At Sapphire Cleanrooms, we specialize in building customized solutions for controlled environments. One of our most innovative developments is the Custom Air Shower a fully customized unit designed to meet the highest standards in cleanliness, safety, and operational efficiency.
What is an Air Shower?
An air shower is a transition chamber between non-clean and clean areas. It uses high-velocity air jets to remove particles from personnel or materials before entering controlled environments. This minimizes cross-contamination and extends the lifespan of HEPA filters in critical zones.
