When it comes to Air Shower Design, it is fully customizable to meet specific operational needs, positioning the air shower as a critical device for maintaining cleanroom integrity.
A key example is Baihong Purification’s recent project for a battery manufacturing facility, where a customized multi-person, double-door air shower was integrated with a dry shoe sole cleaning machine.
I will now present a case study: a solution developed for a battery production workshop. This project involved a customized multi-person, double-door air shower integrated with a dry shoe sole cleaning machine to address specific contamination challenges in the battery manufacturing process.
Firstly, the Air Shower Design process offers a range of customizable combination solutions to satisfy the requirements of different industrial settings. Specifically for battery production workshops, the recommended configuration is an “Air Shower integrated with a Dry Shoe Sole Cleaning Machine”.
Case Study: An Air Shower Design Solution for a Battery Production Workshop
During battery production, processes such as coating and slitting generate residual carbon powder, which can adhere to equipment surfaces and personnel clothing. If these particles are carried into subsequent clean areas like the cell assembly zone, they may cause internal micro-short circuits in the batteries, ultimately impacting product yield.
Therefore, it is essential to implement efficient carbon powder removal from both personnel and items before they enter the clean area, thereby preventing cross-regional contamination at the source.
At the heart of this customized Air Shower Design is the integration of an air shower with a dry shoe sole cleaner, a solution that replaces the traditional wet cleaning method known for causing carbon powder clumping.
The dry system thoroughly removes residual carbon powder from the sole treads, while the concealed return air channels at the base of the air shower, combined with floor sealing strips, work in synergy to ensure that dislodged powder is captured by the return air system. This prevents particles from infiltrating the clean area through floor gaps and minimizes cleaning dead zones.
Additionally, this air shower is specifically engineered to enhance the removal of carbon powder from folded areas of workwear, such as cuffs and collars. During the air shower cycle, the interlocking door system prevents both doors from being opened simultaneously, effectively blocking contaminated, un-purified air from flowing directly into the clean area.
This customized solution not only enhances contamination control at the source but also, with its multi-person, double-door design, ensures an efficient and smooth workflow. The customizable nature of air showers makes them an ideal choice for industries with stringent cleanliness requirements.
