BRIEF PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Reverse Laminar Air Flow (RLAF) is a specialized air handling system used in the pharmaceutical industry to maintain a controlled and contaminant-free environment. By directing airflow from a contaminated area towards a clean area, RLAF prevents the introduction of contaminants into critical zones, ensuring the safety and quality of pharmaceutical products. Reverse Laminar Air Flow (RLAF), or Reverse Laminar Flow (RLAF), is a specialized air handling system used in pharmaceutical and clean room environments. It is designed to maintain a controlled environment by preventing the contamination of sensitive products, equipment, or processes.
Unlike traditional laminar airflow systems, where the air flows from a clean area toward a contaminated area, RLAF operates in the opposite direction. The air flows from a contaminated area towards a clean area, minimizing the risk of contaminant introduction
The working principle of Reverse Laminar Air Flow (RLAF) involves the controlled direction of airflow from a contaminated area towards a clean area, ensuring that contaminants are contained and prevented from reaching critical zones. Here’s a breakdown of the working principle:
- Airflow Direction: In RLAF, the airflow is reversed compared to traditional laminar flow systems. Instead of flowing from a clean area toward a contaminated area, the air is directed from a contaminated area toward a clean area.
- Contaminated Area: The contaminated area refers to the region where potentially harmful substances, particles, or processes are present. This can include areas with active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) handling, equipment cleaning, or other processes that generate contaminants.
- Clean Area: The clean area is the designated zone where sensitive pharmaceutical products, equipment, or processes requiring a controlled environment are located. It could be an aseptic filling line, sterile compounding area, or any other critical zone.
- Airflow Pattern: RLAF creates a controlled airflow pattern that effectively prevents contaminants from entering the clean area. The airflow is typically generated by ventilation systems, air handlers, and HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters.
- Containment and Exhaust: The RLAF system ensures that the contaminated air is contained within the contaminated area and exhausts safely. This prevents the spread of contaminants to the clean area and maintains the required cleanliness levels.
- Air Filtration: RLAF systems incorporate HEPA filters that effectively capture and remove airborne particles and microorganisms. These filters have high efficiency in removing particulate matter, typically with an efficiency of 99.97% for particles as small as 0.3 micrometers.
- Validation and Monitoring: Regular validation and monitoring of the RLAF system are crucial to ensuring its effectiveness. Airflow velocity measurements, particle counts, and microbial sampling are performed to verify that the system is operating within specified parameters and meeting regulatory standards.
- The basic construction of the machine consists of :
- Standard stainless steel 304 with matt finish
- Non metallic contact parts, any material with food grade quality having no potential impact on the products.
Body:
The body of the RLAF consists of the outer casing and the inner chamber.
UV Light
UV light are designed inside RLAF for disinfection of material.
Fan
It sucks the air and blows it through HEPA filter. The clean air will go into the chamber to sterilize the objects
Filters
Filters are used to remove the airborne particles
Differential pressure gauge
To check the differential pressure across HEPA filters
Blower and fan
Clean air enters the inner space of RLAF, dilutes and filters the air inside.
Electrical chamber and mechanical chamber:
All mechanical components such as gears, motors, as well as electrical components such as wiring, switches, and MCBs, are installed in this segment.
