The Main Benefits of Constructing a Modular Cleanroom

A growing number of businesses from different industries can only operate under certain, fine-tuned environmental conditions to maintain product quality and yield. This is where a cleanroom comes in. This special room utilizes a combination of controlled pressure, humidity, and air flow rates, among others. In many cases, they have to maintain an ISO cleanroom at varying levels, examples including ISO 5 through 8.

There are two ways of building a cleanroom:

Option 1) you can either erect an extra building next to the main manufacturing plant, which requires significant investment of time and resources along with production downtime;

Option 2) or you could construct a modular cleanroom, which takes a fraction of a time to complete and requires considerably less investment than the first option.

Businesses from many industries, especially areas such as pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, electronics, and other manufacturing environments often go with option 2 instead.

Investing in a well constructed modular cleanroom can go a long way in maximizing your production rate and dramatically improving quality of output.

Here are the 5 benefits of constructing modular cleanrooms traditional brick-and-mortar cleanrooms.

1. Quick Turnaround

Many organizations seek to minimize delays and hit the ground running at their peak production capabilities. This often means that the time it takes to construct a traditional cleanroom will eat into their production timeline and with it, their profits.

The alternative, modular cleanrooms, can be constructed quickly and are easy to set up. They are often constructed from pre-fabricated panels and a sturdy frame, taking only a few hours or days to set up, instead of months that would be otherwise needed for a traditional cleanroom structure.

2. Low Investment Requirements

Modular cleanrooms have an efficient design that utilizes ISO standards for construction to reduce the cost of investment while maintaining structural integrity. Cleanrooms constructed this way often require less outdoor air for their humidity and temperature control, greatly reducing the energy costs of keeping the cleanroom environmentally stable.

3. Green Design

Modular cleanrooms are highly efficient to operate and provide businesses with the opportunity to utilize green construction techniques. This is important if you want to build a reputation as a brand that cares about the environment and the planet as a whole.

Modular cleanrooms often use recycled materials in their construction, which can go a long way in minimizing the burden placed on the earth’s natural resources and cuts down on the amount of waste that is soon going to occupy landfills.

4. Lower Maintenance Costs

One of the biggest advantages of modular cleanrooms over brick and mortar structures is the ease of maintenance and repair.

You can repair the walls of a modular cleanroom by simply replacing a single damaged panel instead of having to redo the whole structure again. Certain modular cleanroom designs also come with the option of a walkable ceiling, allowing workers to access the cleanroom from above. The idea is to minimize the absorption of moisture in highly humid environments, and therefore maintenance time and costs.

5. Customizable Features

• Modular cleanrooms can be customized to meet certain requirements such as;

• good weather resistance corrosion resistance

• hardness levels between 3H-6H

• combustion performance of grade A or grade B

• being made of extremely flame retardant material

• excellent weather resistance

• corrosion resistance to prevent air pollution and UV light

• and the list goes on.
