Flexible & Affordable Modular Cleanroom Systems

Since they are constructed of hard or soft panels with a hard ceiling, modular cleanroom systems are highly configurable. Soft panel cleanrooms have walls made from clear PVC and one small opening for entering and exiting the area. Hard panel systems consist of prefabricated panels that join to create a square or rectangular room. Hard-walled cleanrooms are fully enclosed and can be fitted with doors, windows, and transfer hatches, just like a permanent cleanroom.

Some of the advantages modular cleanroom systems provide over permanent clean rooms include:

Versatility: A modular cleanrooms can be readily assembled, disassembled, and relocated, often in just a few days or less
Easily reconfigurable: The layout of a modular cleanroom can be rearranged, expanded, retrofit, and/or upgraded.
Cost-effective: Modular cleanrooms are designed and manufactured offsite for a fraction of the cost of permanent construction.
Time Saving: Modular cleanroom systems can be installed onsite in a fraction of the time as permanent construction.
Reduced downtime: Modular cleanroom installation causes far less disruption to daily operations, allowing many users to keep some or all operations running without disruption.
Leasing: If you lease your space, the modular option allows you to uninstall the clean room you need and take it with you if your operation changes locations.
R.O.I.: Because it can be taken down, moved, and re-erected, a modular cleanroom is considered a piece of capital equipment and can be treated as such for taxation purposes.
Cleanliness: A modular cleanroom is the better option for cleanroom requirements above ISO 6 classification. The materials used in these systems do not shed like drywall or metal studs, reducing the level of contamination.

Three points about Modular clean rooms:

Built-in HVAC reduces costs

When you create a built-in cleanroom via traditional construction methods you have to find a way to create a closed HVAC system within the cleanroom in order to reduce the risk of outside contamination. This means most traditional cleanrooms have double-width walls which take up valuable space within your building. Modular systems are equipped with their own built-in HVAC units that regulate airflow with minimal impact.

Benefits of a cleanroom

Technology is getting smaller. The smaller the technology, the higher the risk of severe damage from particulates in the air. If you're building circuit boards you already know that one tiny piece of dust can be the death knell for your entire line of products. A clean room environment drastically reduces the risk of damage from particulate in the air.

Cleanrooms should be validated and cleaned regularly

Cleanrooms are a regulated space within any building. There are certain guidelines and qualifications that need to be met. Best practice for keeping your cleanroom in good working order is to keep it clean. A cleanroom environment is clean because outside airflow can't get inside. It can still have issues with its own inside air quality. Regularly changing your cleanroom air filters and ensuring the space is maintained will improve the effectiveness of the space overall. Additionally, take the time to get it validated frequently.
