Separation of process area with barrier

Separation is a primary containment protection, achieved by inflatable seals, gaskets and silicone sealing.

Negative pressure in process area

Negative pressure is a secondary containment protection, preventing contamination if primary containment protection is broken.

Inlet and outlet air filtering

Inlet air is filtered with protection filter that prevents potential backflow of contaminated air. Outlet air is filtered with two filters, the first filtering contaminated air, while the second protecting from potential damage of the first filter.
