I'm trying to set up a production line in a clean room. The products are sealed in the clean room and are passed out to an 'outer clean room' to be packed into cardboard boxes. I want the position of the lines to be flexible in case we need to move them in the future.
I want to be able to pass the sealed product out to the outer room as directly as possible so where I position a hatch or similar pass through option is critical. So I was thinking is it possible to have a continuous opening the full length of the cleanroom. That way I could put the lines wherever I wanted and move them easily in the future.
Anyone any ideas?

The cleanrooms may be divided into two areas: the critical area, which is that part of the cleanroom where contamination can gain direct access to the production area, and the general area, which consists of the rest of the clean room. So you should make sure your critical area is under control, and if you want to enlarge your general area is not a bad idea, but you must balance the cost and the benefit first.

There are few options for the cleanroom pass throughs.

Firstly, the pass-through hatch usually apply in those critical cleanroom and for moving small items.

Secondly, you could have a pass-through room or the air lock room, it is a small space room with 2 doors opposite each other. This usually convenient for transfering bigger items with trolleys or carts. Another option would be placing the cleanroom approved plastic air curtains instead of a solid door on one site (facing the cleanroom), this would be much more convenient for the transport operation and normally apply for those less critical cleanroom such as the ISO Class-7 (Fed209E-Class 10k).

The cleanroom process flow and layout is important factors to ensure the smoothness of the traffic flow and the same time maintain a good cleanroom control.
