ISO Class 5 Corner Air Shower with Automatic Sole Cleaning: Advanced Cleanroom Entry Protection

In industries where even microscopic contamination can compromise results, the importance of controlled entry cannot be overstated. Electronics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and aerospace sectors all demand environments where particulate levels are tightly regulated. Among the most effective solutions for contamination prevention is the ISO Class 5 corner air shower with automatic sole cleaning.

This system combines the highest level of air filtration with intelligent space-saving design and automated footwear decontamination. It ensures personnel entering sensitive areas do so without carrying contaminants that could disrupt production or research.

An air shower is a controlled chamber that removes dust, lint, and other particulates from workers before they enter a cleanroom. The corner configuration makes it ideal for facilities with limited floor space, fitting seamlessly into architectural layouts without reducing efficiency.

Adding an automatic sole cleaning system takes decontamination to the next level. Shoe soles are one of the most common contamination sources, often overlooked in traditional systems. Through brushes, rollers, or adhesive mats, the system ensures that footwear is free from debris before personnel are allowed entry.

Operating at ISO Class 5 standards, this air shower ensures a maximum of 3,520 particles (≥0.5 μm) per cubic meter, making it suitable for some of the most demanding cleanroom environments.

ISO Class 5 is a stringent cleanroom classification used in sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing, gene therapy, aerospace engineering, and advanced medical device production.

• Higher Precision: Protects microelectronics from submicron particle damage.
• Product Safety: Reduces contamination that could compromise sterile pharmaceutical production.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets requirements for critical process environments.

An ISO Class 5 corner air shower with automatic sole cleaning ensures that every person entering the cleanroom complies with these rigorous standards.
