Anyone who has managed a traditional cleanroom build knows the headACHe: months of coordination, dust infiltrating other zones, and losing precious indoor square footage. If you need to add 30 m² of iso 7 space, the conventional route often means a 12 to 16-week disruption involving multiple contractors and complex permits. But for many of our clients, waiting three months simply isn't an option.
Introduction
This creates a gap in the market that Container cleanrooms are designed to fill. We take the controlled environment you need and build it entirely inside a standard shipping container shell. The concept shifts the burden of construction from your facility to our factory. A fully operational unit arrives at your site, sits on a simple pad, and starts running the same day. This method effectively cuts 90% of on-site work and lets you expand utilizing your outdoor yard space.
Reality of Traditional Builds
- 12-16 weeks before first batch
- Hidden costs from delays
- High risk of site contamination
- Permanently occupies indoor floor
- Heavy permitting workload
The Engineer's Take: "Treat your cleanroom like a piece of equipment, not a building project." This is the philosophy behind Deiiang™ Container cleanrooms, developed by our specialist Jason.peng to solve the 'speed vs. quality' dilemma in manufacturing.

What is a Containerized Cleanroom?
Essentially, a Containerized cleanroom is a high-spec lab inserted into a robust ISO shipping container (20ft or 40ft). While the exterior is a steel shell built for ocean transport, the interior is indistinguishable from a high-end facility. We integrate pharmaceutical-grade walls, GMP-compliant flooring, and a complete HVAC system with HEPA filtration directly into this structure.
The real difference is where the work happens. In traditional setups, components are shipped loose and assembled in your facility. With our prefabricated Containerized cleanroom approACH, we execute the assembly, sealing, wiring, and pressure testing in our own factory. We verify the performance before it ever leaves our dock. This means you receive a finished product that is verified and ready to run.
Inside the Shell: A Cutaway View
From a project management perspective, the math is simple: Parallel Processing. While you prepare the foundation on-site, we are manufacturing the unit. Unlike the linear "finish foundation → start structure" method of traditional builds, our prefabricated cleanroom timeline allows these steps to overlap, typically slashing the total project schedule by 70%.
Why Choose Containerized cleanrooms?
Bypass Site Construction
Avoid the dust and noise that disrupt production. Since these units are often classified as equipment rather than new buildings, you can often bypass complex permitting processes.
True Plug-and-Play
We mean it literally: connect the main power cable and water supply, and turn it on. The system arrives pre-commissioned, eliminating the "start-up week" struggle.
Reclaim Indoor Space
Why consume expensive indoor manufacturing floor? These rugged units can sit in a parking lot or yard, instantly adding capacity without expanding your building footprint.
100% Retainable Asset
If you move facilities, the cleanroom moves with you. It doesn't become a sunk cost left behind in the landlord's building; it remains a portable asset on your balance sheet.
The Economics of Space
Using premium indoor manufacturing space for a new cleanroom is often more expensive than realized. By placing Container Cleanrooms outdoors, the ROI changes dramatically:
Simple Monthly Comparison:
Indoor Production Floor: $150/m² × 30 m² = $4,500
Outdoor / Yard Space: $15/m² × 30 m² = $450
Potential Monthly Savings: $4,050
Annual Impact: ~$48,600 saved on rent allocation alone.
Built for the Elements
Remember, shipping containers are engineered to survive saltwater oceans. Our prefabricated Containerized cleanroom units retain this durability:
- Corten steel structure (corrosion resistant)
- IP65 rated waterproof sealing
- Heavy duty thermal insulation (R-15 min)
- Withstands wind loads up to 125 km/h
You don't need to build a shed over it. It is the shed.
In high-stakes industries like pharma, speed is revenue. If a Containerized cleanroom gets you into production 12 weeks earlier than a traditional build, for a $50M/year product line, that acceleration captures roughly $11.5M in revenue that would otherwise be lost to waiting.
Comparing Build Methodologies
It is crucial to understand that not all "prefabricated" solutions are the same. A standard modular cleanroom is a kit of parts assembled at your site. A containerized solution is a finished product. This distinction drastically impacts your risk profile and timeline.
