Fan Filter Unit (FFU) for Cleanroom Air Filtration

A Fan Filter Unit (FFU) is a self-contained clean air module that combines a fan, HEPA or ULPA filter and airflow control in a compact ceiling-mounted unit. It draws air through the filter and supplies clean, uniform airflow directly into the controlled area.

FFUs are widely used in modular cleanrooms, pharmaceutical facilities, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, laboratories and other contamination-controlled environments.

Flair provides multiple FFU configurations to meet different ceiling layouts, material requirements, maintenance methods and HVAC strategies.

Step 1 Preparation

  • Tools: double ladder, scaffold
  • Workers: at least 6 persons, two persons on the ceiling, two stands on the scaffold, the other two transfer FFU
  • Tips: all workers should pay attention to  their safety, especially the persons on the ceiling

Step 2 Install FFU

  • The Workers ①&② take the FFU from the carton, and deliver it to workers ③&④
  • Then workers ①&② fetch HEPA filters
  • The workers ③&④ convey FFU casing to workers ⑤&⑥ on the ceiling sideways

Step 3  Assembly FFU

  • Workers ⑤&⑥ lift the FFU casing simultaneously
  • Workers ①&② convey the HEPA filter to workers ③&④, and repeat until all FFU finish installation;
  • Workers ③&④ pave the HEPA filter on the T-grid ceiling on the level

Step4 Assembly FFU casing

  • Workers ⑤&⑥ place FFU casing on the HEPA filter;
  • Workers ③&④ move the supports platform to install another FFU, repeat steps 1-4

Step1  Take down the old HEPA filter

  • Workers ⑤&⑥ on the ceiling stand on FFU casing, Lift the FFUcasing
  • Workers ③&④ take down the old HEPA filter and deliver it to workers ①&② on the ground
  • Workers ①&② carry the old HEPA filters to pointed place and take the new HEPA filters back

Step 2 Replace HEPA Filter

  • Workers ③&④ catch the new HEPA filter from Workers ①&②, and place it to the T-Grid on level
  • The workers⑤&⑥ place the FFU casing on the new HEPA filter

Step 3 Inspect

  • Workers ⑤&⑥ check and inspect FFU

1.FFU Construction

FFU often consists of a pre-filter, a HEPA/ ULPA filter and the motorized fan, It pulls air through the filters for distribution to cleanrooms or enclosed work stations such as hoods,Which can be installed in the grid  ceiling grid.

FFUs are typically installed in two main configurations, the first is that the FFU draws air from a common plenum. One major advantage of a common plenum FFU system converts the ceiling plenum into a negative pressure space, thereby eliminating the risk of contaminants migrating from the ceiling plenum into the clean space below. Another is The negative pressure is created as the FFU draws surrounding air from the common returns as well as fresh outside air from an AHU.

2.FFU working process in cleanroom

The FFU can be directly ducted from an AHU or terminal device.

They are widely used in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical facilities, electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, food, and cosmetics production, supporting sterile processes, contamination control, and regulatory compliance. Modular and energy-efficient, FFUs allow flexible cleanroom layouts and targeted airflow, protecting sensitive products and equipment.

Yes. Many units include speed controllers or digital interfaces that allow users to adjust airflow based on cleanroom requirements.

  • If the project is cost-sensitive and simple, AC is sufficient.
    For long-term operation or energy-saving targets, EC is the better option.

Yes. High-quality FFUs are engineered to minimize noise, usually operating at 50–60 dB depending on airflow speed and design.

The number depends on:
  • Required ISO class level

  • Room size

  • Air changes per hour (ACH)

  • Ceiling coverage ratio

  • Cleanroom designers typically calculate these parameters during planning.

Yes,Of course .you can consult our technician freely .
