leanrooms are an integral component of many scientifi c applications,
allowing valuable research to be conducted in a wholly sterile environment. T e rooms and the equipment used inside them are big business. A recent report estimates that the global cleanroom technology market will grow to US$3.83 billion over the next fi ve years. Here we showcase some of the companies thriving in this busy sector. One well-known player
in the market is Connect 2 Cleanrooms, which creates modular cleanroom solutions for critical environments, both in the UK and internationally.
T e company designs and manufactures panel, hard and soft wall cleanrooms in-house and delivers solutions to meet the ISO 14644-1 standard required; adherence to which is frequently necessary for lab- based applications Senior business development
co-ordinator, Andrew Cressey, explains that the fi rm’s recently introduced panel system is diff erent from other solutions in the range. “T e panels provide a fl ush fi nish that off ers a robust solution with reduced particle retention. T e panel system complements the existing range, off ering increased customer choice for the laboratory sector.
Reliable measurement in cleanrooms
R
otronic’s new CRP5 Clean Room Panel is fi tted with a diaphragm
sensor and is validated according to GMP directives. Its maker says that its well thought-out design makes the CRP5 ideal for applications in laboratories and cleanrooms. The CRP5 clean-room panel is a valuable tool wherever a high degree of cleanliness is vital, in addition to precise measurement of diff erential pressure, humidity and temperature. Optical buttons, and the magnet- mounted, removable HC2-CRP humidity and temperature probe permit effi cient and eff ective cleaning. Up to six measurement values and messages can be
displayed via its graphical colour display. The colours of the display can be adjusted individually. Alarms – such as faults, exceeded limit values or warnings – are highlighted on the CRP5 display, and can also be forwarded digitally via
MODBUS, Ethernet or relays. Thanks to its analogue and digital communication capabilities, the CRP5 is easy to integrate in any monitoring system. The new panel
is used particularly in cleanrooms
in hospitals, in the
pharmaceutical, electronics, and foodstuff s industries, and wherever small variances in pressure are monitored. Its
comprehensive functional capabilities
provide solutions for many measurement and control tasks.
