Airkey, a leading Chinese cleanroom technology specialist, has successfully implemented a state-of-the-art modular cleanroom solution for an automotive parts manufacturer in Lithuania. This innovative installation combines rapid deployment capabilities with advanced energy-saving features, specifically designed for the precision requirements of modern auto component production.
Project specifications & key innovations
1. Precision structural design
- Aluminum alloy framework: high-strength, lightweight structure with superior corrosion resistance
- Sandwich panel walls: optimised thermal insulation and particulate containment
- Double-sided tempered glass windows: 50mm thickness with airtight silicone sealing for visibility and contamination control
- Airlock room: a buffer zone to prevent direct airflow exchange between clean and less-clean areas.
- Roll-up door: fast transfer of large materials and equipment
2. Advanced contamination control
- Full perimeter coving system: radiused transitions between walls/ceilings/floors eliminate dust accumulation points
- PVC floor integration: unique 2mm recessed base frame allows seamless floor-to-wall transition
- Recirculating FFU system (RFU): 15% energy savings through optimised airflow recycling
3. Rapid deployment advantage
- Factory pre-assembly verification: complete dry-run installation prior to shipment
- Plug-and-play components: all elements prefabricated to millimetre precision
- 1-day installation: 3-person team completes assembly (31m² cleanroom)
Compliance with automotive industry standards
- IATF 16949: meets automotive quality management system requirements
- ISO 14644-8:2022: Classification of airborne molecular contamination
- VDI 2083: cleanroom technology standards for automotive applications
- EU machinery directive 2006/42/EC: safety compliance for industrial installations
Customer benefits
