Project Background
The client needed to upgrade an existing production area into a controlled cleanroom for medical device manufacturing. The products included small medical components, plastic parts, assembled device parts, and packaged medical products. These processes required better particle control, cleaner material handling, and clearer separation between production steps.
Before the project, component assembly, inspection, and packaging were performed in a general production area. The client wanted a cleaner and more organized space to reduce contamination risk, improve workflow, support quality control, and prepare for more standardized production management.
STJh Cleanroom designed the cleanroom with separated functional zones, including gowning room, air shower entrance, clean corridor, assembly room, inspection room, packaging area, material transfer point, and clean storage area. The system helps the client control personnel entry, material movement, airflow, pressure, lighting, and workstation arrangement.
Client Pain Points
Production environment was not clean enough: Medical device components required better particle control than a general workshop could provide.
Personnel entry was not standardized: Operators needed a proper gowning and air shower process before entering the clean production area.
Material transfer needed better control: Components, packaging materials, and finished products needed a cleaner transfer route between rooms.
Assembly and packaging areas were not clearly separated: The client needed separate zones for component assembly, inspection, packaging, and clean storage.
Workflow needed to be more organized: Worktables, carts, racks, tools, and product trays needed a clear layout to avoid cross-movement.
Airflow and pressure control were required: The cleanroom needed planned air supply, return air, filtration, and room pressure control.
Daily cleaning and maintenance had to be easier: Walls, ceilings, doors, floors, and work surfaces needed smooth and easy-clean materials.
Cleanroom Solution
STJh Cleanroom provided a medical device cleanroom solution based on the client’s product type, cleanliness target, production process, personnel flow, material route, and available factory space. The cleanroom was planned as a multi-zone controlled production area to support assembly, inspection, packaging, and clean material handling.
The cleanroom uses modular wall panels, sealed doors, cleanroom windows, a clean ceiling system, HEPA filtration, FFU units, and controlled airflow design. The layout separates clean and non-clean areas while keeping personnel and material routes clear.
The personnel entrance includes gowning space and air shower access. Materials are transferred through pass boxes and controlled transfer routes. Inside the cleanroom, stainless steel worktables, clean storage racks, material carts, inspection benches, and packaging stations were arranged to support efficient daily operation.
Key Cleanroom Systems
1. Modular Wall And Ceiling System
The cleanroom uses modular wall panels and a cleanroom ceiling system to create a smooth, enclosed, and easy-clean production space. The modular structure supports fast installation and future adjustment.
Modular cleanroom wall panels
Cleanroom ceiling system
Smooth surfaces and sealed joints
Suitable for medical device clean production areas
2. HVAC And Airflow System
The cleanroom airflow system was planned according to room layout, cleanliness target, operator quantity, and process requirements. Clean air supply, return air, fresh air, exhaust air, and room pressure control were considered together.
Clean air supply planning
Return air and exhaust air design
Air change rate planning according to process requirements
Stable airflow for clean production operation
3. HEPA Filtration And FFU System
HEPA filters and FFU units were configured to help reduce airborne particles inside the cleanroom. The system can be arranged according to ISO 7–ISO 8 cleanliness requirements and local high-cleanliness workstation needs.
HEPA filter clean air supply
FFU units for local clean air control
Ceiling-mounted filtration layout
Suitable for medical component assembly and packaging areas
4. Pressure Control System
Room pressure control helps maintain cleanroom separation between different functional areas. Positive pressure can help prevent unfiltered air from entering the clean production area from surrounding rooms.
Positive pressure cleanroom design
Pressure difference between clean and non-clean areas
Clean corridor and production room pressure planning
Reduced risk of outside air entering clean areas
5. Personnel Entry And Gowning System
A gowning room and personnel entry route were planned before operators enter the clean production area. This helps standardize cleanroom entry and reduce contamination from clothing, hair, and general workshop exposure.
Personnel changing and gowning area
Cleanroom garment preparation
Controlled personnel entry route
Cleaner transition from general area to cleanroom area
6. Air Shower System
The air shower was used at the personnel entrance to help remove loose particles from operators before they enter the cleanroom. It supports better personnel contamination control for medical device production areas.
Personnel air shower entrance
High-velocity filtered air blowing
Interlocked cleanroom access doors
Reduced particle carry-in from operators
7. Material Transfer And Pass Box System
Pass boxes were installed for material transfer between different areas. This allows components, tools, packaging materials, and finished products to move into or out of the cleanroom with less unnecessary personnel traffic.
Static or dynamic pass box options
Double-door transfer design
Cleaner material transfer route
Reduced unnecessary door opening and personnel movement
8. Clean Workstation And Assembly System
The assembly area includes stainless steel worktables, clean workstations, product trays, clean storage racks, and material carts. The layout supports medical component assembly, inspection, and handling without making the production area crowded.
