Hosokawa Micron has developed a new low noise Whisper booth.
This compact downflow booth achieves noise levels of approximately 60dba, which is less than a normal conversation, making it one of the quietest downflow booths currently on the market, the firm says.
Capable of delivering OELs of <1µg/m3 the Whisper booth is suitable for applications where it needs to be positioned within quiet zones, or within multi-processing areas where acoustic interference would be a problem and when silent running is more preferable.
‘In using a combination of high efficiency, low vibration and quieter running motors, low noise fans and high density sound attenuating insulation we have been able to create a unique downflow booth that operates at whisper sound levels,’ said Carl Emsley of Hosokawa Micron.
