New Star Lighting is known for its cleanroom solutions. In areas where sterility is vital, such as laboratories, high-tech manufacturing facilities, and food processing spaces, specialized lighting is essential. New Star’s adaptable cleanroom luminaires provide flexibility, operating efficiently in rooms with both laminar and turbulent airflow patterns.
The most recently developed innovation on the market is New Star’s AERflo™ Teardrop Series, an ideal solution for these environments where cleanliness is critical.
CLEANROOM LIGHTING: WHY IT MATTERS
Cleanroom environments have stringent requirements to maintain sterility and hygiene. Ensuring particle (dust, micro-organisms, chemical droplets, etc.) contamination and airflow management is a top priority in these atmospheres. Since particles are some of the tiniest forms of matter this task can be challenging. This is where the role of specialized lighting comes into play.
AERFLO™ TEARDROP SERIES: DESIGNED FOR CLEANROOM EXCELLENCE
With a sleek, aerodynamic shape, the AERflo™ Teardrop Series is designed to optimize unidirectional airflow and facilitate laminar flow. Laminar airflow is important because it assists in maintaining sterility and preventing contamination, whereas turbulence loses control of unwanted particles. AERflo™ Teardrop fixtures feature some key design elements that contribute to the success of a cleanroom: smooth surfaces for easy sanitation, minimal maintenance, and robust performance.
KEY FEATURES OF THE AERFLO™ TEARDROP SERIES
LED Options: Available in four color temperatures (3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K) with an optional amber LED, offering high CRI (80+), long lifespan (50,000 hours), and energy efficiency.
Aerodynamic Design: Minimizes turbulence under unidirectional airflow for optimal cleanroom performance.
Finish and Durability: Antimicrobial powder coat finish for enhanced hygiene and protection.
Certifications: Meets ISO3/Class 1 Cleanroom standards, NSF2 for non-food zones, and IP53 for wet locations.
BENEFITS OF AERFLO™ TEARDROP SERIES FOR CLEANROOM APPLICATIONS
Sterility Maintenance: Enhances laminar airflow, preventing particle accumulation and ensuring cleanroom integrity.
Energy Efficiency: Long-lasting LED technology reduces energy costs and operational expenses.
Low Maintenance: Easy-to-clean design with sealed gaskets preventing air contamination.
VERSATILITY ACROSS APPLICATIONS
AERflo™ Teardrop solutions are not only great for classic cleanrooms, but also vivariums, containment areas, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and more. The technology can be implemented to improve operational efficiency and cleanliness with a variety of settings.
WHY CHOOSE AERFLO™ TEARDROP SERIES?
The AERflo™ Teardrop Series is American-made, supporting the domestic economy, increasing job market opportunities, and supporting local businesses. With a robust design, industry-leading certifications, energy efficient technology, and unparalleled performance, you can trust these solutions from New Star Lighting to conquer the challenge of cleaning.
