- Cleanroom Pass-Through Chambers: Stainless steel cleanroom pass through units and mechanically interlocked cleanroom pass box cabinets for safe material transfers.
- Epoxy Cleanroom Floor: Non-porous, chemical-resistant epoxy cleanroom floor systems and static-dissipative (ESD) flooring for electronics and battery assembly.
- Cleanroom Coving: Radiused cleanroom coving connecting wall-to-floor, wall-to-wall, and wall-to-ceiling transitions to eliminate 90-degree dirt traps.
Cleanroom Furniture & Industrial Enclosures
- Cleanroom Gowning Bench: Ergonomic cleanroom gowning bench entry dividers separating dirty and clean zones.
- Tables & Workbenches: Heavy-gauge stainless steel cleanroom table units and modular cleanroom bench workstations.
- Sanitation Furniture: Hands-free cleanroom sink units, eyewash stations, and gowning storage.
- Acoustic & Noise Control: 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 provide cleanroom components and equipment in Windsor?
Yes. In addition to turnkey cleanroom design and installation, we supply individual cleanroom hardware throughout Windsor and Essex County. This includes cleanroom pass-throughs, air showers, replacement fan filter units (FFUs), flush cleanroom doors, wall panels, and stainless steel lab benches.
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 μm) 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 μm) per cubic meter and requires 10 to 25 air changes per hour.
4.What is 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.
