ARES Air High-Efficiency Air Shower
Quote
The ARES Air High-Efficiency Air Shower is a personnel air shower engineered to remove particulates from clothing and skin before entry into cleanrooms, vivariums, and other controlled environments. Built around Active Airflow Technology, this HEPA-filtered air shower directs high-velocity jets at 25 m/s through 48 strategically positioned nozzles, creating a full-body decontamination cycle that targets dust, dander, allergens, and other airborne contaminants from every angle. Its triple-stage filtration system—comprising a dust filter, pre-filter, and H14 HEPA filter—captures particles as small as 0.3 μm, making it a reliable contamination control solution for facilities that demand strict air purity standards.
Designed for flexibility, the ARES Air personnel decontamination chamber is available in straight-through, angled, and T-passage configurations to accommodate virtually any facility layout. The unit ships either preassembled or as a flat-pack, simplifying installation in spaces with limited access. Stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability and easy cleaning, while removable floor panels and ceiling-mounted technician access points streamline routine filter replacement and maintenance. Facilities that rely on clean air and containment equipment—including biological safety cabinets and clean benches—can integrate the ARES Air as the first line of defense in their particle removal workflow.
The ARES Air air shower system is ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology research, electronics production, cannabis processing, and vivarium operations where allergen control and personnel decontamination are critical. Three emergency stop buttons and dual magnetic door interlocks provide built-in safety, while energy-efficient redundant fans deliver consistent airflow cycle after cycle. ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for Sychem, the manufacturer of the ARES Air, ensuring genuine products backed by full manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions – ARES Air High-Efficiency Air Shower
What is an air shower and how does it work?
An air shower is a self-contained chamber installed at the entrance to a cleanroom or controlled environment that uses high-velocity, HEPA-filtered air jets to dislodge and remove particulates from personnel before they enter the workspace. The ARES Air directs air at 25 m/s through 48 nozzles positioned to create an enveloping airflow pattern, while its triple-stage filtration system captures particles as small as 0.3 μm.
What applications is the ARES Air High-Efficiency Air Shower used for?
The ARES Air is designed for any facility that requires strict contamination control at personnel entry points. Common applications include pharmaceutical manufacturing cleanrooms, vivarium and animal research facilities where allergen control is essential, biotechnology production areas, cannabis processing rooms, and electronics manufacturing environments.
What is the difference between an air shower and a cleanroom pass-through?
An air shower is specifically designed for personnel decontamination—it removes particles from clothing and exposed skin using high-velocity HEPA-filtered jets before a person enters a controlled area. A pass-through, by contrast, is typically used to transfer materials between different classification zones without personnel entry. Facilities often use both solutions as part of a comprehensive clean air and containment strategy.
Does the ARES Air require special installation or facility modifications?
The ARES Air is available in preassembled or flat-pack configurations, which allows it to be installed in facilities with limited access points, narrow corridors, or retrofit situations. Straight-through, angled, and T-passage layouts provide flexibility to match existing traffic flows without major structural modifications.
How is the ARES Air maintained?
Routine maintenance includes replacing the three-stage filters (dust filter, pre-filter, and H14 HEPA filter) and inspecting the 48 air nozzles. The unit features removable floor panels and ceiling-mounted technician access panels, allowing service personnel to perform filter changes and inspections without disrupting adjacent cleanroom operations.
Is ARES Scientific an authorized distributor for the ARES Air?
Yes. ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for Sychem, the manufacturer of the ARES Air High-Efficiency Air Shower. Purchasing through ARES Scientific ensures you receive a genuine product with full manufacturer warranty and dedicated technical support.
