Product catalog summary
Overview
Downflow booths provide a safe working environment for operators handling hazardous, toxic, or sensitizing dusts during manual powder handling activities. These booths ensure operator protection by maintaining clean air in the breathing zone and preventing dust exposure.

Recirculating Downflow Booths
These booths achieve a minimum H14 grade 99.995%@MPPS filtration performance. They are designed for environments where hazardous powders are handled, using a conditioned downflow of air to push dust away from the operator's breathing zone. The air is recirculated after passing through a series of filters.

Single Pass Downflow Booths
Ideal for handling fume or solvent-laden substances, these booths operate with a vertical airflow, ensuring that air is discharged 100% to the atmosphere, preventing recirculation of solvent-laden air.

Containment Screens
5D articulated containment screens offer extensive movement options for operators, enhancing ease of use while maintaining containment. These screens can be constructed from various materials and are available in 2D, 3D, and 4D configurations.

New Designs and Developments
New downflow booth designs achieve OELs of <1µg/m3, offering enhanced operator, product, and environmental protection. Hosokawa Micron Ltd provides bespoke solutions tailored to specific requirements, integrating ergonomic design and processing equipment.

Additional Features
- Airlocks: Provide a pressurized barrier to prevent contamination.
- Bag-in, Bag-out Filtration: Allows safe filter changes without direct contact with contaminants.
- Temperature Control: Integrated cooling and heating packages for optimal working conditions.
- Energy Conservation: Automated controls for lighting, temperature, and airflow to save energy.

CONTAINMENT AND POWDER HANDLING SOLUTIONS-1

CONTAINMENT AND POWDER HANDLING SOLUTIONS Operator Protection Product Protection Environment Protection DOWNFLOW BOOTHS Maintain Area Classification NEW DESIGNS deliver OELs of <1µg/m3 Downflow Booths offer a safe working zone for operatives; delivering protection from harmful, hazardous, toxic or sensitizing dusts generated and handled during manual powder handling activities including sampling, dispensing and charging and offloading sub-division from powders or solvents, drum loading and un-loading. RECIRCULATING DOWNFLOW BOOTHS SINGLE PASS DOWNFLOW BOOTHS Ideally for use when fume or solvent laden substances are being handled or when high potency products demand a once through philosophy. The single pass booth operates a vertical airflow, pushing dusts and vapours downwards, to ensure clean air in the operator’s breathing zone with air discharged 100% to atmosphere ensuring that solvent laden air will not be recirculated back into the booth. NEW DEVELOPMENTS FOR HIGH CONTAINMENT 5D ARTICULATED CONTAINMENT SCREENS Hosokawa Micron’s combination of clean air technology and barrier screen protection, between the operator and the source of dust particles, creates downflow booths capable of achieving OEL rates as low as <1µg/m3, which is consistent with more robust, fully enclosed, containment methods. 5D articulated Containment Screens offer a range of movements, side to side; forward and backward; raise and lower; controlled tilt function; controlled rotation to give operators ease of movement with minimal restriction. Optional materials of screen construction include rigid and flexible transparent materials. 2D, 3D and 4D Containment Screens are also available to suit applications and can incorporate a range of neoprene, vinyl or latex gloves or gauntlets for additional ease of use and maintenance of standard operating procedures. DOWNFLOW BOOTHS Achieving a minimum H14 grade 99.995%@MPPS filtration performance, Hosokawa Recirculation Booths are used where hazardous, toxic or sensitizing powders are handled. A conditioned downflow of air passes evenly from the booth’s ceiling inlet plenum pushing any dust downwards and away from the operator’s breathing zone. The air is extracted from the booth via low level exhaust grills and through a series of filters prior to recirculation into the
