Cleanrooms are vital for most manufacturing and scientific institutions and provide an environmentally controlled space. Anywhere small particles can negatively impact the manufacturing process, you’re likely to find one of these rooms. At Western Environmental Corporation, we design, build, and certify several types of cleanrooms, with the ones we recommend for clients adhering to their ISO classification standards and other criteria. Here, we explore how different kinds of cleanrooms vary.

A cleanroom is an environment that must maintain a specific concentration and size of airborne particles per cubic meter. To achieve and maintain a specific cleanliness classification, the room is supplied with a continuous supply of HEPA filtered air.

If you know you need a controlled space to operate your business, a cleanroom is designed to help you achieve a completely clean environment to work, while managing environmental factors like temperature, humidity, static, and pressure. Whether you’re manufacturing, developing, inventing, testing, or packaging, various cleanroom types will offer you different features. Some might be better suited for certain cleanroom classifications or offer special features or more compatibility with your unique application. Let’s take a look at three common types of cleanrooms: HardWall, SoftWall, RigidWall cleanrooms.

Cleanrooms are manufacturing spaces that must be maintained to a vigorous sanitation standard. There are many industries beholden to cleanroom guidelines: food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and even tech.

A cleanroom is a specially designed and configured room that has been constructed to eliminate dust particulates and atmospheric contaminants. They are commonly used for scientific research, pharmaceutical production, and other industries that produce products that can be damaged by unsanitary or polluted conditions.

Possible cross-contamination issues should be eliminated at the early stage of the project. The project sponsor should ensure that all relevant personnel from the production, quality control, logistics, and maintenance departments, as well as engineering, are involved in the conceptual stages of a design.

When designing or building a pharmaceutical clean room, every single component, piece of equipment, environmental control, surface, process and safety measure must be thoughtfully engineered — or you’ll risk failing to meet EU GMP or GMP requirements.

In order to protect consumers, United States pharmaceuticals are one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country. The FDA creates a number of standards and tests for Pharma companies to comply with in order to create new drugs and manufacture current ones to reduce side effects and ultimately mitigate the risks to their customers. And creating a highly controlled, uncontaminated manufacturing and packaging environments is a high priority. Pharmaceutical cleanrooms are specially designed to produce this environment.

First, you must determine if a clean room is necessary. Cleanrooms are designed to maintain extremely low levels of particulates. These particulates can cause damage to sensitive items such computer components, Semiconductor fabrications, solar panels, batteries, and other sensitive products. They can come in many sizes and can even encompass entire manufacturing facilities depending upon the products being manufactured there. Contaminants, such as dust, and other airborne organisms can cause irreparable damage to these products, and cleanrooms are designed to defend against such contaminants. They are built specifically to manage and maintain a specific level of particulates that would not harm these products and typically have a cleanliness level quantified by the number of particles per cubic meter.

Designing a cleanroom is a meticulous and precise process that demands careful planning and attention to detail. The goal is to create an environment that meets specific purity standards essential for various industries, such as pharmaceuticals and aerospace.
