Industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, medical devices, and biological laboratories have stringent requirements for particulate and microbial cleanliness, and personnel and material entry and exit are among the largest sources of contamination in clean areas. The Air Shower uses high-speed clean airflow to blow off dust attached to surfaces of entering personnel in all directions. It is an indispensable "physical barrier" and purification checkpoint between clean and non-clean areas, safeguarding the first threshold of cleanliness from the source.
