Softwall Cleanrooms

Softwall Portable Cleanroom Styles from Clean Air Products

We offer two primary styles of softwall portable cleanrooms: the CAP577F and the CAP575. Both of these portable cleanrooms are lightweight, easy to assemble, and available from Class 100,000 (ISO 8) to Class 10 (ISO 4), making them the ideal solution for mobile particle quality control.

Vertical Flow Softwall Portable Cleanroom CAP577F

The CAP577F softwall cleanroom is a lightweight and highly versatile clean room system that provides high-quality particulate control. CAP577F cleanrooms typically operate as positive pressure enclosures but can also be used as negative pressure containment areas to HEPA filter all the outgoing room air.

Vertical Flow Modular Softwall Cleanroom CAP575

The CAP575 softwall cleanroom is very similar to the CAP577F, providing an easy-to-assemble and cost-effective particulate control enclosure solution. The key difference is that the CAP575 offers a sturdier design, which allows the cleanroom to be built longer and taller than the CAP577F without compromising structural integrity.

Custom Modular Softwall Cleanrooms

We also offer custom modular softwall cleanrooms to meet nearly any customer's requirements. If your application requires a softwall clean room with nonstandard dimensions, special features, or other unique options, we can provide a custom laminar flow softwall cleanroom that matches your specifications.

Modular Softwall Cleanroom Design, Size, & Classification Options

We offer a full range of classifications and standard sizes, as well as custom softwall cleanrooms to match your unique specifications. The most popular classifications range from Class 100,000 (ISO 8) to Class 10 (ISO 4). Our plastic cleanrooms maintain negative air pressure by using an airtight design that filters air out, creating higher pressure outside the room.
Standard sizes for softwall clean room enclosures range from 4-feet by 4-feet up to 24-feet by 36-feet. Larger sizes or nonstandard dimensions can be designed and built to meet any space requirements. Because of their modular design, our softwall clean rooms can be expanded or reduced in size without disassembling the entire cleanroom.

Benefits of Our Softwall Portable Cleanrooms

Clean Air Products' standard softwall cleanrooms provide a number of benefits and advantages that make them an effective solution for any clean-critical application.

• High functionality
• Low cost
• Durable yet lightweight
• Modular designs for easy assembly and disassembly
• Easy to reconfigure or expand
• Portable and easy to relocate
• Two mounting options (freestanding or ceiling-hung)
• Ideal for smaller spaces
• Use of negative air pressure

Unique Modular Cleanroom Construction

The basic building block of our modular design is the ceiling grid framework. Made up of tubular steel beams with T-bar cross members, this interlocking ceiling grid system enables easy assembly and expansion of the clean room. The ceiling is supported by tubular steel legs at each corner and reinforced with heavy-gauge, triangular steel gussets. The simple assembly process gives you the option to make these plastic cleanroom tents temporary and portable.

Powered HEPA filter units, lighting systems, and ceiling panels are sealed to the grid with gasket material.

Ceiling Height

Our softwall cleanroom enclosures are available with standard ceiling heights of 8, 9, or 10 feet. Various custom heights are available, depending on your unique application requirements. A two-inch minimum is required between the filter unit and the facility ceiling; standard filter unit height is 16 inches.

Cleanroom Size Considerations

Without a center support, the maximum size of Clean Air Products softwall clean rooms is 12 feet by 12 feet. Larger cleanrooms can be constructed with additional support legs within the structure. For example, a 16-foot by 20-foot clean room would require one internal support leg; a 20-foot by 32-foot softwall cleanroom would require three internal support legs.

Other options are available for clear spans without support posts. For example, ceiling-suspended modular cleanrooms eliminate the need for legs and columns altogether. A configuration like this allows for a clean room that can easily accommodate the equipment layout you need for maximum floor space utilization.

Modular Softwall Cleanroom Wall & Door Construction

The walls of our standard softwall cleanrooms are manufactured from clear, flame-retardant, 40mil thick vinyl. Low outgassing and static-dissipative materials are available upon request.
Most of our softwall clean rooms utilize vinyl strip doors for entry/exit doorways. Standard strip doors consist of eight-inch wide, 80mil thick strips with two-inch overlap. To enter or exit, simply push apart the strips; strips automatically reseal as they come back together. Strip doors are pre-assembled and easy to mount to the frame.
