Spetec Laminar Flow Box FBS Series Standard
The Spetec Laminar Flow Box FBS Series Standard was developed for professional laboratory and clean room applications where the highest standards of particle-free and sterile working conditions are required. The FBS Series Standard is used across a wide range of industries, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing, optics, laser technology, the electronics industry and food production. It impresses with its innovative filter technology, modular design, extensive safety certifications and robust quality. This flow box stands out from comparable systems on the market thanks to its flexible size concept and manufacturing tested to the highest standards, making it universally applicable and guaranteeing a reliable sterile environment. Flexible laminar flow technology for professional applications
The FBS Series Standard is available as a horizontal laminar flow box in five different sizes. It generates a constant, uniform laminar air flow that consistently removes particles from the internal working area, thus ensuring a cleanroom class 5 environment in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14644. At its heart is an integrated, highly efficient HEPA filter (H14 according to EN 1822), which filters at least 99.995% of all airborne particles - including hazardous aerosols, fine dust and microbiological contamination.
Important technical specifications and features:
- Five size variants from 610 x 610 mm to 1830 x 610 mm filter area
- External housing dimensions (depending on model): 735 x 735 x 1249 mm to 1955 x 735 x 1249 mm
- Weight depending on model: 57 to 108 kg
- Robust, powder-coated aluminium housing for maximum stability and durability
- Large front working opening with safety glass for maximum operator safety and optimum visibility
- Quiet operation thanks to vibration- and noise-reduced fans (< 55 dB(A))
- Intuitive control with various programming modes for adaptation to individual applications
- Modular and expandable, ideal for integration into existing cleanroom environments
The FBS Series Standard supports easy maintenance and convenient filter replacement without special tools. The aerodynamically optimised air flow and generous work surface enable ergonomic and, at the same time, high-purity work.
Certifications and standards
The Flowbox meets and exceeds all regulations relevant to cleanroom workstations:
- EN 12469:2000 (Performance requirements for microbiological safety cabinets)
- TÜV certificate for tested quality and safety
- VDI 2083 guidelines (cleanroom technology)
- DIN EN ISO 14644 (classification of air cleanliness)
- US Fed Std. 209E (cleanroom classification)
This ensures maximum process reliability for laboratory and production environments in accordance with globally recognised standards.
Practical application examples
The versatility of the FBS Series Standard makes it the first choice for a wide range of industry requirements. Typical applications include:
-
Semiconductor manufacturing: Protection of wafers, substrates and microelectronic components during assembly and testing, safe handling of sensitive chemicals such as hydrogen fluoride or acetone.
-
Optics and optoelectronics: Assembly and adjustment of sensitive lenses, mirrors and microsystems, handling of coatings and precision components.
-
Laser technology: Manufacture and maintenance of laser modules, handling of optical laser crystals, adjustment and maintenance of sensitive assemblies.
-
Food production: Use as an airlock solution for filling sterile food or pharmaceutical preparations, analytical quality control of microbiological samples.
Thanks to its flexible size, the system is also suitable for other applications such as sample preparation in pharmaceutical research, as a compact workstation for PCR analyses or for high-purity assembly processes in precision engineering.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Which filter class is used in the FBS series standard?
The devices are equipped with HEPA filters of class H14 in accordance with EN 1822 as standard. These filter at least 99.995% of all particles 0.3 µm from the air.
How can I carry out maintenance and filter changes easily?
The design allows for quick filter changes without special tools, directly from the operating side. An indicator light signals when a replacement is necessary.
How loud is the unit during operation?
With a noise level of less than 55 dB(A), quiet and pleasant operation is guaranteed - ideal for noise-sensitive working environments such as laboratories or electronics manufacturing facilities.
