When it comes to creating a cleanroom environment, the design and construction of the space are crucial. MMBT by Metro CAD's Modular Demountable Wall Hardwall Cleanrooms offer a cost-effective solution for achieving the desired ISO cleanroom classification levels. MMBT builds modular hardwall cleanrooms class ISO 5 to ISO 8. Reach out to MMBT by Metro CAD for help with your cleanroom needs.

What ISO Cleanroom Class when designing your modular cleanroom?

Planning is key to design a successful modular cleanroom. Think about your needs. How clean does it need to be? How much space do you need? How will people and equipment move through? Consider cleanroom classification, and how the space will be used. What is manufactured in the room? How will equipment integrate? How will people move around? These things affect your design. Also, it's key to plan for future expansion.

Impact of ISO Class on Operations

The ISO class of your cleanroom is affected by the type of medical device manufacturing operations being performed inside of the specific cleanroom. If you're making sterile medicines, you'll likely need an ISO 5 cleanroom. Just need a gowning room an ISO 8 cleanroom would fit your needs. A cleanroom's ISO class is important for the safety and quality of what you manufacture.

ISO Cleanroom Classifications Explained

Cleanrooms follow strict rules to measure cleanliness. These rules come from ISO 14644-1. The standards define different levels, like ISO 5, ISO 6, ISO 7, and ISO 8. Each class has a limit on how many particles can be in the air. ISO 5 is the cleanest. It's often used for sensitive tasks. MMBT builds Modular cleanrooms to meet Cleanroom Classes from ISO 5 to ISO 8. ISO cleanroom classes are achieved through cleanroom design and technology. More HEPA filters and air changes will be needed to achieve an ISO 5 cleanroom classification.

The table below shows a simple breakdown of particle counts allowed in each ISO cleanroom class:

ISO Class	Max Particles (≥0.5 μm) per m³	Air Changes Per Hour (Typical)
ISO 5	3,520	240-600
ISO 6	35,200	150-240
ISO 7	352,000	60-90
ISO 8	3,520,000	20-40

How to Determine the Right ISO Class

Picking the right ISO class depends on a few things. How sensitive is your product? What do the rules say you need? What could go wrong if things aren't clean enough? You'll need to think about these questions to pick the right class. Do a risk assessment to figure out what ISO class you need.

Customization Options

One of the main advantages of MMBT's modular cleanrooms is the ability to customize the space to meet specific requirements. From pass through boxes to different door options, such as slide doors or swing doors, the possibilities are vast. Additionally, the ability to add features like a monitor room, gowning room, windows, and tables on side walls allows for a tailored cleanroom design.

304 Stainless Steel Pass Through Boxes

Pass through boxes are essential components of cleanrooms, facilitating the transfer of materials without compromising the cleanliness of the environment. MMBT offers standard pass through boxes measuring 24" L x 24" W x 24" H. For larger items, custom pass through box sizes like 6' L x 24" W x 24" H are also available. MMBT pass through boxes are made from 304 Stainless steel. MMBT's pass through boxes have mechanical door interlocks. The window of the pass through box is tempered glass.

Aluminum-Clad Polyethylene Panels

Modular hardwall cleanroom panels from MMBT are constructed from Aluminum-Clad Polyethylene. This material not only provides durability but also ensures hygiene within the cleanroom. The panels can withstand the cleaning chemicals typically used in cleanroom environments, maintaining a sterile and safe workspace.

Building on Existing Cleanrooms

Another advantage of MMBT's modular cleanrooms is the ability to build on an existing cleanroom structure. This flexibility allows for expansion or modification of cleanroom facilities without the need for extensive construction work. It offers a practical and efficient solution for companies looking to upgrade their cleanroom capabilities.
