The cleanrooms

Hard-wall modular construction.

Terra Universal modular panel system with sealed epoxy flooring, vision panels and interlocked doors. Non-shedding, fully wipeable and reconfigurable, which permits allocation of a dedicated room to a single program.

ESD workbenches with overhead task lighting, distributed power and a filtered compressed air drop at each station. Microscope stations for assembly and in-process inspection. Bench spacing maintains separation between concurrent programs.

Two configurations. Dedicated benches on the shared floor, or a private classified room allocated to a single program.

Contamination control

Contamination control cascade.

Five zones of increasing cleanliness. Each stage removes contamination the preceding stage could not, governing both product and personnel flow.

Reception

Uncontrolled

Visitors, deliveries and paperwork stop here. Nothing crosses without a reason.

Gowning

Controlled entry

Coveralls, bouffants, boot covers and gloves. Garments staged and maintained, not stashed.

Transfer room

Airlock

Materials wiped down and unwrapped from shipping packaging before they cross. The buffer that protects the room.

Cleanroom floor

ISO 7 / Class 10,000

Microscope stations, ESD benches, filtered downflow and positive pressure. Where assembly happens.

Packaged

Sealed & verified

Pouch sealed inside the room, seal integrity checked, labeled and released against the record.

Supporting infrastructure.

Air generation, filtration and pressure control are specified, sized and maintained as an integrated system supporting the classified space.

SystemWhat it means for your buildNotes
Clean dry compressed airKaeser rotary screw compressor with refrigerated dryer and multi-stage filtration, plumbed to a drop at every bench. Dry, filtered air at the point of use — not shop air off a tank.Kaeser
Filtration & pressure cascadeFiltered positive-pressure downflow with a gowning-to-transfer-to-floor pressure sequence, so air always moves from cleaner space toward less clean space.ISO 7
