To make your cleanroom function precisely, a wide array of clean room equipment options are available. Our products are of the highest grade materials and are designed to minimize particulate contamination. Factory direct cleanroom equipment includes Airshowers, Pass-Thrus, Laminar Flow Work Stations, Fume Hoods, Clean Room Light Fixtures, HEPA Filters, Replacement HEPA Filters, Ionizing equipment, and Soft Wall enclosures.
A: Cleanroom laminar flow benches blow HEPA filters air from either above or from back of bench to create a clean space. A cleanroom fume hood are for chemical users . They exhausts air and fumes out of the hood to the building exhaust system.
A: A cleanroom air shower is a small room where workers are blown off with HEPA filtered air to clean particles of them before they enter the cleanroom. The air shower is typically located in the gown room so workers can put on their cleanroom garments before entering the air shower.
A: Air showers can be as small as 4 ft. x 4 ft. and as large as 6 ft x20 ft. The smaller sizes are designed for 1 occupant and the large sizes for as many as 8 occupants.
A: A cleanroom pass thru is a special chamber built into the cleanroom wall that allows you to pass material into or out of the cleanroom without entering the cleanroom. It has interlocked doors so only one door can be opened at a time to reduce the amount of particles that enter the cleanroom.
A: For higher class (ISO-5, class 100, ISO-6, class 1000) cleanroom it is not uncommon to have HEPA fan filter unit on the pass thru if it opens from class 100 or 1000 space directly to outside the cleanroom. An alternative to adding the HEPA fan filter unit to the pass thru is to have the pass thru open from class 100 or 1000 space to the ISO-7 or ISO-8 gown room. Either method will prevent contaminants from entering the class 100 or class 1000 space.
A: Cleanroom conveyors area typically use to move product from inside the cleanroom to outside the cleanroom. These openings can allow particulates to enter the cleanroom and reduce the cleanrooms positive pressure. Some people put strip curtains on the conveyor opening to block particulates. Other people use automated roll up doors on the conveyor opening so it is only open when the product passes thru the opening. A more effective option is have the conveyor run thru a material transfer room with HEPA filtration so the cleanroom opening is not to outside the cleanroom.
A: Cleanroom motorized roll up doors are most commonly used for larger sized cleanroom doors such as those used for bringing in large pieces of equipment or material. Advantages of motorized roll up doors is they can be very large (ex. 15’ wide by 15’ high) and they can be opened and closed quickly.
A: Motorized sliding doors can be equipped with sensors so they open automatically when workers approach. This is very useful when are carrying material, pushing a cart, or don’t want to touch anything with their hands. Motorized sliding doors also open and close very quickly reducing the amount of particles that can enter the cleanroom.
A: Hands free sinks (typically foot lever or infrared sensor) turn on and off the water without use of hands. This allows workers who are entering the cleanroom to wash their hands and have the water turnoff without having to touch the faucet controls with their clean hands.
A: Stainless steel cleanroom benches are typically put in the gowning room so workers can sit down while they put on their cleanroom booties. Stainless steel does not particulate, is very durable and easy to clean so it is a popular choice for cleanroom furniture.
A: Good cleanroom practice is to never open the both doors of the gown room as it will expose the cleanroom to the outside and let particulates enter the cleanroom. Door interlocks use magnetic locks and are programmed so if one door is open the other door is locked shut preventing both doors from being open at the same time.
A: A cleanroom equipment mezzanine is a platform on top of the cleanroom that can be used for material storage, offices, or other purposes. A common application on higher class tight temperature and humidity controlled cleanrooms is to put air handlers, humidifiers and dehumidifier on the cleanroom mezzanine.
A: Cleanroom Magnehelic gauges are available with analog and digital readouts. The advantage of analog cleanroom Magnehelic gauges do not require electric power. Digital Magnehelic gauges require electric power and are used when cleanroom user want a digital readout or they want an electrical signal output from the Magnehelic gauge for a separate control system or monitoring system.
A: Cleanroom UV lamps are typically placed in cleanroom hoods to kill an germs in the hood. They are typically on timers so they only operate when no humans are in the room.
A: Cleanroom ionizer systems are used to reduce the amount of static inside the cleanroom. The friction of high velocity air passing thru HEPA filters in cleanrooms causes the static in the cleanroom that can cause contamination problems. Cleanroom ionizer systems put out the reverse polarity ions of the ions created by the HEPA filters – effectively cancelling them.
