Ins & Outs of Cleanroom Filters
Contamination control depends on a reliable filter system. A malfunctioning filter can introduce contaminants into a controlled environment. Filters need to remove impurities from the process stream but avoid transferring impurities that could wind up on a device’s or product’s surface. The filters themselves must be manufactured and packaged in a controlled environment.
Repairing or replacing inadequate filters can be costly. In particular, custom filters can be expensive and may take weeks or months to be delivered, so adequate planning is a must. Following good protocols will keep filters working right and minimize premature change-outs, with the associated expenses for parts and labor as well as disruption and potential contamination.
Preventive maintenance is obviously the first step to ensure that a cleanroom’s filters function properly, and that the amount of time and money spent on them is minimal.
The Right Laminar Flow Hoods
Laminar Flow Hoods are at times considered an effective alternative for cleanrooms, whereby the installation of cleanrooms is not possible not only in laboratory environments but also in the industrial environments. Laminar flow hoods are also installed within cleanrooms to ensure highly protective environments in sensitive work areas. You will be able to significantly minimize the level of airborne contaminants through the use of laminar flow hoods.
Anti-Static Curtains
Keep your sensitive cleanroom areas free from contaminants with our cleanroom curtains. Our Anti-static curtains will provide you with the additional protection that your cleanrooms need. We have been a leading supplier of cleanroom anti-static curtains to healthcare facilities and other institutions that work with contaminant sensitive projects, and we take great pride in bringing you an outstanding range of clean room curtain products.
Hardwall Modular Construction
There are two standard types of modular hardwall cleanrooms: recirculating and non-recirculating. Your product and process requirements will determine which type is best-suited to your company’s needs. Click here for information on common industry standards and cleanroom performance requirements.
We offers both recirculating and non-recirculating modular cleanrooms, and will help you decide which option is right for you.
Cleanroom Pass-Thru Cabinets
Pass-through cabinets, also called pass-through chambers and pass-through windows, allow for the transfer of parts and equipment into and out of a cleanroom. These specialized entry systems reduce the need for people to enter your cleanroom, and, thanks to lower traffic within the cleanroom, contamination is significantly reduced.
Pass Thru Cabinets help control contaminants entering the clean room during pick-up and delivery of products or supplies. Maintaining a clean environment, yield and productivity are increased as delivery personnel and contaminants remain outside the clean room.
Standard doors are 1/2” thick clear acrylic with T-handle mechanical interlock, full length piano hinge and are gasketed for positive seal. Doors 30” and wider are equipped with a structural integrity bar.
Cleanroom Fan Filter Units
Cleanroom fan filter units are self-contained devices that utilize HEPA or ULPA filters. We offer a full line of standard and custom fan filter units, with numerous options available to meet your specific cleanroom requirements.
