What is a cleanroom?

How it works?

Producing in complete safety is the fundamental principle of a cleanroom. It operates based on a demanding combination of processes, equipment, and technical and environmental parameters to control all sources of contamination, thereby protecting both product and operator from potential contamination.

Operation of a Cleanroom

Cleanroom Principles

The principle of the cleanroom is to prevent the entry and proliferation of external contaminants that could harm your operations. Its operation relies on a personnel airlock, a material airlock, and a cleanroom. A pressure cascade is maintained between each area, with higher pressure in the cleanroom. This method ensures the lowest possible level of airborne particles and limits particulate contamination. The higher the pressure within the cleanroom, the greater the purity of the ambient air.

The air in a cleanroom is processed by an air handling unit (AHU). It is then conveyed to the cleanroom through a duct network and distributed into the room via diffusers equipped with absolute filters. The air is then returned from the lower section, recirculated to the AHU for reprocessing and refiltration. This constitutes air recirculation. In certain sectors, where recirculation is prohibited, the AHU operates exclusively with fresh air.

How does a ZAC operate?

A cleanroom enables safe production by controlling contamination sources through a combination of processes, equipment, and technical and environmental parameters. Its principle is to prevent the entry and proliferation of external contaminants to protect both the product and the operator. It includes a personnel airlock, a material airlock, and a cleanroom, with a pressure cascade between each zone to maintain a low particle count.
