Industrial Use of Clean Rooms

Clean rooms play a crucial role in various industries, each requiring specific design considerations tailored to their unique needs:


Cannabis Production:

Clean rooms for cannabis production must meet stringent sanitary standards similar to pharmaceutical clean rooms. However, they face unique challenges due to the nature of cannabis plants, which introduce issues such as plant contaminants (e.g., mites, insects), cross-pollination risks, and microbial contamination. These clean rooms typically range from ISO 5 to ISO 8 classifications to ensure the safe handling and production of cannabis products.


Vaccine Production:

Clean rooms for vaccine production are essential to ensure the integrity and safety of the vaccines. Different types of vaccines (e.g., viral, plant-based, RNA) require specific clean room environments tailored to their production processes. Clean rooms for vaccine production must meticulously control parameters such as temperature, humidity, airflow, and air pressure to safeguard the integrity of the vaccines and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.


Hazardous Pharmaceuticals:

Clean rooms for handling hazardous pharmaceuticals deal with highly dangerous chemicals and compounds. These clean rooms are isolated from other facility areas to prevent contamination and include stringent safety measures to protect personnel from exposure to hazardous drugs. Compliance with regulations such as USP 800 is crucial, which outlines requirements for handling hazardous drugs, including the use of specialized protective clothing and stringent cleaning procedures.


Food Processing:

Clean rooms in food processing are essential for controlling airborne contaminants and pathogens to maintain product quality and safety. These clean rooms are designed to extend the shelf life of food products by preventing contamination during processing and packaging. Softwall clean rooms are commonly used in food processing due to their cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and flexibility. Rigidwall clean rooms are also utilized for their durability and cleanliness, although they are less adaptable to changes in production processes compared to softwall options.


In all these industries, clean rooms are critical for ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards. Each type of clean room is designed to meet specific environmental control requirements necessary for the particular industry and its processes.
