Forma 1828 laminar airflow clean bench
6’ wide
Class 100 hood
Laminar Airflow
90 day warranty
The design of the Forma 1828 allows high velocity laminar air to travel across the work surface and past the operator. When various sized objects are placed within the work area, the airflow does not permit backwashing (i.e., contaminated outside air will not drift back into the work environment). Work surface and sidewalls are constructed of 16 gauge Type 304 stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning. Blower/motor automatically compensates for filter loading between annual certifications. Intake air passes through a 1.0"" (25mm) fiberglass prefilter. The blower/motor unit moves the air through a zero-probed, HEPA filter rated at 99.99% efficient for 0.3 micron particulates. Positive pressure, unidirectional laminar airflow prevents any inflow of room air contaminants onto the work surface.
Most of our equipment
is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test each clean bench to insure that the controls and blower motor work properly, as well as ensuring that the HEPA filter is suitable for use in lab conditions. Our testing procedure includes all the elements of a clean bench certification in order to insure that the unit will pass certification once it is at your site.

Can I see the equipment in person before committing to a purchase?
Customers are welcome to make an appointment to view equipment in our warehouse. Given our workload we may not be able to test or clean the equipment prior to your arrival if you have not committed to an order.

Yes – please see our repair services page for more information.
