A modular cleanroom, also referred to as a portable cleanroom or mobile cleanroom, is an example of a controlled environment that can benefit your business processes. However, there are some variations between cleanrooms and controlled environments that make them different.
The main difference between a cleanroom and a controlled environment is how the room is regulated – controlled environments prioritise atmospheric factors such as temperature, pressure, and humidity whereas a cleanroom prioritises more complex regulations relating to decontamination and filtration.
Modular cleanrooms are essentially the same as a standard cleanroom, except for the fact that they are self-contained and can be temporarily installed into your business – an ideal solution when space and timescales are an issue!
So, why might you opt for a modular cleanroom for your business or industry? The MTCSS experts are here to explain.
What Is The Difference Between a Standard and Modular Cleanroom?
The biggest difference between a modular cleanroom and a standard cleanroom is that a modular cleanroom can be moved – it is portable! This means that your modular cleanroom can fit both your site and business requirements as and when required.
However, there are some further differences.
Modular Cleanrooms are Prefabricated:
The name modular means that the cleanroom has been manufactured in sections ready to assemble on site.
Standard cleanrooms, on the other hand, need to be constructed traditionally by engineers – potentially disrupting your site and creating an eyesore until they are completed.
Faster Installation:
Because of their prefabricated structure, modular cleanrooms can be rapidly installed due to being fully integrated upon delivery, eliminating the need for a fully engineered installation!
A standard cleanroom, on the other hand, requires a full installation from engineers and will take much longer to install due to it requiring a full assembly in order to achieve your specific parameters.
Available For Rental:
Modular cleanrooms are available for rental due to their portable nature. A standard cleanroom on the other hand cannot be rented due to the installation and integration work it requires within your business.
If you’re looking for a portable, flexible cleanroom solution for your business then a modular cold room could be ideal for you!
Why Might My Business Need a Modular Cleanroom?
There are several reasons why a business may require a cleanroom, but the most common reason is to ensure your environmental parameters are controlled and regulated to sustain your product quality.
Cleanrooms are commonly used within the pharmaceutical and medical industries; however, you don’t always need to be within these industries to invest in a cleanroom…
Many manufacturing and production businesses, as well as testing industries, benefit from a cleanroom due to the high levels of control and elimination of contamination – such as skincare brands or new product trials.
Why Choose a Modular Cleanroom?
There are many reasons why your business should invest in a modular cleanroom. The main benefits that a modular cleanroom can provide for your business include…
1) Financial Flexibility – No long-term commitment
One of the largest benefits to investing in a modular cleanroom is the financial flexibility that is offered. Especially within the current economy, saving money and keeping costs down as a business is essential.
By investing in a modular cleanroom from MTCSS, you have no long-term commitment to your modular cleanroom. Perhaps you only require it for a year for a project you’re doing, or maybe you require it for five years – no matter the timespan, we have a solution for you.
Offering rental agreements on our modular cold rooms allows our customers to benefit their business and processes to fit their requirements, so you can choose how long you’d like your modular cleanroom for.
Not only this but compared with a conventional cleanroom construction and installation, the cost of a modular cleanroom is much less because it is pre-engineered and doesn’t require a full team for labour.
This financial flexibility can help you to continue with your business processes, just at a lower cost spread out across your rental term! For more information about our rental agreements please contact our experts here.
2) Bespoke, Flexible, and Agile Design
Another large benefit to modular cleanrooms is that they have a flexible, bespoke design – meaning you can have it constructed in a way that works best for your business!
These modular cleanrooms can have internally configured segregated areas, allowing you to control separate products with separate conditions, and they also fully adhere to ISO classifications from Class 9 up to Class 4.
3) Plug and Play
Due to the modular construction, modular cleanrooms are a plug-and-play concept. This means that once delivered, it needs only a simple and quick installation before it’s ready to use!
Because modular cleanrooms are delivered to your site fully integrated and ready to use from the get-go, they are less complex and easier to install compared to a standard cleanroom installation.
They can also connect to an existing facility that you may already have, are self-supported and don’t require any additional structural support.
Modular cleanrooms also have other benefits, including:
4) Minimising on-site disruption – due to the lack of installation works required
5) Having everything you need – including HVAC, electrics, lighting, plumbing and monitoring
6) Compliance – all modular cleanrooms from MTCSS are GDP/MHRA compliant
7) Accessibility – having a modular cleanroom on site increases availability and offers better returns on investment
8) Portability – it isn’t a fixed installation so can be moved to suit your requirements
