Working under cleanroom conditions has largely become the industry standard in the fields of electrical and medical technology as well as in the pharmaceutical, food and semiconductor industries. Due to the increased use of microelectronics in the automotive sector and the resulting rise in demands for technical cleanliness, cleanrooms are also set to become more common throughout the automobile industry and its suppliers in the future. A cleanroom facilitates the manufacturing and packaging of highly technical or particularly sensitive products, while at the same time offering suitable environmental conditions for a wide range of research and development work.
Cleanrooms are defined as a room in which the concentration of airborne particles is kept to a minimum. The air purity is classified according to cleanliness classes and the equipment in a cleanroom must fulfil the strict requirements of the respective particle purity class. This means that gaps, holes and rough surfaces must be avoided in order to facilitate removal of particle deposits and thereby reduce contamination.
In a cleanroom environment, constructions such as machine frames, protective device guards, workstations or work platforms must meet the relevant requirements of the room’s cleanliness class. To meet these requirements, mk offers a comprehensive portfolio of cleanroom profiles and corresponding accessories.
