This panel system cleanroom has been installed at LOA MTRC Full Surface Group in Valkenswaard, a specialist company in all types of surface treatment. With its H14 HEPA filtration and innovative design, the cleanroom easily achieves an ISO class 6  classification in the main area and ISO class 7 in the goods and gowning areas. The use of EC fan filter units ensure optimum airflow within the cleanroom at lowest possible operational cost.

Designed for the LOA process
This cleanroom has been designed to perfectly match the desired process of cleaning and packaging. The main cleanroom area is accessible through a self-closing swing door from the gowning area or through a wide self-closing sliding door from the transit area. To enter the transit area from outside the cleanroom, a high speed roll up has been installed. The self-closing doors reduce the risk of contamination transfer between the different areas.

In the main area a separate dark UV inspection area was created using black opaque sliding walls to support product particle inspections according to ASML grade 2 & grade 4 cleanroom conditions. The large sliding door between the main- and transit area allow goods of different sizes to enter and exit the cleanroom with ease. Employees enter the cleanroom through the gowning area which is equipped with a step over bench and storage space.

Maximum cleanliness
The flush walls and ceiling design accommodate fast and maximum cleaning and allow for maximum cleanliness performance. The four areas of the cleanroom are all equipped with self-closing swing or sliding doors, which means that the transfer of contamination is kept to a minimum.
A special surface coating of the panels reduces adhesion of particles further improving process cleanliness.

Cleanroom communication
To ensure easy communication between cleanroom operators, a stainless steel intercom system was installed. 

Open working environment
Large windows with double safety glass were installed to allow ambient light to enter the cleanroom and offer a bright working environment for operators.

A large quantity of high output LED panels have been installed to optimally illuminate the cleanroom and ensure optimal process conditions.
