Our clean room is engineered to meet the highest industry standards, offering contamination control through our carefully maintained industrial clean room environment. Our facilities operate in compliance with ISO 14644 classifications, ensuring that airborne particulate levels are regulated and consistently maintained within defined limits. Advanced filtration systems, including HEPA and ULPA technologies, are integrated to achieve optimal air purity, while rigorous environmental monitoring guarantees adherence to critical cleanliness parameters.
The integration of advanced clean room facilities within manufacturing environments is important for achieving stringent contamination control, particularly in high-precision industries such as aerospace, medical device production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Our clean room services are designed to integrate with diverse manufacturing workflows, offering flexibility for sub-assembly, kitting, and final inspection processes. This approach not only supports standalone cleaning requirements but also enhances supply chain efficiency by consolidating quality assurance protocols within a single, controlled environment.
Types of Cleaning Services
To meet the needs of our customers, we offer a range of cleaning solutions beyond ultrasonic cleaning, each suited to specific applications and material types.
Clean Room Cleaning in the Wider Manufacturing Process
A component’s journey through our clean room services is meticulously planned to maximise efficiency and quality. The clean room can serve as an independent service within the broader manufacturing process or integrate seamlessly into sub-assembly and kitting operations.
Typical Stages Include:
- Pre-Cleaning Assessment: Evaluating the component’s condition and contamination level.
- Cleaning and Degreasing: Using ultrasonic or solvent-based methods depending on material and application requirements.
- Inspection and Quality Verification: Applying rigorous testing to verify that contaminants are fully eliminated.
- Packaging and Kitting: Assembling cleaned components into kits, labelled and documented for full traceability.
William Hughes offers clean room services as a standalone solution, allowing customers to benefit from precision cleaning regardless of whether they source components from us. This flexibility supports our commitment to serving various industries, from aerospace to medical manufacturing, with unparalleled expertise.
Inspection and Quality Assurance Tests within the Clean Room
At William Hughes, we recognise the importance of managing the environmental impact of all our manufacturing processes, including those of the clean room. As such, our facility has been engineered to minimise both ecological impact and resource consumption while maintaining the highest standards of contamination control. This commitment to sustainability is engineered throughout our cleanroom services.
Advanced Air Filtration and Recirculation
Our clean room is equipped with state-of-the-art High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and Ultra-Low Penetration Air (ULPA) filtration systems, capable of capturing up to 99.999% of airborne particles as small as 0.12 micrometres. These systems not only ensure stringent compliance with ISO 14644 cleanliness standards but also incorporate air recirculation technology to minimise energy consumption.
Our commitment to environmental best practices extends to chemical lifecycle management, which includes sourcing agents from suppliers adhering to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. This ensures traceability and compliance throughout the entire supply chain, from procurement to waste disposal.
Energy Efficiency and Resource Conservation
The clean room’s infrastructure is optimised for energy efficiency, incorporating smart HVAC systems with variable-speed drives that dynamically adjust to changes in occupancy and operational demands. This reduces power consumption while maintaining optimal environmental parameters. Additionally, low-energy LED lighting and occupancy sensors are integrated throughout the facility to further reduce unnecessary energy use.
Quality Assurance and Accreditation
Our clean room services are designed to meet stringent international standards, ensuring quality and traceability at every stage. Key certifications and standards include:
- ISO 14644: Compliance with the international standard for clean room classifications and air cleanliness.
- AS9100: Aerospace Quality Management System certification, demonstrating our commitment to high-precision standards.
- ISO/TS 16949: The latest automotive standard
- ISO 9001: Quality management certification for consistent and reliable service delivery.
