Cleanrooms
for plastics processing
Cleanrooms for plastics processing are governed by various normative constraints, specific to each sector of activity. Plastics processing requires a highly advanced level of control, with precise design and sizing tailored to the presses.
Quality and productivity
ZACs dedicated to plastics processing require a high level of control, often involving ISO7 and ISO8 classes, where particulate concentrations for sizes between 0.5 µm and 5 µm are monitored.
For plastics manufacturers, a critical parameter involves determining the optimal placement of presses, whether internal or external, based on the building's configuration and the specific process requirements. Plastics processing inherently necessitates a specialized layout to optimize production volumes.
This layout will determine the dimensions and volume of the cleanroom, and consequently, the operating costs and energy consumption. For example: for an ISO8 cleanroom of 300 m² and 3 m in height, approximately 13,500 m3/h of air will be circulated and treated (the recommended air change rate for an ISO8 is 15 vol/h), compared to 27,000 m3/h for an ISO7 (with a recommended air change rate of 30 vol/h). The flow rate is therefore doubled between an ISO8 and an ISO7, highlighting the importance of accurately defining your actual needs and avoiding over-specifying your cleanroom.

Cleanrooms for plastics processing
Cleanrooms for plastics processing are subject to strict standards. The design of these cleanrooms must be adapted to the presses, with optimized placement. This arrangement influences the size and volume of the rooms, thereby affecting operating and energy costs. VÊPRES, a specialist in plastics processing constraints, offers tailored solutions.
