modular clean rooms: The Ultimate Customizable Solution            

Revolutionary contamination control environments tailored to your unique needs

Modular cleanrooms are a revolutionary solution in environments where contamination control is critical. They're not just functional; they're also incredibly customizable, allowing for tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of various industries. This adaptability makes them especially valuable in fields like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and Electronics, where standards and requirements frequently evolve.

ISO Classification

One of the primary customization options for modular cleanrooms is ISO classification. These environments can be designed to meet specific levels of cleanliness, from ISO Class 5 to ISO Class 8, thereby aligning with international standards critical for industry compliance. 
For instance, Deiiang™, led by product designer Deiiang Jason.peng, often adapts cleanrooms to meet precise ISO Standards, ensuring that they not only comply with regulations like ISO 14644 but also exceed basic cleanliness expectations.

Size and Configuration

The sheer flexibility in size and configuration allows modular cleanrooms to adapt to a facility's spatial constraints or operational needs. Whether a client needs a compact lab space or a vast manufacturing floor, a modular cleanroom can be scaled and reconfigured easily.

This flexibility is particularly beneficial for startups or expanding companies, allowing them to modify their cleanrooms as their operations grow without the need for extensive reconstruction. Common size ranges include:

  • Compact labs: 10-50 square meters
  • Medium-scale production: 50-200 square meters
  • Large manufacturing floors: 200+ square meters
  • Custom configurations for unique spaces

Environmental Controls

Environmental controls in modular cleanrooms are highly customizable. They can be tailored to control air pressure, temperature, humidity, and particle levels accurately, aligning with specific process needs.For example, in Semiconductor facilities, maintaining a controlled environment is crucial for product integrity. Deiiang™ has innovated in integrating advanced HVAC systems that adapt to varying manufacturing requirements, ensuring precise environmental control.

Typical Control Parameters

  • Temperature: 20-24°C (68-75°F)
  • Humidity: 40-60% RH
  • Air pressure: Positive/negative differential
  • Air changes: 15-60 per hour
  • Particle filtration: HEPA/ULPA standards

Materials

When it comes to materials, modular cleanrooms provide diverse options to suit different operational demands. Walls can be constructed from materials such as aluminum, steel, or high-grade plastics — each offering unique benefits depending on the application.                        
The choice of materials not only impacts the durability and maintenance of the cleanroom but also its ability to meet hygiene and safety standards essential in industries like pharmaceuticals.
