Cleanroom Wall System

MAS' cleanroom wall systems have been used worldwide to create cleanrooms for the pharmaceutical and electronics manufacturing industry.  These types of cleanrooms are what are called “NASA Grade” cleanrooms due to the stringent standards for particles per cubic foot.  Typically these rooms are, with the proper air supply system, able to maintain an ISO Class 3 or 4 (FS 209E Class 3 or 10) environment ensuring absolute sterility of the air. 

The wall structure is framed using 6061 clear anodized extruded aluminum profiles.  The panel options are anodized aluminum composite, black or white PVC.  If a “see through” wall is desired (Fig. 1 below) then transparent acrylic or polycarbonate wall panels may be used so that the interior can be viewed at all times.  We can also create half transparent walls and doors or simply install windows in the aluminum, black or white panels.

These prefab walls are very popular in constructing the minimum ISO-7 pharmaceutical compounding areas (CSP) into which place laminar flow hoods, glove boxes etc, to meet USP General Chapter <797> standards.  They can be installed within hours where standard studding and wall board construction can take several days as well as for painting.  The labor savings is significant.

The supporting posts, doors and other connectors are all gasketed so that the sterile atmosphere is maintained.  This includes the cleanroom ceiling that encloses the top of the room by connecting to the erected room’s wall panels or from an existing wall to the panels.  Various posts can be utilized including a double wall system so that piping, tubing and conduit can be enclosed inside the two wall panels.

The various advantages of this type of construction are, little or no down time while construction is taking place whereas plaster board and wood framing create dust particles which require clear polyethylene screening to protect both interior and exterior areas.  The cost is less than other materials and installation time is usually a matter of hours not days.
