Thanks to its aluminum profile system, the Nordair cleanroom cabin is infinitely scalable in terms of geometry and fluid mechanics. From 10 m² of starting area, complex process chains can be extended to over 200 m² by seamlessly integrating additional frame modules and filter fan units (FFU) into the existing infrastructure without jeopardizing the integrity of the existing ISO classes.
In contrast to conventional cleanroom construction (sandwich panels or drywall), which creates static final states, Nordair defines the cleanroom cabin as a dynamic asset. The basis is a high-strength aluminum structure with continuous system grooves. This allows a geometric extension of the footprint from an initial 10 m² to over 200 m² without the need for demolition work. New segments are force-fitted to the existing structure using central connectors (“docking principle”). This is essential for growing production lines where downtime due to construction measures is economically unacceptable.
Physical enlargement requires an adjustment of the flow mechanics. Since Nordair cabins are decentralized Filter Fan Units (FFUs) use, scales the air output linearly with the area. An extension simply involves installing new FFU grids in the ceiling area of the extension and integrating them electrically. There is no need for complex recalculation of central ventilation systems (RLT). This also makes it possible to create different cleanliness zones (e.g. ISO 5 in the core process, ISO 7 in the pre-area) within a coherent cabin structure.
Modularity is aimed not only at space, but at process logic. Thanks to the flexible wall design (Dibond, glass, laser protection), lock systems, material passages or conveyor belts can be retroactively integrated. In semiconductor manufacturing or photonics, linear process chains (“flow lines”) can be mapped in which the product slides from one cleanliness zone to the next without leaving the controlled environment.
