Printing Device - Complete Cleanroom Assessment
See exactly what CleanroomIQ delivers. Four connected analyses for a printing device with strict contamination requirements.
The scenario
A mid-size printing device manufacturer is experiencing a 2% scrap rate due to particle contamination on print heads during assembly. They need to determine the right cleanroom class, evaluate their current facility, justify the investment, and set up monitoring.
Product Risk Analysis
What cleanroom class does this product require?Input parameters
| Product name | Printing device |
| Large critical particle size | ≥ 25 µm |
| Max particles per product | 3 |
| Acceptable on (% of products) | 100% |
| Vulnerable product area | 10 cm² |
| Time of exposure | 2 hours |
Results
- Improve cleaning program (method, execution, frequency)
- Optimize gowning and entree programme (garment selection, changing procedure)
- Enhance transfer of goods program
- Strengthen personnel training
Cleanroom Assessment
Does the current cleanroom meet the requirements?Cleanroom specifications
| Cleanroom area | 50 m² |
| Cleanroom height | 3 m |
| Air supply | 5000 m³/h |
| Ventilation efficiency | 0.7 |
| Garment level | Standard |
| Maximum personnel | 3 |
| Activity level | Medium activity |
Cleanroom gap detected
Your cleanroom falls 1.5 ISO classes short of what this product requires.
Detailed analysis
| Air changes/hour | 23 |
| Air cleanliness C5 | 5,143 particles ≥ 5 µm/m³ |
| Applied source strength | 300,000 particles ≥ 5 µm |
Garment upgrade potential
Upgrading to Advanced would reduce C5 by 80.0%, achieving ISO 7.0
Recommendations
- Upgrade garment level to Advanced
- Increase air supply
- Consider process location enclosure
