What Is a Personnel Air Shower?
A personnel air shower is specifically designed for individuals entry only. It removes surface contaminants from individuals clothes using high-speed, HEPA-filtered air jets.
What Is a Cargo Air Shower?
A cargo air shower, also known as a marerial air shower, is built to accommodate wheeled items like trolleys, carts, and equipment, in addition to personnel. The core difference is its floorless or ramp-style design, which enables smooth entry and exit for heavy or bulky materials.
Unlike personnel-only air showers, cargo air showers are multi-functional and offer greater access flexibility.

When to Use Which Type
Personnel air shower if your cleanroom only requires people to pass through, and there’s no need to move trolleys or materials via the same entrance.
Cargo air shower if your operation involves rolling equipment, materials, or packaging, especially when staff and carts need to pass through the same entry point.
This makes cargo air showers more versatile, especially in high-throughput or manufacturing environments.
