With a view to minimising the costs associated with manufacturing to GMP air standards, Connect2Cleanrooms has introduced HEPA-lite, a mobile, adjustable cleanroom unit which can be fitted at mission-critical elements of the manufacturing process line. It provides localised filtered air to protect processes from contamination, without the need to enclose the entire machine set-up within a cleanroom environment.
Managing director of Connect 2 Cleanrooms, Joe Govier, said “We wanted to help manufacturers to overcome the significant time and cost barriers associated with creating a Class 5-9 environment or ISO 14644-1 compliant production line, thereby creating opportunities to bid for a wider range of work.
“HEPA-lite can easily be fitted over mission-critical manufacturing processes to deliver the required air purity standards – removing the need for the entire production line to be contained within a cleanroom environment. The product can also help manufacturers gain greater competitive advantage through advanced process control.”
HEPA-lite has been through a strategic development process and is the result of solutions-focused research by Connect 2 Cleanrooms, which aims to create products that will solve real-life problems for customers.
The modular system is designed with the ultimate flexibility in mind. Low, braked castors and angle-adjustable legs make the product easy to slide under machinery and the C-frame itself is built bespoke to requirements. Its minimal footprint makes it ideal for workspaces where space is at a premium.
HEPA-lite is ideal for use on injection moulding machines, for example protecting the mould area, and can be adapted for use on conveyor systems and process and flow lines. It is expected to be particularly attractive to manufactures in healthcare, pharmaceutical and food sectors, for both product and packaging.
