AirClean® Systems PowderSafe™ Type B Enclosures usher in a new era of powder weighing and containment technology. PowderSafe™ Type B enclosures provide a controlled negative pressure HEPA-filtered environment for professionals to work with and weigh powders.

PowderSafe™ Type B is fabricated with polypropylene, which is a chemically resistant, high mass polymer. The innate chemical resistance of polypropylene allows users to easily clean the enclosure without the worry of degradation, while the high mass construction alleviates the threat of vibration and balance disturbance during weighing.

Exclusive to PowderSafe™ enclosures, HepaSafe™ technology allows the operator to safely and easily change both the prefilter and the primary HEPA filter while the enclosure remains under negative pressure. Furthermore, FlowSmooth™ technology provides even, horizontal air distribution throughout the enclosure, preventing turbulence. This laminar horizontal air movement is also key to operator protection from hazardous chemical and compounds being manipulated within the enclosure. PowderSafe™ has been independently tested for containment by both SafeBridge Consultants, Inc and Triangle Certification.

The AirSafe™ automatic safety controller, a standard feature on all PowderSafe™ enclosures, monitors and maintains proper face velocity so accurate balance readings can be ensured without turbulence or vibration. AirSafe™ also monitors HEPA filtration and will alert the end user if filter change is necessary. This advanced technology allows PowderSafe™ to be completely self-contained and self-monitored, eliminating the need for external filter boxes, ductwork, filter sampling ports, or other cumbersome parts.

PowderSafe™ enclosures are the most advanced and user-friendly powder weighing containment solutions available today. Each PowderSafe™ enclosure is shipped fully assembled and made in the USA.

Fume hoods include filtered and ductless fume hoods, general ducted fume hoods, laminar flow cabinets and cabinets for powder weighing. There are three classes of biological safety cabinet, dependent on the level of protection provided. Class I provide personnel and environmental protection, class II provide product, personnel and environmental protection. Class III provide the highest level of protection and are designed for use with high-risk biological agents. Other ventilated workspaces for the laboratory include glove boxes, glove bags, anaerobic and hypoxic workstations.
