In many industries, production needs to take place in a low-particle cleanroom environment. But what’s the best way of creating this environment?

Clean room technology plays a vital role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, electronics, and aerospace, where the control of contamination is crucial. Clean rooms are controlled environments designed to minimize the presence of airborne particles, microorganisms, and other contaminants that could impact the quality of products or processes. Maintaining a clean room environment is essential to ensure the integrity, safety, and reliability of the products being manufactured.

What is a cleanroom and why should any of us care about applying such technologies for food processing and/or packaging? What are the benefits of a cleanroom?

The high demand for cleanrooms across worldwide industries culminates a pressing need for avant-garde growth, reconfiguration, and pioneering innovations. Most unambiguously, the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry has a compelling demand for the enhancement of cleanroom technology. At their core, cleanrooms are ideal means for good manufacturing practices that prevent contamination during high-standard research and production procedures.

How clean can a room possibly be? Well, that is exactly where the role of cleanroom technology comes in. Modular cleanroom technology is used in a variety of industries where contamination control is critical to the safety and efficacy of products and processes. This ensures controlling contamination to maintain the dust, airborne organisms, aerosol, or vaporized particle levels on a per-cubic-meter-molecule measure.

A clean area is a “specified area in which the concentration of airborne particles is regulated and classified, and which has been designed and is being operated appropriately for regulating the introduction, formation and deposition of particles in the area.” (ISO 1464 41-1)

Cleanroom equipment is expensive, but that’s because it’s high functioning, specialized equipment for an extremely important and sensitive job: maintaining your cleanroom’s integrity and required classification standards. But like all equipment, it breaks down, wears out, and slows down with time. So how do you know when to replace it?

For a little over a century, emphasis on performing industrial and medical work in germ and contaminant free environments has risen dramatically following advances in our understanding of these contaminants’ effects. Additionally, as improvements in the sophistication and delicacy of components used in computers and other complex products progresses, the need to keep them contaminant free grows. As such, the development of cleanrooms has been as important to scientific research as it has been to the manufacturing of technology resulting from this research.

In the high technological industries such as electronics, optical and biological industries, the newly developed commodities are manufactured with precise fabrication as a basic process.
