Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety

These concentrations of materials are predominantly removed on the “first pass” of airflow through the chamber resulting in high performance containment.

The plenum and the HEPA filter are jacketed by negative pressure. Should a leak occur in the filter gasket or the plenum, the contaminated air is recaptured and refiltered.

The XPert Filtered Balance System and XPert Filtered Balance Station include a true bag-in/bag-out HEPA filter disposal system to protect the worker from contact with hazardous powders and particulates. User’s of both products are encouraged to routinely check airflow with the use of the airflow monitor.
