The Problem: Dust

Hard drives are sealed because even a microscopic speck of dust can ruin the surfaces that hold the data. When a physically damaged drive has to be opened to recover its data, it needs a dust-free environment.

Even microscopic dust can ruin the surfaces that hold the data

Replacing a read/write head, platters or a spindle motor requires a dust-free environment

A drive may have to be opened not only in the laboratory but also at a crime scene or a customer's site

The Solution: Dust-Free Repair with CRB

CRB is a transparent cabin with filtered air flowing through it at all times. While the specialist works inside, fans push air through a HEPA 14 filter, so clean air keeps flowing across the work area.

Continuous laminar airflow keeps the workspace free of dust and particles down to the 0.5-micron level

Positive pressure inside the cabin stops dirty outside air from leaking in

The modular CRB-L for the laboratory, and the CRB-P for the field, which fits in a car trunk and needs no installation

Key Features

Dust-Free Repair

Replacing the head, platters or spindle motor of an HDD requires a dust-free environment. Continuous laminar airflow keeps the workspace free of dust and particles down to the 0.5-micron level.

Positive Pressure, HEPA 14

Positive pressure inside the box passes the air through a HEPA 14 filter. CRB-L uses 3 special fans and 3 compact parts, CRB-P uses 2 fans and 3 parts, placed to steer the airflow and minimize noise.

Comfortable to Work In

White, soft light lets specialists work for long periods without eye strain. Aluminum and bacteria-free plexiglass are used throughout the cabin.
