Finally a network that cares

Paul Jochem

Just in time for Lounges 2016, the second brochure has been taken from the printing press. Following the sluice concept, the creators of CleanRoomNet developed a guide for the planners of cleanrooms.

The increasingly strict guidelines and requirements for cleanliness during production also demand a rethinking of manufacturing processes.

A normal production process no longer meets these requirements. A necessary rethinking is taking place. This rethinking is often associated with high costs. Changes to the production site are inevitable. The demand for high throughput while maintaining already defined limits for residual dirt and other hygiene parameters only allows production in cleanrooms.

However, establishing such a production facility requires processes of rethinking. Those involved in cleanroom technology are therefore challenged to deal with: air intakes, air filtration, relative humidity, air exchange rate, air vortices, zone concepts, monitoring systems, special clothing, training of personnel, to name just a few. In doing so, one is simply overwhelmed or pushed to their limits.

Because planning errors can lead to significant financial losses. These potential mistakes are not always immediately recognizable. Their effects are often only visible after some time.

Therefore, anyone who wants to plan and manage a cleanroom professionally should devote a lot of care to the planning. Terms like: building components, room layouts, project planning and qualification, as well as liability issues, can quickly become overwhelming.

By engaging experienced and qualified specialists, you are always on the safe side.

To ensure you do not have to proceed entirely without knowledge, the specialists of CleanRoomNet have created a guide with various checklists that provide information on the following topics:

- Planning and construction of cleanrooms
- Cleaning and hygiene
- Coatings and surfaces
- Cleanroom clothing
- Cleanroom equipment
- Training and further education
- Consumables for cleanrooms
- Requalification and service

Furthermore, the network partners are always available with advice and support.
