The total time consists of the delivery time (in stock vs. custom) and pure assembly. Due to the modular aluminum construction, an average cleanroom cabin (e.g. 50 m²) is on site within 2 to 5 days fully built. Since there are no construction chemical drying times, the ISO class can be validated immediately after final assembly.
The time to operational readiness (“time-to-production”) at Nordair Systems is drastically shorter than in traditional plant engineering, as we rely on physical dry assembly Set. A conventional cleanroom cabin made of plasterboard or mortared elements requires chemical curing times (drying of putty, paint, silicone). An aluminum-based Nordair system is bolted together. There are no “wet” processes. A team of two fitters is constructing a 50 m² cabin purely mechanically in 2 to 4 working days.
The most common bottleneck during installation is not the scaffolding, but the wiring. To eliminate electrician hours, our filter fan units (FFUs) and LED panels use a standardized Cold device plug logic. The components are inserted into the ceiling and immediately connected to the prepared electrical network. No complex PLC programming is required on site. As soon as the plug is in place, the turbine runs.
Ready for use technically means: “Specification met.” After mechanical completion, initial start-up takes place. Thanks to the high air change rate, Nordair cabins reach the so-called Recovery Time (Recovery time: Particle load reduced by a factor of 100) often in less than 20 minutes after switching on. Since hardly any particles are generated during assembly (no grinding, no sawing), particle measurement and validation in accordance with ISO 14644-1 can often be carried out on the day of completion.
