Australian ISO7 Medical Device Modular Cleanroom
2026-05-19
Plastic technology research and development often involves precision molding, optical components, medical device components, and advanced material development. These processes require controlled environments to minimize airborne contamination while managing electrostatic discharge generated during plastic processing.
For a technology center in Jaén Province, Spain, Airkey designed and delivered a 32㎡ ISO Class 7 modular cleanroom using the Light Series. The solution combines ESD protection, H14 HEPA filtration, controlled personnel and material flow, and a flexible modular structure for plastic technology research and precision manufacturing applications.

The customer is a Spanish national technology center specializing in plastic technology. Its activities include the development and design of automotive lighting systems, research into recyclable food-contact plastics, new material development, product engineering, and prototyping.
The facility therefore requires controlled environments capable of supporting precision plastic processing and R&D activities involving sensitive components and materials.
Critical applications such as automotive optical lens coating, lens injection molding, and medical device components that contact the human body may require ISO Class 7 or higher cleanroom conditions.
The project therefore uses an ISO Class 7 controlled environment to support contamination-sensitive plastic technology processes.
Plastic processing can generate static electricity, which may attract airborne dust and affect precision components.
The cleanroom incorporates anti-static materials to address electrostatic discharge risks while maintaining visibility and operational control inside the facility.
Personnel follow controlled entry procedures including changing, shoe replacement, and air shower processes before entering the clean area.
Anti-static cleanroom garments, gloves, and masks are also used.
Materials are cleaned and outer packaging is removed before entering the controlled environment through buffer areas or pass-through chambers equipped with air showers.
The main frame uses solid aluminum alloy profiles to provide structural strength while allowing the cleanroom to remain self-supporting and freestanding.
This modular structure provides installation flexibility without relying on the existing building structure.
The wall panels are constructed from transparent anti-static acrylic sheets.
This solution provides ESD protection while maintaining high visibility of internal operations, making it suitable for R&D environments where equipment and production processes need to remain visible from outside the cleanroom.
The modular ceiling incorporates evenly distributed FFUs together with an integrated LED lighting system.
The lighting system provides an illumination level of more than 800 Lux, supporting detailed inspection and precision R&D work.
Airkey implemented dedicated traffic routes for personnel and materials.
The system includes:
This separation helps systematically remove surface-attached particles from personnel and incoming materials before they enter the clean area.
A demountable wall panel was installed at the cargo air shower location to accommodate the customer's current space limitations.
During the current phase, the area functions as a closed wall. If the cleanroom is relocated to a larger facility in the future, the same area can be converted into a buffer cargo air shower.
The modular structure can therefore be disassembled and reconstructed at another location without damaging the main system, helping protect the customer's equipment investment.
The cleanroom uses EC energy-saving FFUs equipped with H14 HEPA filters.
The system is designed to maintain stable ISO Class 7 cleanliness. An intelligent control panel enables centralized group control of the FFUs while also allowing individual adjustment of each FFU's fan speed.

Before shipment, Airkey carried out comprehensive testing of the cleanroom system.
Key parameters including cleanliness, airflow velocity, and illuminance passed Airkey's performance validation before delivery.
This factory testing approach helps verify system performance before the modular cleanroom reaches the customer's site.
The completed ISO 7 modular cleanroom provides a controlled environment for plastic technology R&D in Spain, combining contamination control with ESD protection and flexible modular construction.
The combination of anti-static transparent walls, H14 HEPA filtration, dedicated personnel and material purification, and a demountable modular structure allows the cleanroom to support current R&D requirements while retaining flexibility for future relocation and expansion.
This project uses an ISO Class 7 cleanroom with a total area of 32㎡.
Plastic processing can generate static electricity that attracts dust. Anti-static materials help reduce this risk in environments handling precision components.
The cleanroom uses H14 HEPA filters integrated into EC FFUs to maintain stable ISO Class 7 cleanliness.
Yes. The modular design allows the structure to be disassembled and reconstructed at another facility. The project also incorporates a demountable wall that can be converted into a cargo air shower after relocation.
Airkey performed pre-shipment testing covering cleanliness, airflow velocity, and illuminance to validate system performance before delivery.
Airkey designs and manufactures modular cleanrooms for plastic technology, automotive lighting, optical component manufacturing, medical devices, electronics, and precision R&D.
Our factory-prefabricated systems can be customized according to cleanliness requirements, ESD protection, production workflow, material handling, and future expansion needs.
