Cleanroom Technology


Very few South African companies can boast engineers with the qualifications and expertise to design clean room installations. SSI specialises in the design of air conditioning installations and mechanical services for manufacturing facilities that require special environments, such as the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical facilities, the micro-electronics industry and medical installations. 

We are able to ensure that a design complies with world class HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards through our comprehensive knowledge of local and international regulations and requirements.

Our cleanroom services include:
• General clean rooms/airlocks/airshowers
• Central vacuum cleaning systems
• Aseptic filling
• Laminar flow protection
• Dust contamination/dust extraction systems
• Cross- contamination control
• Liquids manufacturing
• Stability rooms
• Process cooling
• Clean room wall paneling
• Installation validation
• Inspector training


    PROJECTS


    Valprι
