Equipment for Clean Room
Cleanroom equipment is specialized to minimize contamination and maintain strict environmental control, adhering to ISO standards (e.g., ISO 1-9) or U.S. Federal Standard 209E. Below is a concise overview of key equipment categories and examples, tailored to controlled environments like those in pharmaceuticals, electronics, and biotechnology.
Key Cleanroom Equipment Categories
1. Air Quality Control Systems
-
HEPA/ULPA Filters: Remove particles as small as 0.3µm (HEPA) or 0.12µm (ULPA) to maintain air purity. Essential for ISO 1-8 cleanrooms.
-
Fan Filter Units (FFUs): Deliver filtered laminar airflow to create clean zones.
-
Air Showers: Use high-velocity HEPA-filtered air to remove particles from personnel or equipment before entering.
-
Pass-Through Chambers: Allow transfer of materials without compromising air quality, some with HEPA filtration or fire-rated designs.
2. Cleanroom Furniture
- Gowning Benches: Stainless steel benches for donning cleanroom garments, often demarcating "clean" and "dirty" zones.
- Storage Cabinets and Dispensers: Non-porous (e.g., stainless steel or polymer) to store gloves, booties, and supplies without particle shedding.
-
Workstations and Laminar Flow Benches: Provide localized clean air for tasks like assembly or inspection.
-
Carts and Shelving: Stainless steel with locking casters for mobility and contamination-free transport.
3. Cleaning and Disinfection Equipment
- Tacky Mats/Sticky Mats: Capture dirt from shoes or wheels at entry points.
- Cleanroom Wipes: Lint-free polyester or foam wipes for surface cleaning, some sterile for ISO 5 or stricter environments.
- Tacky Rollers:Remove particles from flat or textured surfaces like walls and floors.
4. Monitoring and Testing Equipment
- Particle Counters: Measure airborne particle concentration to ensure compliance with ISO standards.
- Anemometers: Monitor air velocity and HVAC efficacy.
- Magnehelic Gauges: Track differential air pressure (analog or digital) to maintain positive/negative pressure.
5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Apparel
- Bunny Suits/Coveralls: Full-body suits to prevent particle shedding from personnel.
- Gloves, Shoe Covers, and Hairnets: Sterile or non-sterile, designed to minimize contamination.
- Face Masks and Hoods: Protect against microbial contamination in critical environments.
6. Specialized Equipment
- Fume Hoods: Exhaust chemical fumes for safe handling in chemical-intensive cleanrooms.
- Ionizers: Neutralize static charges to prevent particle attraction, critical for electronics.
- Desiccators: Store moisture-sensitive components in low-humidity environments.
- Hands-Free Sinks: Use foot levers or sensors to avoid contamination during handwashing.
Key Considerations
- Material: Equipment must be non-porous (e.g., stainless steel, polycarbonate) to prevent particle accumulation.
- ISO Compliance: Match equipment to cleanroom class (e.g., ISO 5 for sterile compounding, ISO 8 for less stringent needs).
- Modularity: Modular furniture and systems allow easy reconfiguration or expansion.
- Industry Applications: Used in semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing.
