Ultimate Cleaning Equipment for Cleanrooms
The list of industries that incorporate cleanrooms into their manufacturing facilities is growing at a galloping pace. Ever since cleanroom standards were instituted on behalf of the US Government and NASA (which needed to establish requirements for cleanliness on the production of various items for the Apollo Space project), commercial businesses have seen the benefit to adding cleanrooms to their own manufacturing processes.
Today, electronics, semiconductor, high-tech, biotech, pharmaceutical, medical device, and chemical manufacturers operate cleanrooms – even some progressive food companies use cleanrooms. (E-mail us your industry so we can add it to the list!) But, all of the effort and expense involved in creating these immaculate, contaminant-free atmospheres may be wasted if it’s not maintained properly.
The key word for cleanrooms is contaminant. While the contaminant may be a particle of perfectly legitimate, high-quality material, in the cleanroom setting it earns a status no greater than the lowly dirt speck. And, it is not tolerated. Maintaining cleanroom standards requires proper cleaning of all floors and surfaces with a HEPA-filtered vacuum.
