Cleanrooms
How to keep cleanroom products 100% dust- and contamination-free
In a cleanroom environment, even the smallest contamination can pose a major issue. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and semiconductors rely on highly sensitive processes where microscopic particles can cause significant damage. Any products entering or leaving a cleanroom must therefore be 100% free of dust and contamination. Achieving this requires an extremely meticulous cleaning process. In this article, we explore the challenges and best practices of cleanroom cleaning and how Supura contributes to a flawless cleaning process.
Challenges at & best -practices for cleanroom cleaning
Cleanrooms are not just sterile spaces; they are classified according to ISO 14644 standards, which specify the allowable number of particles per cubic meter of air. The stricter the requirements, the more critical the cleaning process for products entering and leaving the cleanroom.
Key challenges in cleanroom cleaning:
- Contamination control: Even a single dust particle can disrupt production processes or render final products unusable.
- Regulations and audits: Companies must comply with strict standards such as ISO 14644, GMP, and HACCP.
- Efficiency: Manual cleaning is prone to error and time-consuming, whereas automation ensures consistent and repeatable cleaning quality.
- Sustainability: Balancing thorough cleaning with responsible water and energy consumption is an ongoing challenge.
To ensure a safe and efficient cleanroom environment, companies follow strict protocols for cleaning products and materials.
Key best practices include:
- Use of automated washing systems: Enhances reliability and reduces contamination risk.
- Validation and monitoring: Cleaning processes for cleanroom products must be traceable and verifiable.
- Optimised water and detergent usage: Cleaning machines must be effective without unnecessary waste.
