In the field of cleanroom construction projects, material selection is a crucial aspect. Many business owners may find that when planning, the cost of handmade panels is significantly higher than that of mechanized panels. Today, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will conduct an in-depth analysis of the reasons for you, helping you understand the factors behind the cost differences and make choices that are more in line with your own needs.
Degree of Craftsmanship Precision: Ingenious and Time-consuming
The most prominent feature of handmade panels is that they are "handmade", which is by no means a rapid production mode like an industrial assembly line. Experienced craftsmen need to carefully process each panel one by one. For example, at the bending and splicing parts, they have to rely on professional skills and great patience to ensure a seamless connection. Take the corner process as an example. Manual operations can precisely meet the requirements of complex workshop layout, achieving smooth, aesthetically pleasing and excellently sealed joints. In contrast, mechanized panels mostly follow fixed molds for mass production and it is difficult for them to take into account special designs, with limited detail refinement. A large amount of manpower and working hours are invested in the production of handmade panels, which naturally drives up the cost. After all, the skills and time costs of professional craftsmen are not cheap.
Customization Flexibility: Exclusive and Unique
Cleanrooms vary from one industry to another, with internal layouts and functional partitions being quite different. Handmade panels show their full advantages in this regard as they can be completely customized according to the special requirements of customers. Pharmaceutical enterprises have extremely high sealing standards for sterile areas, food processing workshops attach great importance to the easy-to-clean and corrosion-resistant properties of panels, and electronic factory buildings focus on anti-static functions. Handmade panels can easily integrate multiple special materials and processes, and can precisely adapt to adjustments in panel thickness and the addition of functional layers. Mechanized panels, on the other hand, have relatively fixed specifications and limited room for modification. Although standardized production is efficient, it is difficult to meet diversified customization needs. The exclusive customization attribute of handmade panels undoubtedly leads to a higher cost.
Material Compatibility: Carefully Selected and Diversely Adaptable
To meet the stringent requirements of cleanroom environments, the material selection for handmade panels is extremely strict. Different materials such as stainless steel, color steel plates, and aluminum alloys are combined as needed, and high-quality thermal insulation and sound insulation materials like rock wool and polyurethane are filled inside. Each selected material has undergone repeated tests to ensure that it meets the standards for fire prevention, moisture resistance, antibacterial properties, anti-static properties and so on. For example, in the production workshop of electronic chips, anti-static handmade panels are carefully configured from the conductive materials on the surface to the internal structure. Mechanized panels tend to have more general material selections and it is difficult for them to fully adapt to special working conditions. The high-standard material selection and the need to adapt to complex working conditions of handmade panels have led to an increase in costs.
Quality Control: Strictly Controlled Throughout the Whole Process
Throughout the production process of handmade panels, craftsmen carefully conduct inspections. From the verification of raw materials, to the calibration of dimensions in the processing stage, the detection of splicing and sealing, and then to the acceptance inspection of the strength and flatness of the finished products, multiple processes are carried out to strictly prevent flaws. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. adheres to the top industry standards in the production of handmade panels. From the position of a tiny rivet to the stability of the overall structure, no mistakes are allowed. Mechanized panels rely mainly on the automated processes of machines and mainly adopt sampling inspections, with simplified manual quality inspection procedures. The all-round and high-intensity quality control of handmade panels means more resources are invested, thus increasing the cost.
Although the cost of handmade panels is high, in many projects that have extremely high requirements for cleanliness, functionality, and layout adaptability, their advantages are irreplaceable. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in the cleanroom construction field for many years and has a professional design and construction team that can accurately grasp the characteristics of handmade panels and mechanized panels.
