Do I need a cleanroom, or just a "cleaner" room?
The word cleanroom can immediately sound like something more complicated than it really is. Though most might picture a highly sophisticated enclosure with occupants dressed in full containment gowning when they hear the word "cleanroom", the term can actually take on a variety of meanings.
Even though PortaFab's cleanroom systems can be used to create highly-advanced critical environments, that type of application is typically a smaller percentage of the cleanroom market that we serve. The majority of our work involves the creation of modular environments that allow our end-customers to:
Contain processes
Enclose machinery or equipment
Adhere to regulations governing safety and quality
The above solutions allow our clients to enhance operational efficiency, increase product quality and improve throughput. Below are a few of the more common requirements for controlled environments and for more specialized cleanroom environments.
Process and Machine Enclosures
Modular wall systems are ideal for building enclosed environments to house machinery, specialized equipment and specific processes including:
PortaFab’s modular wall systems are available in a number of panel finishes including vinyl, painted steel, aluminum or a fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) finishes that provide environmental control from noise, temperature, humidity and particulates. They can also accommodate oversized roll-up or bi-parting doors to facilitate the movement of large equipment and materials in and out of the controlled environment.
Medical Device Packaging & Manufacturing
PortaFab’s controlled environments offer an ideal solution for medical device packaging, drug bottling, filling and similar applications within these markets.
Our cleanroom walls are available in a wide range of finishes including fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), epoxy painted aluminum and stainless steel. These durable walls and ceilings provide a smooth surface for cleaning and disinfection agents, while also featuring:
- Rigid construction to withstand damage due to personnel, equipment, and cleaning and disinfection agents
- Smooth surfaces that will not harbor dirt and other contaminates
- Automatic sliding doors to accommodate moving large equipment and materials in and out of the controlled environment.
Regulatory Protocols
Strict guidelines by the FDA ensure that medical equipment are fabricated, prepared and packaged in accordance to strict environmental regulations.
Modular building systems can also be used to construct sophisticated critical environments that maintain extremely tight tolerances, yet can be moved or relocated at any time with minimal plant disruption. End applications include:
- Drug Packaging, bottling and filling
- Medical Device Fabrication and Packaging
- Research Labs
- Sensitive Equipment & Supplies Storage
