Esco is a leader in premium laminar flow clean benches for the global industrial and life sciences market. Since 1978, Esco has installed tens of thousands of laminar flow clean benches providing reliable protection for samples and work processes for a multitude of applications.

Esco laminar flow clean benches are the premium selection for the discerning purchaser, offering a combination of value, high quality construction, low operating noise levels, and a wide product range to suit all budgets, from the industry leader. Esco Enterprise Laminar Flow Straddle Units are designed for larger-scale process protection in industrial applications typically requiring multiple units connected in an assembly line configuration. They may be placed within an ISO Class 8 cleanroom to provide an ultra-clean environment directly at the process level, without the initial and operating costs associated with a full-sized ISO Class 3 or 4 cleanroom.

Product Highlights

• The straddle unit work surface is constructed of stainless steel, making the work zone easy to clean. The interior surface will not chip, rust or generate particles.
• Reliable rocker switches operate the fan and lights and a Minihelicª pressure gauge monitors straddle unit operation.
• Built-in warm white, electronically ballasted, 5000k lighting provides excellent illumination of the work zone and reduces operator fatigue. The reliable lighting system is zero flicker and instant start.
• All components are designed for maximum chemical resistance and enhanced durability for a long service life.
• The main body of the straddle unit is constructed of industrial-grade electrogalvanized steel.
• The straddle unit is mobile on casters and may be fixed in place via the built-in leveling feet.
• All straddle unit components are clean room compatible.
• Isocide eliminates 99.9% of surface bacteria within 24 hours of exposure.
• Transparent acrylic side panels enhance visibility and create a more comfortable work environment for the operator as opposed to conventional stainless steel or painted steel sides.
• Acrylic side panels are removable when multiple units are connected.
• Acrylic is scratch and abrasion resistant, does not particulate, and decontaminates easily.
• Esco straddle units provide ISO Class 4 air cleanliness within the work zone as per ISO 14644.1, 10 times cleaner than the usual Class 5 classification on laminar flow cabinets offered by the competition.
• High quality ULPA filters utilizing an improved mini-pleated separation technique to maximizes surface area improves efficiency and extends the filter life. Filters operate at a typical efficiency of >99.999% at 0.1 to 0.3 micron sizes, providing superior product protection over conventional HEPA filters.
• An additional disposable pre-filter on all models traps large particles in the inflow air prior to reaching the main filter, protecting it against damage and prolonging its life.
• Esco straddle units incorporate permanently lubricated direct drive centrifugal blowers.
• The energy efficient external rotor motor design reduces operating costs and has extremely low noise and vibration levels.
• Built-in solid state variable speed controllers, with integral RFI and noise filters, are superior to conventional ÒstepÓ controllers and offer infinite adjustment from zero to maximum setting.
• Each straddle unit is individually factory tested for safety and performance in accordance with international standards.
• All electrical components are UL listed or UL recognized, ensuring superior electrical safety for the operator.
