ISO 6 cleanrooms are environments designed to maintain extremely low levels of airborne contaminants, making them suitable for sensitive manufacturing processes such as semiconductor fabrication and biotechnology. When it comes to lifting equipment within such controlled environments, it's crucial to ensure that they meet the cleanliness and safety standards required.
Cleanrooms are classified based on the quantity and size of particles allowed per volume of air. For example, designations like "class 100" or "class 1000" refer to FED-STD-209E and indicate the permissible number of particles, each 0.5 μm or larger in size, per cubic foot of air.
CLASS | Number of Particles per Cubic Meter by Micrometer Size | FED STD 209E equivalent | |||||
0.1 microns | 0.2 microns | 0.3 microns | 0.5 microns | 1 micron | 5 microns | ||
ISO 1 | 10 | 2 | |||||
ISO 2 | 100 | 24 | 10 | 4 | |||
ISO 3 | 1,000 | 237 | 102 | 35 | 8 | Class 1 | |
ISO 4 | 10,000 | 2,370 | 1,020 | 352 | 83 | Class 10 | |
ISO 5 | 100,000 | 23,700 | 10,200 | 3,520 | 832 | 29 | Class 100 |
ISO 6 | 1,000,000 | 237,000 | 102,000 | 35,200 | 8,320 | 293 | Class 1,000 |
ISO 7 | 352,000 | 83,200 | 2,930 | Class 10,000 | |||
ISO 8 | 3,520,000 | 832,000 | 29,300 | Class 100,000 | |||
ISO 9 | 35,200,000 | 8,320,000 | 293,000 | Room Air |
Compliance and Standards of Cleanroom Crane
• ISO 14644 Compliance: The ISO 6 cleanroom cranes meet ISO 14644 standards for cleanroom classification, ensuring they do not compromise the cleanroom environment.
• GMP Compliance: For pharmaceutical applications, cranes may also comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines, ensuring they meet additional regulatory requirements for cleanliness and hygiene.
Operational Features of ISO 6 Cleanroom Crane
• Precision Handling: Cleanroom cranes offer precise control over lifting and positioning to handle sensitive materials and equipment without causing contamination.
• Low Noise and Vibration: The design minimizes noise and vibration, which can contribute to particle generation and disruption of sensitive processes.
• Controlled Environment Compatibility: These cranes are designed to operate without affecting the cleanroom’s air quality, temperature, and humidity controls.
These features allows ISO 6 cleanroom cranes applied in many industries:
1. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Handling raw materials, intermediate products, and finished goods in a sterile environment.
2. Semiconductor Fabrication: Transporting delicate wafers and components without introducing contaminants.
3. Biotechnology: Moving biological samples and equipment in a controlled environment to prevent contamination.
