Cleanroom Hardware, Components & Architectural Systems
In addition to complete facility builds, ACH Engineering supplies individual cleanroom components for retrofits, maintenance, and facility expansions in Edmonton. Every component features smooth, non-shedding, chemical-resistant materials built to withstand aggressive sanitization protocols.
Cleanroom Wall Panels & Ceilings
- Demountable Cleanroom Walls: Flexible, reconfigurable demountable cleanroom walls designed to adapt as facility operations expand.
- Modular Wall Systems Commercial: Pre-engineered modular wall systems commercial builds featuring internal utility channels and smooth flush finishes.
- Framing & Panels: Non-corrosive aluminum cleanroom framing and durable steel cleanroom panels engineered for high impact resistance.
- Walkable Ceiling Systems: Structural load bearing cleanroom ceiling frameworks that allow top-side maintenance without disturbing cleanroom operations, alongside flush cleanroom ceiling grid assemblies.
Flush Cleanroom Doors & Vision Panels
- Cleanroom Doors: Heavy-duty single and double cleanroom doors with active interlock systems, perimeter gasket seals, and automated drop-down bottom seals.
- Flush Cleanroom Doors: Completely level flush cleanroom doors that eliminate ledges where bacteria and particulates accumulate.
- Cleanroom Windows: Double-glazed cleanroom windows(vision panels) mounted flush with wall surfaces, complete with desiccant systems to prevent internal fogging.
Contamination Airlocks, Flooring & Coving
- Cleanroom Air Shower: High-velocity cleanroom air shower corridors with adjustable HEPA nozzles to strip surface particulates from personnel before entry.
- Cleanroom Pass-Through Chambers: Stainless steel cleanroom pass through units and mechanically interlocked cleanroom pass box cabinets for safe, cross-contamination-free material transfer between rooms
- Epoxy Cleanroom Floor: Seamless, chemical-resistant epoxy cleanroom floor coatings and ESD-safe static-dissipative floor systems.
- Cleanroom Coving: Radiused cleanroom coving connecting wall-to-wall, wall-to-floor, and wall-to-ceiling transitions to eliminate 90-degree corners.
Cleanroom Furniture & Industrial Enclosures
- Cleanroom Gowning Bench: Ergonomic cleanroom gowning bench entry dividers separating restricted and non-restricted zones.
- Tables & Workbenches: Heavy-gauge stainless steel cleanroom table setups and modular cleanroom bench workstations.
- Sanitation Furniture: Hands-free cleanroom sink units, eyewash stations, and gowning storage casework.
- Acoustic Controls: Specialty acoustic enclosures, industrial soundproofing panels, modular sound booths, and noise barrier walls outdoor for heavy machinery sound attenuation.
Mechanical Engineering, HVAC & Air Filtration Solutions
Maintaining exact particulate counts and environmental parameters requires robust mechanical design. ACH Engineering provides complete mechanical engineering and replacement HVAC equipment:
Air Filtration & Workstations
- FFU Cleanroom (Fan Filter Unit): Ceiling-integrated FFU cleanroom (fan filter unit) modules equipped with variable speed motors and high-efficiency cleanroom HEPA filter media (99.99% @ 0.3μm).
- Laminar Flow Hood Workstations: Standalone vertical and horizontal laminar flow hood stations for localized, sterile micro-assembly.
- Custom Cleanroom HVAC System Design: End-to-end cleanroom HVAC system design and specialized HVAC for cleanrooms featuring dynamic thermal zoning, dehumidification, and custom ducting.
Pressure Cascades & Air Changes Per Hour
ACH Engineering implements automated controls for cleanroom positive vs negative pressure environments:
- Positive Pressure Cleanrooms: Pushes clean air outward to keep external shop-floor dust and particulates out of critical electronics, optical, or battery processing zones.
- Negative Pressure Cleanrooms: Pulls air inward toward HEPA exhaust systems to safely contain chemical vapors, active powders, or dangerous fumes.
All mechanical systems are engineered according to strict cleanroom air changes per hour chart requirements, from 10–25 ACH for ISO 8 industrial spaces to 240–480 ACH for ISO 5 environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
1.Does ACH Engineering supply individual cleanroom components in Edmonton?
Yes. In addition to turnkey cleanroom design and installation, we supply individual cleanroom hardware throughout Edmonton, Nisku, and Sherwood Park. This includes cleanroom pass-throughs, air showers, replacement fan filter units (FFUs), flush cleanroom doors, modular wall panels, and stainless steel laboratory furniture.
2.What is the difference between softwall vs hardwall cleanrooms?
A hardwall cleanroom utilizes rigid modular wall panels (steel, aluminum, or FRP) to create a sealed, pressure-controlled space required for ISO 5–7, cGMP, or EV battery dry room standards. A softwall cleanroom uses flexible, clear PVC strip curtains hung from a steel or aluminum frame; it offers a portable, cost-effective choice for localized ISO 7–8 process protection where strict pressure containment is not required.
3.What is the difference between ISO 7 and ISO 8 cleanrooms?
The primary difference between ISO 7 and ISO 8 comes down to allowable particle counts and air exchange rates. An ISO 7 environment permits a maximum of 352,000 particles (≥0.5 &mum) per cubic meter and requires 30 to 60 air changes per hour. An ISO 8 cleanroom permits up to 3,520,000 particles (≥0.5 &mum) per cubic meter and requires 10 to 25 air changes per hour.
4.What steps are involved in the cleanroom validation and certification process?
Our engineering specialists handle the entire cleanroom certification process and perform complete cleanroom validation protocol testing (IQ/OQ/PQ). This includes testing HEPA filter integrity (PAO leak testing), verifying particle counts, measuring airflow velocities, testing pressure differentials, and documenting compliance for quality audits.
