How To Package Cleanroom Equipment For Shipping
First, a quick overview of how we package equipment for shipping while following cleanroom protocols:
- Clean all surfaces inside and out with cleanroom wipes and a mixture of de-ionized water and isopropyl alcohol.
- Wrap each part in 2-3 layers of approved material and either tape or heat-seal the material.
- Carefully inventory everything and properly pack in cleanroom boxes, bins, totes or wood crates.
- Triple-bag large items such as machine modules with 2 layers of cleanroom film and 1 layer of a vapor barrier material such as foil.
- Evacuate the excess air and seal the bags with desiccant inside.
- Secure product in place using custom-made shipping brackets, steel strapping, or blocking and bracing.
- Assemble crates around product and strap both vertically and horizontally or properly box and palletize depending on size, weight, and shipping destination.
- Properly label completed package with standard international shipping labels, shock labels, tilt labels, and shipping address.
