AFMS that offer service and validation of Fan Filter Units (FFU) in accordance with industry standards and manufacturers' requirements. These standards and guidelines play a crucial role in ensuring a sterile environment and protection of products.
Fan Filter Units (FFUs) are critical components in cleanroom environments, laboratories, and other spaces where maintaining a controlled and clean air environment is essential. Servicing FFUs is crucial to ensure the integrity of the clean environment and the proper functioning of the units.
AFMS offers the following services for Fan Filter Units:
Services for Fan Filter Units
Filter Replacement:
Like with AHUs, regular filter replacement is crucial for FFUs. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) or Ultra-Low Penetration Air (ULPA) filters are commonly used in FFUs to remove particles from the air. Filter replacement ensures that the FFU continues to effectively maintain clean air. Primary and secondary filters are also inspected and replaced as and when necessary.
Gasket Seal Inspection:
FFUs need to maintain a tight seal to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the filters. During service, technicians should inspect the seals to ensure they are intact and functioning properly.
Fan Inspection:
The fan in an FFU is responsible for moving air through the filters. Regular inspection of the fan, including the blades and motor, is important to ensure proper operation. Lubrication and belt tension (if applicable) should also be checked.
Housing and Interior Cleaning:
The interior of the FFU housing should be cleaned to remove any accumulated dust or particles. This helps maintain the cleanliness of the controlled environment and prevents contaminants from being introduced into the space.
Airflow Verification:
Technicians should measure and verify the airflow from the FFU to ensure that it meets the required specifications. This can involve checking airflow velocity and adjusting settings if necessary.
