Clean Room and Medical Technology
Clean rooms are required in areas such as medical technology production, research laboratories and semiconductor manufacturing. Highly sensitive manufacturing processes can only take place under dust-free and virtually germ-free conditions in a strictly controlled, ultra-clean environment. This is absolutely necessary for certified work in medical and clean room technology and is also required by law. Clean room ventilation is especially important: in order to ensure the required air purity and air quality at all times in highly sensitive environments, the ventilation system must also meet the highest standards and operate absolutely reliably, fault-free and fail-proof in both partial-load and full-load operation.
As a developer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative fans, motors and control modules, ZIEHL-ABEGG offers a wide range of perfectly matched products for efficient, energy-saving and low tonal noise clean room ventilation. Our portfolio includes, among other things, ventilation systems and measurement and control technology for fan filter units (FFU) in clean room ceilings, which can be used to implement intelligent, energy-saving ventilation systems for every clean room class. Our systems combine the best performance with the highest level of safety and cost-effectiveness because the components are coordinated perfectly with each other during development and production. This means that each system can be precisely adapted to on-site conditions and customer-specific requirements.
Quality made by ZIEHL-ABEGG for safe and people-friendly clean room ventilation
Our powerful biomimetic centrifugal fans, combined with the energy-saving, optimally controllable EC drives from ZIEHL-ABEGG, impress with excellent sound values and maximum energy efficiency. Even when working at full capacity, they are pleasantly quiet, easy on the ears and the environment, and save on electricity, operating and maintenance costs from day one. Royal League technology offers clear advantages in environments where the highest level of process reliability is continuously required, but where people are still the focus of attention in their workplace.
The bigger the clean room, the more FFUs and other air handling components are typically installed in the clean room ceiling, walls and adjacent areas. In large clean rooms with numerous FFUs, which can perform other tasks such as heating or cooling in addition to drawing in, filtering and blowing out the room air, energy efficiency is also always a major consideration. This is why clean room ventilation must always comply with the applicable standards, and why the corresponding directives (e.g. the ErP or Ecodesign Directive) are becoming increasingly stringent.
By equipping ventilation systems with high-performance products from ZIEHL-ABEGG, the energy consumption can be reduced to a minimum – both when setting up new systems and when retrofitting by replacing the older components that are not (or no longer) working economically. For example, EC fans with integrated control technology offer enormous savings potential compared to conventional AC motors, because although the fans are designed for the maximum operating point, they often actually only operate at partial load.
With our biomimetic fans and innovative ECblue drives, which are optimised for energy efficiency and meet the highest EMC standard, FFUs can be operated highly efficiently in clean room ceilings. Subsequent conversion to EC technology is also possible without any problems: Our products can be integrated into existing systems without great effort or expensive conversion work. This means that expansion, modernisation or energy-efficient refurbishment is worthwhile from day one, and that investment costs are quickly recouped.
Contact us for personalised advice! Developing and implementing customer-specific solutions is one of our specialities, because with our quality products and customised systems we have already realised demanding projects all over the world. We will be happy to support you in the selection and combination of suitable products and advise you on the available model ranges, and basic and special versions, as well as relevant standards, protection classes and approvals (e.g. types of corrosion protection, ATEX approval, quality and safety standards for medical technology).
In addition to fan systems for high-purity environments, ZIEHL-ABEGG also manufactures innovative electric motors and direct drives for medical technology, including ring motors for quiet and precise CT scanners. The direct drive, in which the motor and the drive shaft always have the same speed, is truly pioneering. This type of drive does not require a gearbox, so it has only one sound source and extremely few potential sources of error. Direct drives enable high torques, even at low speeds, and also cover higher speed ranges if required. For example, ring motors are used in the scanner units of CT scanners.
Permanent magnet excited synchronous motors impress here with the best efficiencies. Regulation can then be carried out with the highest precision thanks to the speed control. The SM985ring ring motor from ZIEHL-ABEGG is specially developed and optimised for modern medical technology. And it offers decisive advantages in demanding applications where the highest precision is required. The outstanding acoustic values of our innovative ring motor enable very quiet operation and help to reduce the stress of patients during examinations and treatments on a daily basis. This also spares the nerves of doctors and staff thanks to an quieter environment overall.
ZIEHL-ABEGG products represent the very best, not only in ventilation technology, but also in drives and control modules for medical technology, clean rooms and ventilation. We offer special drives, sizes and shapes individually developed and optimised for your applications. Contact us to start planning together or have your questions answered directly by one of our experienced experts. You will find our excellent service just as impressive as the products from ZIEHL-ABEGG, which we can combine for future-proof systems exactly according to your requirements.
