Modular cleanroom systems

When purchasing a cleanroom, which often represents a major investment, it is important to consider not only current requirements but also future developments

Modular cleanroom systems

A company is always on the move. Developments cannot always be accurately predicted and planned. Regulations change, new materials and production options come onto the market, a major customer drops out or a large order comes in unexpectedly. In the worst-case scenario, a pandemic throws everything out of kilter.

Companies that can react flexibly and quickly to changes will have an advantage.

Even when purchasing a cleanroomwhich often represents a major investment, it is important to keep an eye not only on current requirements, but also on future developments.

What happens if the Cleanroom needs to be changed? Does production have to be stopped for a conversion? Will the air conditioning technology continue to function in the event of an extension? Can a new airlock be integrated into the old room? Can the walls be opened up again to replace large machines? Can the room perhaps even be dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere?
These and similar questions should be asked when planning a cleanroom.
A modular cleanroom system already provides many answers here.

Modular cleanroom systems are based on a flexible modular design.
They are made up of various components (wall elements, ceiling elements, filters, airlocks, doors) that are precisely matched to each other. The size of the elements is fixed (e.g. modules 1.5 m wide), so that a grid is created that can be easily assembled and adapted to the spatial conditions.
The elements are simply connected to each other using aluminum profiles. Individual elements can be removed or converted without destruction if required.
For example, material pass-throughs can be fitted at a later date or openings for machine integration can be added.
The module interfaces make it easy to make changes and extensions to the room.
If the production requirements need to be adapted in terms of cleanliness, the modularity offers the option of retrofitting filter fan units in the modular ceiling elements.
As individual wall elements can be opened and closed again without impairing the function of the Cleanroom, a modular Cleanroom is a great advantage when installing machines .
