VDL cleanroom

At its subsidiary VDL GL-Precision in Eindhoven, VDL Groep has been using Highcare’s high-quality modular metal dust-free rooms for five years to produce customer-specific parts. VDL cleanroom in class ISO 6 with three darkrooms. ASML, among others, is a customer.

Unique construction and ventilation system

The VDL Groep chose state-of-the-art cleanroom technology at VDL GL-Precision. The dust-free rooms are compactly integrated into existing factory space. This VDL cleanroom is a stand-alone unit placed in the production hall under a loose floor. VDL GL-Precision chose Highcare’s technology. For more than twenty years, Highcare has been building cleanrooms with an ingenious ventilation system. In doing so, the company specializes in a new construction technique according to the in-house developed IFD system. These industrially composed segments can be flexibly partitioned and dismantled, even years after completion. In the walls and above the ceilings are the supply lines for the utilities, ready-to-use prefabricated units for XCDA, UPW, CDA, and compressed air, among others.

Flexible

Flexibility is very important to VDL GL-Precision. Thus, after a few weeks, they adjusted the light supply. With the IFD system, remounting is easy, without breaking, sawing or sanding and in just a few minutes. The location of windows and doors in this VDL cleanroom are also easily shifted with this system. Maximum flexibility.

XCDA, CDA and UPW

The cleanrooms use high-quality utilities such as XCDA, CDA and UPW. VDL GL-Precision is completely independent and produces extremely clean dry air, XCDA and ultra purified water, UPW, at this location under its own management.
