PPurair FLOW series laminar flow
cabinets are designed to protect the
work surface, products and materials
from particulate contamination. Room
air passes through a HEPA filter then
uniformly by laminar flow through the
cabinet interior to protect the work from
unfiltered air. The airflow is oriented
to exhaust airborne particulate
introduced by the user.
The Purair FLOW series product line
employs the Air Science exclusive
Multiplex HEPA filtration technology
to sustain the contamination-free
environment.
FLOW Benefits
- Vertical laminar flow with HEPA/ULPA filtration protects materials inside the cabinet from particulates.
- High airflow capacity
- Configurable with a broad range of options customized to your specific application.
- Easy-to-change filters.
- Available in 2', 3' and 4' widths
Applications
Purair® FLOW Series cabinets offer a proven level of ISO Class 4 product performance at an economical cost. These cabinets are intended for use in non-hazardous applications where biological or biohazard byproducts are not generated and user protection is not required.

Convenience and Construction Benefits
Purair® FLOW Cabinets are available in 3 model sizes with various options.
- Cabinets are shipped fully assembled with standard power cords; no installation required.
- Products are designed for desktop use, or may be installed on an optional base stand or mobile cart.
- The high capacity air handling system delivers flow velocity of 0.45 m/s or 90 fpm.
- Purair® FLOW cabinets are constructed of steel with a microbial powder finish coating.
PURAIR® FLOW AIRFLOW PATTERN
Purair FLOW-36 shown with Multiplex filtration system.
Room air enters from the top of the cabinet through the disposable pre-filter where larger
particles are trapped, increasing the service life of the main HEPA filter.
Air is forced evenly across the HEPA filter to deliver a flow of pure, uniform air within the
work zone to dilute and flush airborne contaminants from the work area.
A nominal filter face velocity of 0.45 m/s (90 fpm) ensures that there is sufficient number
of air changes within the work zone to eliminate cross contamination and to maintain
optimum cleanliness.
Purified air travels across the work zone to the work surface in a vertical, unidirectional
downflow stream, and then exits the work zone across the open cabinet front.
A. The main filter is easy to replace; no tools required. The filter clamps tightly against
the filter gasket to prevent filter bypass and to maintain filter integrity.
