Designed to be fitted at mission-critical elements of the manufacturing process line, the HEPA-lite cleanroom unit has been launched by Connect 2 Cleanrooms. To protect processes from contamination, the cleanroom unit provides localised filtered air. The unit does this without the need to enclose the entire machine set-up within a clean environment.

The unit's low, braked castors and angle-adjustable legs, along with it's made to order C-frame, highlight it's flexibility. Featuring a small footprint, the unit is suitable for workspaces where space is restricted. The unit can be used on injection moulding machines, conveyor systems and process and flow lines. The HEPA-lite is suitable for manufacturers in healthcare, pharmaceutical and food sectors, for both product and packaging.

Cleaning the unit, changing it's tools and maintaining it's machinery is made easy through the mobile design. To allow the manufacturer to specify upper and lower thresholds for air pressure requirements, the unit provides integrated LED lighting and a digital pressure differential transmitter with digital output. If pressure varies outside of these parameters, an audible and visual warning alarm is triggered.

On request, side panel options are available, with either a softwall curtain or clear acrylic hardwall. The unit can also be supplied with the customer's branding. Connect 2 Cleanrooms will be exhibiting the HEPA-lite at Interplas, from 30th September to 2nd October 2014, at the NEC, Birmingham, UK.

“Currently there are huge cost implications for manufacturers wanting to take on contracts that require ISO 14644-1 standards or a Class 5-9 environment. Our UK-based product development team has designed a product which will make this type of work available to firms for a greatly reduced initial outlay and in a much faster timescale,” commented Joe Govier, Managing Director, Connect 2 Cleanrooms. “HEPA-lite is economical, adaptable and efficient. It effectively maintains the quality of air at points where the product is exposed, negating the need for the entire production line to be fully enclosed within a cleanroom.”

“We are very much looking forward to demonstrating HEPA-lite to visitors at Interplas. It is a product we are extremely proud of and one which we believe will be of enormous benefit to many companies,” Govier added.
