The design of a clean room is designed and developed for environments whose activities need to be carried out under controlled conditions, with different classifications and pressures. They are normally used in industries, in the production of food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronic components, biotechnology, hospital areas, and others.
Any contamination, whether by dust or particles, in these environments can crucially compromise the entire production and operational process of a product, presenting a drop in the quality and safety of the products and services being produced. The ease of cleaning these places should also be considered, such as the adoption of rounded corners in walls and materials.
When carrying out your clean room project, it is essential that you pay attention to the type of material or product that will be developed in the clean room, and that you also define which finishing materials you should use in the construction of your room. Another important tip is to make you know in which conditions these materials or products should be kept, considering characteristics of temperature, relative air humidity, pressure and classification.
It is obviously essential to pay attention to national regulations defined by ABNT and Anvisa and foreign standards for production destined for the international market. Therefore, when choosing the company that will be responsible for all the idealization and development of your clean room project, you must take into account the excellence of the company that will perform this service.

What to consider when choosing a clean room project?
When carrying out a cleanroom project, the main points to consider are:
- Cleanroom function: where the specific environment and controls required in the particular cleanroom should be considered
- Cleanroom operation: where the workflow and procedures necessary to obtain the desired control of the product must be included.
- Ease of maintenance: where the ease of cleaning the place, furniture and equipment that make up the room must be considered.
Function of a clean room
The operation of a cleanroom is subject to the establishment of norms and rules, and each facility has a set of rules appropriate to its function, even if all cleanrooms are similar in their design.
The clean room project requires particular architectural knowledge for this application, and therefore, the design engineer must have extensive knowledge of the techniques of air conditioning, ventilation and filtration of the rooms, in addition to specific construction materials and equipment, and delve into details. in the application of lighting devices, liquid and air filtration techniques and sterilization procedures for these places.
It is also important for the designer to understand manufacturing methods, material and people flowcharts, packaging engineering, maintenance and sanitation methods, among many other cleanroom expertise. This auxiliary knowledge must be considered so that the cleanroom is designed as an area integrated with the other facilities of the facility, according to the operational sequence of the production or system to be implemented.
Design tip for a basic cleanroom layout
Asmontec's tip for a good clean room project is to consider the basic layout based on the following data: that the client contracting the clean room project knows the type of product and quantity of production that will take place in the room, and the entire flow of the process, such as input and output of raw material, packaging, people and the entire production flowchart.
If the client already has all this data, the specialized company or the experienced professional will be able to support, develop and execute the project based on this basic layout, according to the client's needs and execution following the normative resolutions and regulations in force.
Schedule: deadlines that involve the project
The schedule of the work to implement a clean room may contain some variables, however, it usually follows the steps:
- Definition of layout and construction materials
- Construction of the clean room support structure
- Fixing false ceiling risers and supports
- False ceiling installation
- Installation of Partition Profiles and Supports
- Installation of partitions
- False lining cutouts
- Door Installation
- Display Installation
- Finishes and Siliconization
- Fine cleaning of the clean room
The executive project is carried out, approximately, between 20 and 30 days.
The purchase and manufacture of materials can vary from 20 to 45 days.
Assembly can take place within 20 days after project approval, and completed 60 days later.
The deadline for a work is normally 90 to 120 days. Depending on the case and the size of the work, it can take up to 180 days.
What is important to consider as principles in designing a Clean Room schedule:
- quantity and difficulty of the work site
- definition of the steps, phases and materials that will be used in the work
- deadline stipulated by the client for completion of the work
- time gap between construction activities and third-party delivery
Commonly, this is always a big bottleneck of the project, because in the assembly the deadlines are tight. Therefore, when hiring a company that carries out all the steps that involve the creation, elaboration, construction and delivery of a clean room, it is worth considering those that manufacture their own inputs and materials for the assembly of clean rooms. This decision will have a positive impact on the project's term, as it minimizes dependence on third parties and ensures the quality of the project in all areas, since you have only one contractor taking care of the entire implementation.
Here at Asmontec we take all your doubts and offer our support so you can make the best decision when hiring the company that will develop the clean room project for you. look for us and it will be a great pleasure to understand and meet your needs.
