Installation of a clean lab within the factory premises.
The manufacturer of the pulverizer needed to improve the working environment for contract processing of crushing and fine grinding. Operations were being conducted in a corner of the factory, but there was a risk of foreign matter contamination during the input of raw materials for crushing. Customer surveys also indicated a demand for improvements in the working environment, and there was a call for the establishment of a clean lab in line with the trend towards finer particle sizes. Additionally, since cleaning with organic solvents is involved in the work, exhaust equipment that complies with various regulations, including the Labor Safety and Health Act, was also required, not just to ensure cleanliness.
Issues:
1. Increased risk of foreign matter contamination when performing nano-level grinding (as pointed out by customers).
2. Appropriate exhaust equipment is necessary due to the use of organic solvents.
3. Considering the possibility of changing the layout of the pulverizer and workability, a large space without columns is more user-friendly.
4. Temperature control is necessary to maintain consistent testing conditions.
