Why Space‑Savvy Clean Steam Matters in Tight Cleanrooms
Modern semiconductor fabs and biotech laboratories often allocate every square metre to critical process equipment. A compact clean steam generator for restricted cleanroom space delivers sterile steam on‑demand without sacrificing floor area, ensuring that de‑contamination, sterilisation, and humidification can be performed inside the most confined zones while meeting ISO‑14644‑1 cleanliness classes.
Product Overview
Our modular steam unit is engineered for integration into Class 5–7 cleanrooms where headroom is limited to 2 m or less. The system employs a high‑efficiency copper‑tube heat exchanger, a low‑vibration water pump, and a sealed stainless‑steel steam chamber (SS‑304) that complies with GMP and ISO‑13485 requirements. The footprint is 320 mm × 460 mm × 610 mm (W × D × H) and the total weight is under 30 kg, enabling floor‑mounted or ceiling‑suspended installation with minimal anchoring.
Application Scenarios
- In‑process sterilisation of wafer carriers and tool components in semiconductor fabs.
- GMP‑grade steam humidification for cell‑culture incubators and aseptic filling lines.
- Rapid de‑contamination of portable equipment within confined quarantine chambers.
- On‑site generation of sterile steam for pharma tablet coating ovens where external supply lines are prohibited.

Competitive Advantages
Space efficiency without compromise. The vertical‑stacked heat‑exchange core reduces the footprint by up to 45 % compared with conventional floor‑standing generators, freeing valuable cleanroom real‑estate for process tools.
Zero‑contamination design. All steam‑contact surfaces are electropolished SS‑304, and the internal circuit is hermetically sealed to prevent particulate migration. The unit passes ISO‑14644‑1 Class 5 particle tests out of the box.
Energy‑saving controls. A built‑in PID controller modulates heating power in real‑time, delivering up to 30 % lower electricity use versus static‑on generators. The system also supports remote monitoring via Modbus‑TCP for integration into existing SCADA environments.
Fast installation & validation. With plug‑and‑play electrical connectors (IEC‑C14) and a pre‑certified cleanroom mounting kit, the unit can be commissioned within a single shift. Validation protocols are supplied as part of the documentation package, simplifying GMP qualification.
FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for a custom‑size model?
Our standard catalog unit starts at an MOQ of 10 pieces. For bespoke dimensions or pressure ratings, we accept orders from 5 units upward, with a modest engineering surcharge.
Can the generator be integrated into an existing cleanroom control system?
Yes. The device includes Modbus‑TCP and 4‑20 mA analog outputs, enabling seamless communication with most DCS/SCADA platforms used in pharma and semiconductor environments.
What is the typical lead time after order confirmation?
Standard models ship within 15–30 days. Customized configurations, including altered footprint or specific certification documentation, require 30–45 days depending on complexity.
What warranty and service options are available?
All units carry a 24‑month parts‑only warranty. Extended service contracts (up to 5 years) are available, covering on‑site preventive maintenance, firmware updates, and priority spare‑part delivery.
