Maximum safety in a compact design
The SafeFAST Compact is based on the tried-and-tested airflow principle of Class II workbenches:
- 70 % of the air is recirculated through an H14 HEPA main filter
- 30 % of the air is exhausted from the unit via an H14 HEPA exhaust filter
This airflow configuration ensures comprehensive protection for personnel, products and the environment in accordance with the requirements of EN 12469:2000.
