This application is used for monitoring the cleanliness of the production environment and helps identifying potential particle sources. Processes and influencing variables which might be a source for particulate contamination can be identified, documented and monitored to guarantee clean manufacturing.

To validate the environmental and air cleanliness several particle traps are distributed close to the manufacturing and assembly sites. After a defined time period the particle traps are collected and analyzed.

The particle distribution is analyzed in terms of size and type, and are expressed in cleanliness classes (level).
