Clean Space

North Devon is renowned for its low-pollution levels, outstanding air quality, and water purity; because of this we find ourselves home to global players in the pharmaceutical, agri-tech, aeronautical, FMCG, filtration, and electronics-based manufacturing industries.

But we don’t believe that a business’ lack of facilities should be a barrier to technological or manufacturing advancement.

So, for those businesses that require an enclosed space in which airborne particulates, contaminants, and pollutants are kept within strict parameters, but lack access to the industrial cleanroom facilities enjoyed by bigger companies, we invite you to use our purpose-built, professional-standard Clean Space.

The Tech Spec:

• 5000mm x 3000mm clean space with approximately 2150m³ of HEPA filtered air per hour
• Over 60 air changes per hour in accordance with BS EN 14644 ISO Class 7

• Dual CAMT2000 clean air modules installed, to maintain correct pressure levels and provide in excess of the required 3600m³
