Dust capture in a cleanroom

Cleanrooms are critical environments used in various sectors such as scientific research, pharmaceutical industry, and electronics manufacturing. They are specifically designed to maintain extremely clean and pure conditions. Among the many challenges they face, effective dust management is crucial to ensure strict quality standards and ensure the safety of products and processes.

An effective system for capturing invisible dust particles

Dust particles, often invisible to the naked eye, can originate from various sources, including human activities, used equipment, construction materials, and even ambient air. These particles can compromise product sterility, cause damage to delicate electronic components, and contaminate biological samples. Therefore, it is essential to implement effective and reliable dust capture systems. Airwatec, the exclusive importer of Viledon products in Belgium and Luxembourg, has experts with over 40 years of experience in this field.

HEPA Filters Viledon

One of the key components of cleanrooms is their sophisticated ventilation system. These systems maintain a positive pressure in the room, which means that air is pushed outwards rather than being drawn inwards. High-efficiency air filters, commonly known as HEPA filters, are integrated into these ventilation systems to capture airborne particles. HEPA filters are capable of capturing over 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger in size, ensuring meticulous filtration of the air entering the room.

Regularly changing the filters is crucial.

To maintain the continuous efficiency of dust capture systems in cleanrooms, regular maintenance procedures need to be implemented. This includes the periodic replacement of HEPA filters to prevent saturation, cleaning of air ducts to remove dust accumulations, and regular inspection of local capture devices. Additionally, proper training of personnel on good dust handling and control practices is essential to minimize particle generation.

Do you want to purify your cleanroom?

In conclusion, dust capture in a cleanroom is of paramount importance to maintain clean and pure environments in sensitive industries. Through sophisticated ventilation systems, local capture devices, and rigorous maintenance procedures, it is possible to minimize the risks of contamination and ensure the quality of products and processes. Effective dust management contributes to the reliability, safety, and success of activities conducted in cleanrooms.
