ISO6 / 8 Malaysia Semiconductor Modular Cleanroom
2026-03-12
Neutron generators are used in nuclear technology, scientific research, industrial inspection, and medical applications. Manufacturing these systems involves precision assembly, vacuum encapsulation, high-voltage insulation, and radioactive source handling, all of which require strict environmental control.
Even microscopic airborne particles, electrostatic discharge (ESD), or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can compromise insulation performance, damage sensitive components, or reduce product reliability.
To support these demanding manufacturing requirements, Airkey designed and delivered a customized ISO Class 6 modular cleanroom for a leading neutron technology company in China, creating a stable production environment that meets ISO 14644 standards.
Airkey supplied a turnkey modular cleanroom solution for neutron generator manufacturing, designed to provide precise environmental control throughout critical production processes.
The project combines modular construction, precision HVAC, EC Fan Filter Units (FFUs), and intelligent airflow management to maintain stable cleanliness, temperature, and humidity conditions.

The completed cleanroom supports high-precision manufacturing while enabling future expansion through its modular design.
The customer is Zhongke Shijin (Guangdong) Neutron Technology Co., Ltd., a company specializing in neutron source technology and advanced neutron generator development.
Supported by the FDS Consortium and an academic research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the company is recognized as one of China's few commercial enterprises with world-class neutron source technologies.
Neutron generator production requires several contamination-sensitive processes that demand precise environmental control.
During vacuum encapsulation, microscopic particles can trigger high-voltage discharge and insulation failure.
High-voltage component assembly requires strict electrostatic protection because ESD can permanently damage ultra-thin insulation layers and microelectrodes.
The tritium loading process requires controlled containment to minimize the risk of radioactive gas dispersion.
In addition, potting and encapsulation processes depend on stable temperature and humidity to ensure proper curing and prevent structural defects.
These challenges make ISO Class 6 cleanrooms an essential part of neutron generator manufacturing.
Airkey developed a fully customized modular cleanroom engineered specifically for neutron generator production.
The cleanroom combines tempered glass observation walls with insulated steel sandwich panels, providing both structural strength and clear process visibility.
Dedicated personnel air showers and material pass-through chambers create effective contamination barriers between clean and non-clean areas, reducing particle transfer during production.
To maintain stable ISO Class 6 cleanliness, the system incorporates Airkey's high-capacity EC Fan Filter Units (FFUs), delivering energy-efficient, low-noise airflow throughout the workspace.
A precision HVAC system integrated with a return air wall maintains tight temperature and humidity control while balancing airflow distribution across the production area.
Compared with conventional construction, Airkey's modular cleanroom provides faster installation, easier expansion, and greater flexibility for future production upgrades.
Factory-prefabricated components reduce on-site construction time while improving installation quality and consistency.
The integrated clean air system, environmental control, and modular architecture help manufacturers maintain stable production conditions, improve product consistency, and comply with ISO 14644 cleanroom requirements.
Following installation, the cleanroom successfully passed comprehensive on-site cleanliness testing and achieved full project acceptance.
