Portable Airlock

OVERVIEW

The AEC Portable Airlock module is designed to be adaptable for easy integration with existing room openings. When mated, the rooms are fixed in place. With an integrated air handling system that operates in negative or positive pressure modes, the booth then serves to maintain air pressurization differentials and directional air flow between adjacent areas. When the airlock module is not required, it is wheeled away on self-leveling casters. Room lighting, door(s) and self-leveling casters are provided as standard for each unit.

Description

BOOTH OPERATION

The function of the booth is to divide contaminated and non-contaminated areas, and be wheeled away when an airlock is no longer necessary. Each Portable Airlock is designed to accommodate a client’s specific room opening, which are typically single or double parting doors. Once the airlock is docked and secured, an operator can exit the adjoining room and step into the modular airlock. The operator may then gown/degown using a fold-down bench and storage/waste port. Typically, one door is included with the Portable Airlock, however other configurations can be accommodated.

Portable Airlock FAQs

Where and when is an AEC Portable Airlock used?

Wherever there is open handling of highly hazardous powders
When there is a possibility of an isolator breach
Most commonly used in Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Industries
Used as an intermediary stage between processing area and degown area

Can the AEC Portable Airlock also attach to my other rooms?

Yes, provided your door opening is the same style as the opening the portable booth was designed to accommodate. Mounting trim would need to be anchored to the perimeter of any additional openings. If the opening is a different size, customized filler panels may be fabricated to accommodate this.

What pressure differential is the portable booth capable of providing?

The AHU on the unit is capable of providing approximately 200 CFM of air.

The door that comes with the booth is a tight sealing, pressure barrier door with adjustable sweep. Assuming the client’s door(s) area also capable on maintaining a tight seal, then a pressure differential of +/- 0.15 sp wg can readily be accommodated.
