Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a modular containment assembly of novel component parts which by virtue of its inherent versatility is straightforward and inexpensive to assemble whilst providing improved performance and cleanliness thereby minimising the potential for product contamination. More particularly, the component parts are an operator booth and a modular structure comprising a plurality of unitary frameworks between which (in use) is induced an airflow. <IMAGE>
