AIR SHOWER MANUFACTURERS IN INDIA
What Is an Air Shower and Why Does Your Cleanroom Need One?
Imagine spending hundreds of thousands of rupees building and validating a cleanroom, only to have contamination walk in through the door every time a person enters or a trolley passes through. It sounds dramatic, but it happens, and it happens because the weakest point in any contamination control strategy is almost always the transition zone between the outside world and the controlled environment inside.
That is exactly what an air shower is designed to fix.
An air shower is a self-contained, enclosed passageway fitted with high-velocity, HEPA or ULPA-filtered air jets that blow off dust, particulate matter, and other surface contaminants from personnel, clothing, and materials before they enter a cleanroom or controlled environment. The result is a significant reduction in the particle load that would otherwise compromise your process, your product, and your compliance status.
At ACMAS Technologies, under our trusted manufacturing brand WEIBER, we design and manufacture air showers that are used by pharmaceutical companies, semiconductor fabs, biotechnology labs, aerospace facilities, and research institutions across India and internationally. As experienced air shower manufacturers and suppliers, we understand that contamination control is not a checkbox, it is a continuous operational discipline that your equipment needs to support without fail, shift after shift.
Our Range of Air Shower Systems
We manufacture air showers in three primary airflow configurations, each suited to different facility layouts and contamination control strategies:
- One-Side Flow Air Showers are designed for unidirectional traffic control, ensuring personnel enter and exit through designated sides while the air shower completes its decontamination cycle. These are 21 CFR compliant and widely used in pharmaceutical and biomedical environments.
- Two-Side Flow Air Showers allow activation in both directions, not just inward but outward, making them ideal for containment scenarios where hazardous substances inside the controlled environment must not be released into the surrounding area. Animal research laboratories and pharmaceutical containment units commonly rely on this configuration.
- Tower Flow Air Showers direct high-velocity filtered air from the roof of the shower unit downward, providing enhanced wash-down coverage for personnel. The interlocked, magnetically operated doors remain secured throughout the shower cycle, and the programmable pre-purge function allows the unit to self-clean before each use.
- Material Handling Air Showers extend this protection to equipment, trolleys, raw material containers, and large components that need to enter the cleanroom. Standard personnel-only air showers cannot accommodate this, our material handling air shower variants are purpose-built for it, with larger chamber dimensions, reinforced construction, and airflow designed to address the surfaces of equipment rather than just clothing.
How an Air Shower Works
The air inside the shower cubicle is continuously recirculated through a filter assembly comprising washable pre-filters and HEPA filters with 99.99% efficiency for particles as small as 0.3 microns. High-efficiency centrifugal blowers push this filtered air through adjustable nozzles positioned on the walls and ceiling, creating turbulent, multi-directional air streams at face velocities of 6,000 ft/min. These turbulent streams create a shearing effect that dislodges particulate matter from clothing and skin surfaces. The dislodged particles are swept back into the filter assembly and captured before the cycle ends and the exit door unlocks. The cubicle is maintained at a slight positive pressure to prevent external contaminants from entering while the unit is at rest.
Key Features of ACMAS Air Showers
Every Air Shower we manufacture is built with microprocessor-based programmable controls, interlocked and magnetically operated doors that prevent both doors opening simultaneously, an auto-reset function to prevent accidental lockouts, an administrator PIN for access control, HEPA filters with 99.99% filtration efficiency at 0.3 microns, washable pre-filters capable of removing up to 85% of particulate load, low noise operation below 60 dB, emergency override buttons on both sides, LED indicators for interlock and shower sequence status, and permanently lubricated direct-drive centrifugal motors for maintenance-free long-term operation.
Custom-Built Air Showers to Your Exact Technical Specifications
Our standard models, ACM-331 (1800×1500×2000mm), ACM-332 (1500×2000×2000mm), and ACM-333 (2000×2000×2000mm), cover the majority of requirements. However, we fully understand that facilities often have non-standard doorway dimensions, unusual traffic flow patterns, specific material specifications for regulatory compliance, or integration requirements with existing access control systems. Our engineering team will design and manufacture air showers to your exact technical specifications, custom chamber sizes, specific airflow configurations, particular construction materials including SS-304 and SS-316, and compliance with specific international standards including ISO 14644-1, FS 209-E, EN 1822 (H13), and IEC-61010-1.
This customisation capability is why procurement teams at pharmaceutical majors, semiconductor manufacturers, and defence research establishments consistently specify ACMAS when they cannot afford an off-the-shelf compromise.

Q1. What is an air shower used for in a cleanroom?
An air shower is a self-contained passageway that uses high-velocity HEPA-filtered air jets to remove dust, particulate matter, and surface contaminants from personnel, clothing, and materials before they enter a cleanroom or controlled environment, significantly reducing contamination risk.
Q2. What types of air showers does ACMAS manufacture?
ACMAS manufactures one-side flow, two-side flow, and tower flow air showers for personnel decontamination, as well as material handling air showers for equipment and trolleys entering cleanroom environments.
Q3. What is the difference between a one-side flow and two-side flow air shower?
A one-side flow air shower controls unidirectional traffic into a cleanroom, while a two-side flow air shower can be activated in both directions — useful for containment applications where hazardous substances inside the controlled environment must not be released outward.
Q4. What filtration standard do ACMAS air showers use?
ACMAS air showers use HEPA filters with 99.99% filtration efficiency for particles as small as 0.3 microns, backed by washable pre-filters that remove approximately 85% of the particulate load before it reaches the HEPA stage, extending filter life and maintaining efficiency.
Q5. Can ACMAS customize air showers to specific dimensions or technical requirements?
Yes. ACMAS designs and manufactures air showers to exact client specifications, including custom chamber dimensions, specific construction materials such as SS-304 or SS-316, particular airflow configurations, and compliance with international standards including ISO 14644-1, FS 209-E, and EN 1822 (H13).
Q6. Which industries use ACMAS air showers?
ACMAS air showers are used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, semiconductor and microelectronics fabrication, biotechnology and life sciences, aerospace, biomedical research, spray painting facilities, and high-precision manufacturing environments.
Q7. Does ACMAS export air showers outside India?
Yes. ACMAS exports air showers and material handling air showers to international clients across multiple countries, with all units meeting CE and ISO quality certifications and international cleanroom standards.
