Terra's Horizontal Laminar Flow Hood exceeds ISO 5 particle requirements for critical operations in the biotech, pharmaceuticals, electronics and semiconductor industries
Powerful, low-energy fan/filter modules provide a back-to-front laminar flow of HEPA-filtered air across the work surface
The variable-speed, electrically commutated filter/fan(s) provide average air speeds of 109 FPM (0.55 m/s) while maintaining an industry-best noise level of 50 dBA and energy efficiency
Internal baffling plates and anodized aluminum diffuser panel ensure uniform air speed across the work area
All models include a powder-coated steel stand with adjustable leveling feet that raise the work surface to 31" (787 mm) above the floor
Take-up ducts along the edges minimize turbulence in the work area, providing a smooth exit for airflow
Built-in recessed illuminator provides diffused lighting without interfering with laminar flow
Interior surfaces, including the side panels and work surface, are 304-stainless steel; as an option, components can be electropolished to remove subsurface contaminants for an ultra-clean finish
Exterior surfaces feature a chip-resistant, powder-coated finish

Terra’s filter fan unit motors are rated for 5 years of continuous, 24/7 operation, if the HEPA filters are consistently replaced. To accurately monitor your HEPA filter’s saturation levels, purchase Terra’s audible and visual filter replacement alarm system.
Horizontal Laminar Flow Station Airflow Diagram
Multi-speed filter/blower modules provide a continuous wash of HEPA-filtered air for process protection. Internal baffling plates and diffuser panel ensures uniform air speed across work area; make-up air return slots minimize edge turbulence and extend filter life.
Air Return Ducts
For enhanced air-stream control, the flow station features return ducts along the edges of the hood opening. These ducts reduce backwash caused by placing objects near the work surface edge, a common source of turbulence inside a clean bench.
Simple User Interface
Operator controls include the ON/OFF switches, blower speed controls, and a Minihelic™ backpressure gauge for monitoring the load on the HEPA filter. When the backpressure roughly doubles from the initial readings, the filter needs replacing.
GFCI Duplex Outlet for Operational Convenience
A GFCI power receptacle is installed on the right-hand side of the hood interior for operational convenience. GFCI outlets help prevent electric shock and damage to your electrical devices. Alternate mounting locations can be specified at time of order.
HEPA Filter Access Panels
For horizontal laminar flow hoods, the rear vent panel can be easily removed to access the HEPA filters.
Status Indicator Light
The Terra Universal logo incorporates an LED light that functions as a status indicator. The TUI logo will flash when the unit is connected to power, but the blower is switched off. A solid glow indicates the station is fully operational.
Clean and Durable Powder Coat Finish
Terra’s signature white powder coat finish provides a high quality, durable barrier to protect against corrosion, plus a clean and attractive aesthetic. The advanced heat-fused formulation exceeds ASTM and ISO paint standards to resist chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing.
Exposure to loud noises can lower the ability to focus on work and listen selectively, which may also lead to safety issues. Typical AC units can be annoyingly loud, measuring in the range of 70 dB (comparable to a vacuum cleaner). Terra’s WhisperFlow design produces far lower noise levels for a quiet environment comparable to a library. At 90 ft/min output, units measure under 50 dB from only 1 ft away (roughly 75% quieter than 70dB).
