1. What is a Clean Booth? Its Role in Food Processing Plants

A Clean Booth is a mobile cleanroom space designed to create a controlled, clean environment through a recirculating air filtration system and controlled airflow. Unlike fixed cleanrooms, Clean Booths are quick to assemble and flexible to relocate or reconfigure based on production needs.

In food processing plants—especially areas like filling, packaging, and product testing—Clean Booths play a crucial role by:

  • Preventing cross-contamination between production stages
  • Controlling fine dust, bacteria, and airborne particles
  • Ensuring localized cleanliness that meets ISO 14644, HACCP, and GMP food standards
  • Creating a standardized work zone for better quality control

Why choose a Clean Booth over renovating the entire facility? With a lower investment cost than a traditional cleanroom and faster setup (usually within 7-10 working days), a Clean Booth is ideal for:

  • Small and medium-sized enterprises needing a compliant clean area on a limited budget
  • Food factories aiming to improve production without major disruptions
  • Pilot projects or expanding production lines

2. Common Applications of Clean Booths in the Food Industry

Clean Booths offer localized air cleanliness and are widely used across critical zones in food plants where hygiene and microbiological safety are a priority:

  • Filling and packaging areas: Block bacteria and dust from entering processed products; meet "clean zone" requirements per HACCP and GMP
  • Weighing and sampling rooms: Prevent cross-contamination between raw materials with odors or fine powders; maintain positive pressure to prevent backflow of contaminants
  • QC/Microbiological testing zones: Provide a clean environment for sampling and testing; optionally integrate biosafety cabinets or UV sterilization units
  • Premium or organic production lines: Improve traceability and product quality; isolate sensitive processing from general production areas

3. Key Technical Standards When Choosing a Clean Booth

Selecting a Clean Booth involves more than size or cost—it must align with the hygiene and safety standards enforced in your plant. Key criteria include:

clean-booth-phong-sach-thuc-pham-vcr-3

  • ISO 14644-1 (Cleanliness Classification by Particle Count)
    • Commonly used for classifying cleanliness levels
    • Packaging and filling zones often require ISO Class 7-8
    • Classification based on particle counts (≥0.5µm/m³)

ISO Class

Max Particles ≥ 0.5µm/m³

Typical Application

Class 8

3,520,000

Outer packaging areas

Class 7

352,000

Filling, sealing, labeling

Class 6

35,200

QC labs, sample weighing rooms

  • HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)
    • Clean Booths can serve as CCP zones for sensitive operations
    • Materials used must be easy to clean, non-particle-shedding, and non-porous
  • GMP for Food Production
    • Ensure unidirectional airflow (laminar flow) and positive pressure
    • Smooth, crevice-free surfaces to avoid contamination
    • Ideal for integration into certified GMP quality systems

4. Factors Affecting Clean Booth Pricing

The cost of a Clean Booth varies based on technical and design parameters. Understanding these helps in accurate budgeting and avoiding over- or under-specification:

  • Size and user capacity: Booths for 1-2 users are cheaper than those for 3-5 users
  • Air filter type:
    • HEPA H13: ≥99.95% efficiency, standard applications
    • HEPA H14: ≥99.995% efficiency, used in sensitive zones
  • FFU (Fan Filter Unit) quantity and type:
    • Mini models may use 1 FFU; larger setups need 2-4
    • Speed-adjustable FFUs available

clean-booth-phong-sach-thuc-pham-vcr-4

  • Frame and panel materials:
    • Stainless steel 304: durable, hygienic, premium cost
    • Aluminum profile: lighter, lower cost
    • Panels: PU, clear PC, anti-static mica options
  • Additional equipment:
    • LED lights (1-2 units), UV sterilizers, pressure sensors, variable-speed controls
    • Sample pass boxes, sliding doors, mobile caster wheels
