SLEE VLF/M 500-1000 HEPA Laminar Flow Hood Benchtop Clean Room 230V 50Hz

SLEE VLF/M 500-1000 HEPA Laminar Flow Hood Benchtop Clean Room 230V 50Hz

The SLEE VLF/M 500-1000 is a benchtop-format downdraft HEPA laminar flow hood manufactured by SLEE Technik GmbH of Mainz, Germany. It draws ambient air through a HEPA filter to produce a particle-free, vertically downward laminar airflow over the work surface, creating a clean-room-class environment at the bench level. The unit is built on a freestanding blue steel support frame with a clear acrylic front work table, and includes an ionizer probe and a fluorescent work lamp. Power is 230V AC, 50Hz — European/international standard.

Applications

Benchtop laminar flow hoods like the SLEE VLF/M 500-1000 are standard equipment in clean room environments where a localized particle-free work zone is needed without dedicating an entire room to clean-room classification. They are commonly used in semiconductor wafer handling, PCB assembly, optical component inspection, pharmaceutical compounding, and precision electronics manufacturing — anywhere where ISO Class 5 (Class 100) or better conditions are needed at the point of work. The included ionizer probe helps neutralize static charge on sensitive components, making this type of unit particularly well-suited to work with ESD-sensitive parts. SLEE Technik has supplied laminar flow and clean-room equipment to European semiconductor and optics industries since the 1980s and 1990s; units like this one remain in active service in university labs, R&D facilities, and contract electronics shops where a compact, freestanding clean-air bench is preferred over a full-width laminar flow cabinet.
