Energy efficiency - energy analysis of cleanrooms
The general objectives of energy management are to increase economic efficiency and optimize building use while minimizing the use of resources to protect the environment and reduce consumption costs. So much for the definition. However, energy management is more than that, from the overarching strategic concept to the specific action in the property and facility. The core ideas are to improve economic efficiency [...]
Dressing in the cleanroom-How easy and safe can it be?
The step away from the classics of cleanroom clothing towards models such as the top-down coverall, which provide the best possible balance between comfort when dressing, contamination control and time expenditure, can be decisive for product safety. The presentation will answer the following questions: Which wearing systems are possible? Which overall concepts are up to date? What is the difference in terms of contamination risk? [...]
Solving Cleanroom Challenges: A New Generation of Garments
Goggle fogging, exceeding microbial limits due to sweating, CO2 build-up in garments, and cross-contamination risks from improper gowning or behavior-these challenges have long been seen as inevitable. But we believe it's time to redefine the status quo. Cleanroom operators and the industry deserve a new generation of garments that tackle these issues head-on. By enhancing [...]
Cleanroom personnel
There are various types of contamination in cleanrooms that need to be avoided. The presentation will define and describe the different types of contamination. In addition, the main source of all contamination - humans - will be discussed. Furthermore, rules of conduct that cleanroom personnel should observe in order to avoid contamination are described. Finally, [...]
Flow meters - Do they always have to be expensive?
In measurement technology, especially in hygienic applications, the balance between necessary technology and cost control is crucial. Accuracy and cleanability are often critical factors. Choosing the appropriate flow measurement method is therefore challenging, as each method has specific advantages and disadvantages and requires precise measurements. Highly accurate devices tend to be more expensive, while less accurate devices can be less expensive. [...]
Resilient industrial water management
Reliable water treatment is essential for production safety in the pharmaceutical industry. Water shortages can have a significant impact on production capacity. Intelligent industrial water management based on proven process technologies is therefore crucial. The presentation will shed light on how modern technologies and processes can optimize water treatment and wastewater treatment. Practical examples and methods for increasing efficiency and reducing costs will be presented. Another focus is on [...]
Safe production processes through molecular filtration
In the life science segment, various substances are handled that have to master different tasks. However, the challenge lies in ensuring the production process as well as product purity. The problem with the use of different substances lies in their possible subsequent effects or side reactions, which can be detrimental to the process, the employee or the product itself [...].
Mastering large particles in the process
By using measuring systems with grazing light, measuring the contamination of a workpiece or the environment is greatly simplified. By implementing a control system on the shop floor, organizations can effectively monitor, control and improve the quality objective of cleanliness. Process control provides a data-driven approach to consistently maintain cleanliness levels within specified limits, minimize the risk of [...]...
Efficient filter systems ensure compliance with HACCP principles
The supply of room air in the life science industry and the food and beverage industry can cause "biological contamination". In the medical technology, pharmaceutical and food technology production areas, a great deal of effort is put into hygiene. Especially in the life science industry and food and beverage industry, the reduction of germ concentration is of substantial importance. Because [...]
Clean room for medical products
Medical device manufacturing and cleanrooms very often go hand in hand. What constitutes a medical device and an in vitro diagnostic medical device is precisely defined in the two EU regulations. After a transitional period, the Medical Devices Act was replaced by the Medical Devices Regulation in May 2021 and the In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation in May 2022. What has changed for installers of cleanroom systems? What are the [...]
