Can a three-door air shower allow three areas to be freely connected?

This cannot be inferred based on the number of doors. First, clarify the connection areas and allowed routes of each door, evaluate whether it is suitable for sharing the shower space, and then set the door control and route selection.

Is it enough to only report the length, width and height of the cargo for the cargo shower room?

Loaded pallets, carts, handles and protruding parts should also be included to supplement the total weight, wheel pressure, turning and operating space. Door opening clearance, inner cavity, and external dimensions are provided separately.

Airflow, materials and controls

The higher the nozzle wind speed, the better the blowing effect?

Nozzle wind speed is only a local indicator. It is also necessary to look at the nozzle orientation, station position, occlusion, return air, clean clothes or packaging status; when comparing values, the measuring points and operating conditions should be unified.

What is the difference between nozzle wind speed and air volume?

Wind speed is often expressed in m/s, which describes the airflow speed at a specified location; air volume is commonly expressed in m³/h, which describes the volume of air passing through per unit time. The two are related to the nozzle area, air duct and operating conditions, and cannot be directly mixed as one parameter.

Is it necessarily better to set the shower time longer?

The time needs to be determined based on clothing, posture, material characteristics and entrance management requirements. Extending the time will affect the complete traffic cycle, and the particle removal effect cannot be directly determined based on this.

Do automatic sliding doors take up no space at all?

It reduces the area in front of the door occupied by the swing door, but still requires lateral sliding, driving and maintenance space, and checks the detection protection and door body in place conditions.

Can the stainless steel air shower be compatible with all cleaning agents?

Material compatibility needs to be judged based on grade, surface treatment, concentration, temperature and contact time. When ordering, list the inner wall, outer box, door frame, bottom plate and sealing materials respectively.

What to do with the door when there is a power outage or malfunction?

The lock's power-off status, manual handling, emergency operation and re-powering process should be clearly defined in the control plan, and should be checked with site access and emergency requirements. Different configurations cannot directly apply the same action.

Procurement, maintenance and supporting

Does having a HEPA filter guarantee a clean room rating?

Filter performance, shower system operation and room cleanliness levels are separate objects. Rooms still rely on air supply, installation sealing, air flow organization, and personnel and material management to maintain them.

Can an air shower replace changing clothes, cleaning or sterilization?

It is not intended as a general replacement for these processes. Air shower is used to adapt the air flow to the surface and should be coordinated with changing clothes and material cleaning; microbial control or sterilization requires separate applicable processes and confirmations.

How often should high efficiency filters be replaced?

Develop a plan based on operating hours, site environment, pre-filtration maintenance, resistance and performance changes. There is no uniform life span that applies to all inlets, and seals and related operating conditions should be checked after replacement.

How to compare quotes from different manufacturers?

Use the same condition sheet to compare headroom, material coverage, filtration and power, door types and controls, inspection items, transport sections, installation boundaries and information. Only the cabinets have similar shapes and cannot be considered to have the same configuration.

Can an air shower be customized at the entrance of an old workshop?

It can be customized according to the existing door openings, wall columns, elevations, moving paths and maintenance locations. First, evaluate the access routes and clearance. Changes in door position also require simultaneous checking of nozzles, return air and control.

What information should I prepare first when making an inquiry to Aili Industrial?

Prepare site plan, personnel or material usage, busy hour frequency, clear aisle requirements, door type, materials, power supply and control procedures. The material items add information on loading appearance, weight and handling tools.
