Transpack Medical provides assembly, packing and sterilisation of medical devices to customers’ specifications. As part of its ongoing expansion, the company has moved to a 1,022m2 facility with an ISO14644-1: 1999 Class 7 cleanroom and packing area suite with a 279m² mezzanine storage level above.
The modular construction of the Toledo partitioning was an important advantage as the cleanroom layout has a number of awkward corners and angles and has been sub-divided to create additional areas such as a changing room and tube cutting room. Airlocks, consisting of two sets of double doors and transfer hatches, which allow trolleys to be pushed in and out of the area, are also included in the design.
“Because of its modular design, the system is very versatile which makes it easy to adapt to the required layout, both in new premises and in older facilities where we may have to alter the design to fit within an existing layout,” said Avanta UK’s Andrew Chipp. “Clients also like the system as it offers them the flexibility to extend or alter the cleanroom layout in the future with minimal disruption and cost.” The Toledo partitioning is of a steel, monobloc construction and uses an inert and non-particle shedding infill finish. To prevent the collection of particles and to ensure easy to clean, smooth surfaces, Toledo is coated in powder paint and has a two-line panel junction and flush line double-glazing, resulting in minimal ledges and corners.
Avanta has also used Toledo partitioning to create a dust-free office suite for SCA Hygiene Products at its factory in Prudhoe, Northumberland.
