Laminar Air Flow System (LAF)

Designed for pharmaceutical environments, laminar airflow systems reduce contamination risks, protect personnel, and control temperature to support stable, aseptic processes.

UDAF for safe and stable processes

Protect your product and operators with controlled and unidirectional airflow (UDAF). Ensure aseptic applications, improve process efficiency, and maintain stable environmental conditions across different work areas.

Benefits

High product protection 

Achieve aseptic conditions through clean, low-turbulence displacement flow that captures and removes airborne particles in a controlled manner. 

Reduce contamination risks 

Minimize contamination risks in aseptic environments through unidirectional airflow that captures and removes particles from the working area.

Guarantee personnel safety 

Protect products from airborne hazards during the handling of different substances, including liquids and powders. 

Stable environmental conditions 

Optimize temperature levels to ensure product stability throughout the manufacturing process.

Increased cleanroom class

A LAF device in a cleanroom increases the cleanroom class by one level. This means that LAF can provide class A conditions within a class B environment or a class C to a class B environment. 

Key features

Laminar air flow systems provide product protection through unidirectional airflow (UDAF). A clean, low-turbulence displacement flow streams vertically into the working area and escapes near the floor. This ensures that capturing and removing airborne particles happens in a controlled manner.

  • Recirculation system: Laminar air flow recirculation ensures controlled handling of airborne particles during processing. 
  • HEPA filtration: H14 filters are used for both process and exhaust air to maintain clean air conditions.
  • Material construction: Self-supporting stainless steel (1.4301) or sheet steel design supports durability and compliance.
  • Air outlet options: Perforated plates or membrane distributors ensure even, low-turbulence airflow across the work area, maintaining consistent particle control and reliable product protection.
  • Air intake options: The system can draw air either from an HVAC connection or from prefiltered room air. This allows an easier integration into existing facility setups or operation.
  • Flexible mounting options: The system can be mounted on a machine frame, suspended from the ceiling, or installed on pillars. This flexibility supports different layouts and makes it easier to adapt the solution to available space and process design.
  • GMP and FDA-compliant design: LAF systems meet all rigorous industry standards.
