Explore how G-CON’s modular solutions can transform your manufacturing capabilities, ensuring elevated compliance, efficiency, and scalability in a dynamic market.

How Cleanrooms Maintain Air Quality

Our cleanroom solutions achieve uncompromised air quality through state-of-the-art filtration and meticulous environmental controls. By employing advanced HEPA and ULPA filters within unidirectional laminar airflow systems, our facilities actively expel airborne particles and secure an environment where every production detail is safeguarded.

Advanced Filtration Technologies

In our modular cleanrooms, pre-installed HEPA filters capture 99.97% of particles above 0.3 microns while ULPA filters deliver even higher efficiency, removing 99.9995% of particles above 0.12 microns. These robust systems renew a constant flow of purified air, ensuring that your manufacturing processes remain pristine and compliant.

Comprehensive Contamination Controls

We regulate air quality by directing controlled, unidirectional airflow to minimize turbulence and isolate critical zones. Positive pressure environments ward off external contaminants, while strategically managed negative pressures support specialized containment needs. Additionally, rigorous material handling and personnel protocols—enforced through strict gowning procedures and air showers—further reduce particulate intrusions.

Dynamic Environmental Monitoring

Continuous monitoring through integrated Building Management Systems (BMS) and Environmental Monitoring Systems (EMS) provides real-time feedback on particle counts and microbial levels. Such active surveillance ensures adherence to ISO 14644-1 classifications and meets demanding GMP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 standards without compromise.

G-CON’s Modular Advantage

Our standardPOD, mobilisPOD, and megaPOD configurations incorporate advanced HVAC solutions and automated monitoring, enabling rapid, scalable deployment. By uniting cutting-edge filtration with modular design, we deliver turnkey cleanroom environments that preserve product integrity and elevate operational readiness.

Understanding Cleanroom Classifications

Our cleanrooms are engineered to control airborne particles with precision. We adhere to international standards such as ISO 14644 and pharmaceutical GMP guidelines, which rigorously define environmental parameters for industries like biopharma, semiconductors, and aerospace.

ISO 14644 – Defining Air Cleanliness

ISO 14644-1 establishes limits for airborne particle concentration, categorizing environments from ISO Class 1 to ISO Class 9. For instance, ISO 5 environments—ideal for aseptic processing and semiconductor lithography—allow a maximum of 3,520 particles (≥0.5µm) per cubic meter. In contrast, ISO 7 and 8 settings serve pharmaceutical compounding and general manufacturing, respectively.

GMP Standards in Cleanroom Design

Guidelines such as EU GMP Annex 1 and FDA 21 CFR Part 211 delineate critical environments — Grade A, B, C, and D — to control microbial and particulate risks. For example, Grade A is synonymous with critical aseptic filling zones, while Grades B through D accommodate less critical stages in production.
