Q1: What is a weighing booth and why is it used?

 

A weighing booth is a localized clean air enclosure designed to protect both operators and materials during powder weighing and dispensing processes.

 

In pharmaceutical and laboratory environments, even small amounts of airborne dust can cause contamination, product loss, or health risks. A weighing booth creates a controlled airflow environment to prevent these issues.

 

Q2: What makes the M-DB Weighing Booth different?

 

The M-DB Weighing Booth is specifically designed for high-risk weighing operations in pharmaceutical production, microbiological labs, and research facilities.

 

It uses vertical unidirectional airflow combined with a negative pressure weighing booth design. Most of the clean air is recirculated to maintain efficiency, while a small portion is exhausted to prevent particle escape.

 

Q3: How does the airflow system work?

 

Approximately 85–90% of the air passes through an airflow equalization membrane, forming a stable vertical laminar flow over the work area.

The remaining 10–15% is discharged through the exhaust system.

 

This airflow pattern ensures:

 

  • Effective dust containment
  • Stable room pressure balance
  • Protection against cross-contamination

 

This is especially important in GMP weighing booth applications.

 

Q4: How does the M-DB Weighing Booth protect operators and products?

 

The M-DB system provides dual protection:

 

  • Operators are shielded from hazardous powders and particles
  • Products are protected from external contamination

 

As a Grade A weighing booth, it meets stringent cleanliness requirements using a multi-stage filtration system (G4 + F8 + HEPA H14 weighing booth filtration with 99.995% efficiency).

 

Q5: What materials and construction features ensure durability?

 

The booth is fully constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.

 

Its modular design—with detachable side panels—makes transport, installation, and future expansion much easier, especially in cleanroom environments.

 

Q6: Where is the M-DB Weighing Booth commonly used?

 

The M-DB Weighing Booth is widely used in:

 

  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Microbiological institutes
  • Scientific research laboratories

 

It is ideal for powder weighing, dispensing, and sampling operations where cleanliness and safety are critical.

 

Q7: Can qualification and validation services be provided?

 

Yes. Upon request, full qualification services—including DQ, FAT, IQ, OQ, and SAT—can be provided to support GMP compliance and regulatory audits.
