Introduction
In cleanroom industries, standard equipment may not always meet specific production requirements. A Custom Air Shower provides a flexible solution by adapting dimensions, airflow systems, personnel capacity, and additional cleaning functions to suit different manufacturing environments.
Recently, Baihong Purification completed a custom air shower project for a battery manufacturing facility. The solution combined a multi-person air shower with an integrated dry shoe sole cleaning system, helping the customer reduce carbon powder contamination before personnel entered the clean production area.
Customer Challenge
Battery production processes such as coating, slitting, and material handling can generate fine carbon powder. These particles often attach to workers’ clothing, shoes, and equipment surfaces.
If carbon powder is carried into critical cleanroom areas, it may affect battery quality, increase contamination risks, and potentially reduce production yield.
The customer required a contamination control solution capable of removing particles from both garments and shoe soles before personnel entered the clean zone.
Why a Custom Air Shower Was Required
Unlike conventional cleanroom entrances, battery manufacturing environments face unique contamination challenges. Standard air showers can effectively remove loose particles from clothing surfaces, but residual carbon powder trapped in shoe sole grooves often remains a risk.
To address this issue, Baihong Purification designed a Custom Air Shower integrated with a dry shoe sole cleaning machine. This customized configuration was developed specifically for battery production workshops where carbon powder control is critical.
Custom Air Shower Features
1. Integrated Dry Shoe Sole Cleaning System
Traditional wet cleaning systems may cause carbon powder to accumulate or clump.
The dry shoe sole cleaning system removes particles directly from shoe tread patterns while avoiding secondary contamination.
2. Multi-Person Entry Design
The air shower was designed to accommodate multiple operators simultaneously, improving personnel entry efficiency during peak production periods.
3. Double-Door Interlock System
The electronic interlock system prevents both doors from opening at the same time, helping maintain pressure stability and preventing contaminated air from entering the cleanroom.
4. Optimized Airflow Distribution
High-velocity filtered air is directed toward key contamination-prone areas such as:
- Sleeves
- Collars
- Front garment surfaces
- Trouser folds
This improves particle removal performance during the air shower cycle.
5. Concealed Return Air Structure
A specially designed return air channel beneath the equipment captures dislodged carbon powder and directs it into the filtration system, reducing particle accumulation around the entrance area.
Project Results
After installation, the customer achieved:
- Improved control of carbon powder transfer between production areas
- More effective cleaning of personnel footwear and workwear
- Reduced contamination risks at cleanroom entrances
- Improved personnel entry efficiency through multi-person operation
- Easier daily maintenance and housekeeping
The customized solution successfully addressed the contamination challenges specific to battery manufacturing while maintaining smooth personnel flow.
