Wiskind Cleanroom FAQs

• What defines a cleanroom?

  A cleanroom is essentially a controlled environment where the concentration of airborne particles is minimized. This sealed space is designed to limit the introduction, generation, and retention of particles. Additionally, various factors such as temperature, humidity, and pressure are often regulated to meet the specific needs of different cleanroom systems or cleanroom projects.

• What is a modular cleanroom?

  Modular cleanrooms are a type of prefab cleanroom that are assembled using pre-engineered panels manufactured off-site. These modular cleanrooms are easy to install, durable, and flexible, enabling clean room manufacturers to provide quick and cost-effective solutions. Unlike traditional stick-built cleanrooms, modular cleanrooms can be expanded, relocated, or reconfigured, making them an ideal choice for businesses looking for versatile and scalable cleanroom systems.

• What are the different classifications of cleanrooms like Class 100, Class 1000, Class 10,000, and Class 100,000?

  Cleanrooms are categorized based on the maximum number of particles (0.5 micrometer in size) allowed per cubic foot of air. For instance, a Class 100 cleanroom allows only 100 particles per cubic foot. These classifications, originally from the Federal Standard 209, are still widely used, despite being replaced by ISO-14644-1 in 2001. For example, Class 100 corresponds to ISO 5, and Class 100,000 aligns with ISO 8.

• What do the cleanroom grades A, B, C, and D mean?

  In cleanroom modular systems for sterile room drug manufacturing, different grades are defined based on the cleanliness required. Grade A cleanrooms, equivalent to ISO 5, are used for high-risk activities like aseptic connections, while Grade B supports aseptic preparation and is ISO 5 at rest and ISO 7 in operation. Grades C and D are used for less critical stages in cleanroom projects, with Class C at rest being ISO 7, and Class D being ISO 8.

• How do positive and negative pressure in cleanrooms differ?

  Cleanrooms are typically designed with positive pressure to keep contaminants from entering, achieved by pumping filtered air into the space. However, some cleanroom systems, especially those used in hazardous environments, operate under negative pressure. In these cases, air is drawn out of the room, creating a lower pressure to prevent contaminated air from escaping.

  
  

• What sets hardwall cleanrooms apart from softwall cleanrooms?

  Hardwall modular cleanrooms are constructed with rigid materials such as acrylic or polycarbonate, providing excellent control over air pressure, temperature, and humidity. These are ideal for high-class cleanrooms or when precise environmental control is needed. In contrast, softwall cleanrooms, made from flexible PVC curtains, offer a simpler design and are generally used for lower-class cleanroom systems, where less stringent control is required.

  
  

• Can my cleanroom be expanded in the future?

  Yes, one of the major benefits of modular cleanrooms is their flexibility. As your clean room project evolves, you can easily reconfigure, extend, or relocate your modular cleanroom systems. Discussing potential modifications at the initial stage with a modular cleanroom supplier will ensure your cleanroom design can accommodate future needs.

• Does the cost of a cleanroom include installation and shipping

  Typically, the price quoted for a prefab clean room does not cover installation or shipping costs. These additional expenses can be provided by your cleanroom supplier, who will offer an estimate for both installation and freight.

• Can I modify my cleanroom later if my needs change?

  Yes, modular cleanrooms are designed to be highly adaptable. You can adjust the size, add or remove components, and make other modifications as your cleanroom needs evolve, making them ideal for growing cleanroom projects. This flexibility is a major advantage of choosing a modular cleanroom manufacturer such as Wiskind Cleanroom.

  
  

• How do I know what kind of cleanroom I need?

  The type of cleanroom you require depends on your specific industry and application. There are many cleanroom systems available, ranging from highly sterile environments to more general-purpose cleanrooms. A clean room manufacturer can help you design a solution that meets your current needs and future requirements. Contact Wiskind for expert guidance and customized cleanroom solutions that ensure optimal performance and compliance with industry standards.

  
  

• What will my cleanroom cost?

  The cost of a cleanroom will vary depending on the classification required and the features needed. Stricter cleanliness standards typically result in higher costs. For example, a Class 100 cleanroom will be more expensive than a Class 10,000 cleanroom. Factors like filtration, temperature, and humidity control also influence the price.
