In the construction of dust-free workshops, the choice of air showers is of crucial importance as it directly affects the cleanliness and overall operational efficiency of the workshop. Nowadays, sliding door air showers and conventional air showers on the market each have their own characteristics. As Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., we will conduct an in-depth analysis of the differences between the two to help you make a precise choice for your dust-free workshop.

Conventional air showers usually adopt a relatively simple door structure, with common ones being manual or automatic hinged doors. On the other hand, sliding door air showers feature a sliding door design. This design gives sliding door air showers an advantage in terms of space utilization. Especially at the entrances of some dust-free workshops with limited space, when the sliding door opens, it won't occupy too much external space, avoiding passage congestion caused by the opening and closing of the door and providing a more convenient passage for the entry and exit of personnel and materials. Moreover, the sealing performance of the sliding door is relatively better, which can effectively reduce the leakage of outside air and further ensure the clean environment inside the dust-free workshop.

In terms of airflow circulation, conventional air showers generally adopt basic methods such as blowing air from the top and recycling it from the side or blowing air from the side and recycling it from the top. The fan blows the clean air filtered by the high-efficiency filter onto the surfaces of personnel or materials, and after taking away dust particles, the air is recycled back to the fan for re-filtration. Sliding door air showers have been optimized on this basis. Some advanced sliding door air showers adopt multi-angle and multi-level air jetting technologies, which can cover the objects to be blown and showered more comprehensively and evenly, ensuring that dust particles are completely removed. For example, some sliding door air showers have air outlets set on both side walls and the top simultaneously, forming a three-dimensional air blowing effect, which significantly improves the air shower effect and thus provides a higher standard of cleanliness guarantee for the dust-free workshop.

From the perspective of operational convenience, the hinged doors of conventional air showers may experience problems such as door deformation and poor closing when opened and closed frequently, which will affect the air shower effect and the sealing of the workshop. In contrast, the electric sliding doors of sliding door air showers operate more smoothly. They are usually equipped with intelligent sensing devices, which can automatically open when people approach and automatically close when people leave, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of use. In terms of maintenance costs, due to the relatively complex structure of sliding door air showers, the costs of repairing and replacing parts may be slightly higher than those of conventional air showers. However, considering their better performance and longer service life, from the perspective of long-term comprehensive costs, sliding door air showers still have a relatively high cost-performance ratio in some dust-free workshops with high cleanliness requirements and frequent use.

For some small dust-free workshops with low requirements for space and relatively low cleanliness levels, conventional air showers may be able to meet the basic air shower needs, and their lower costs also have a certain appeal. However, in large, high-precision manufacturing dust-free workshops, such as electronic chip production workshops and biomedical research and development laboratories, sliding door air showers have become the first choice due to their excellent performance. For example, in the process of chip manufacturing, tiny dust particles can cause chip short circuits or performance defects. Sliding door air showers can provide more efficient dust removal effects and a more stable clean environment, ensuring the yield and quality stability of chip production.

In conclusion, both sliding door air showers and conventional air showers have their own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing an air shower for a dust-free workshop, enterprises need to comprehensively consider various factors such as the workshop's spatial layout, cleanliness requirements, budget, and frequency of use.
