CLEANROOM DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY
Today, the use of cleanrooms for manufacturing, packaging, testing, and research has become an indispensable part of many industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, packaging, surface protection, biotechnology, materials research, and semiconductor technology. Viet Panel Co., Ltd. is fully capable of meeting all requirements for cleanroom design and construction in the packaging industry.
What is a cleanroom for packaging industry?
Simply put, a “cleanroom” is a very clean room. According to ISO 14644-1, a cleanroom is a space in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled and minimized. In addition, other environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and pressure can also be controlled and regulated.
Cleanrooms used in the packaging industry are typically enclosed spaces where airborne dust levels are restricted to the lowest possible level to prevent contamination during research, fabrication, and production processes. At the same time, air temperature, pressure, and humidity are precisely controlled to best support these processes. Moreover, the room is ensured to be sterile and free from harmful gases, fully meeting the true definition of a “clean” environment.
Cleanroom standards for packaging industry
The primary standard for cleanrooms is dust concentration, meaning the extent to which airborne particles are controlled. To illustrate, the diameter of a human hair is approximately 100 µm, while dust particles in cleanrooms can range from 0.5 to 50 µm in diameter.
Cleanroom standards were first introduced in the United States in 1963 and have since become globally recognized standards. These standards specify the allowable number of dust particles within a given volume of air. Cleanrooms are classified based on particle size levels, with room classes determined by the number of particles larger than 0.5 µm per cubic foot of air.
Currently, many cleanroom standards exist however, cleanrooms used in the packaging industry typically follow ISO 14644-1. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) established international cleanroom standards, and ISO 14644-1, published in 1999, is titled “Classification of Air Cleanliness”.
Where are cleanrooms installed in packaging manufacturing plants?
Typically, packaging manufacturing plants include the following cleanroom areas:
- Production area cleanrooms
- Product packaging cleanrooms
Consultation, design, and construction process for cleanrooms
Step 1: After receiving a cleanroom design request from the client, cleanroom design and construction experts conduct on-site surveys and measure technical parameters at the installation location.
Step 2: Based on the measured structural layout, area, airflow rate, pressure levels, and other factors, a complete cleanroom design plan is developed.
Step 3: Construct the cleanroom using specialized cleanroom equipment and materials, strictly complying with construction requirements to ensure airtightness, pressure control, and compliance with dust particle standards.
Step 4: Conduct inspection and acceptance testing before putting the cleanroom system into operation.
Step 5: Provide warranty services for the packaging industry cleanroom project.
