Overview
PBSC specialises in high-quality cleanroom solutions, including the Fogging Shower, designed for decontamination of personnel entering or exiting a controlled environment. These systems are critical to maintain strict contamination control.
PBSC’s Ultrasonic Fogging Shower also known as a Fog Shower, Mist Shower, Ultrasonic Shower, Personnel Shower, Decontamination Shower, Misting Shower, Personnel Decontamination, Chemical Shower, and a Decon Shower, provides encapsulation or removal of powder from an operative’s suit and is assessed by SafeBridge Consultants Inc.
The PBSC fogging shower – chemical shower cycle uses 5 to 10-micron water droplets to encapsulate API particles with minimal wetting through the operator’s PPE suit.
Reductions in surface concentrations can be up to 800 times less than the starting contamination levels. Airborne particles around the operative and during de-gowning are also significantly reduced.
The decontamination fogging shower is supplied with:
- A factory-tested PLC
- Controls
- Utility control panel
The control cabinets can be located above or next to the shower with a prewired cable for easy site electrical installation.
All the parts on the chemical shower are supplied on plugs to make the replacement of spare parts quick and easy, so in the unlikely event of component failure, downtime is minimized. Using PBSC standard components to your specific requirements and specifications.
The system is available with a range of PLCs, with standard options of a Siemens LOGO PLC (with the option of a remote ‘TDE’ PLC screen if required) or a Rockwell (Allen-Bradley) MLX1100 PLC with PanelView 800 HMI 4” colour touchscreen.
The PLC comes with a touch screen in the shower (or on the PLC cabinet) to show the shower status, alarms can be seen and cleared from the screen, and the screen allows various cycle recipes to be stored and accessed by the Supervisor Level password.
