In modern industrial production, the dust-free workshop plays a crucial role. The selection of building materials not only affects the performance and quality of the workshop but also directly impacts the construction cost. As a professional manufacturer, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. provides you with an in-depth analysis of the key points in the selection of building materials for the dust-free workshop and the cost control scheme.
I. Key Points in the Selection of Building Materials for the Dust-Free Workshop
(I) Wall Materials
1. Performance Requirements
The walls of the dust-free workshop need to have good flatness and smoothness to reduce dust accumulation. At the same time, they should have a certain degree of strength and stability to withstand the impact during equipment installation and daily use. In addition, the fireproof, moisture-proof, and antibacterial properties of the wall materials are also key considerations.
2. Analysis of Commonly Used Materials
1. Color Steel Plate: It is easy to install and has an elegant appearance. Its surface is flat and smooth, easy to clean, and can effectively meet the cleanliness requirements of the dust-free workshop. Moreover, the color steel plate is available in a variety of colors and can be matched according to the overall style of the workshop. However, the sound insulation effect of the color steel plate is relatively average, and additional sound insulation measures may be required in workshops with high noise control requirements.
2. Magnesium Oxide Board: It has excellent fireproof performance, reaching the A-class non-combustible standard, which has obvious advantages in some industries with extremely high fire safety requirements, such as electronics and chemical industries. At the same time, the magnesium oxide board also has good moisture-proof and antibacterial properties and a long service life. However, its texture is relatively brittle, and special care should be taken during handling and installation to avoid damage.
(II) Floor Materials
1. Performance Requirements
The floor of the dust-free workshop should have high strength and wear resistance to withstand frequent personnel movement and equipment transportation. Good antistatic performance can prevent static electricity from damaging electronic equipment. In addition, the floor needs to have good sealing performance to prevent dust from entering the workshop through floor gaps.
2. Analysis of Commonly Used Materials
1. Epoxy Self-Leveling Floor: It has high flatness and seamless connection, which can effectively avoid dust accumulation. Its surface is hard and wear-resistant, and has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, suitable for a variety of industrial environments. Moreover, the epoxy self-leveling floor is available in a variety of colors and can be used for color marking in different workshop areas for easy management. However, the construction process of the epoxy self-leveling floor is relatively demanding, and problems such as bubbling and cracking are prone to occur if the construction is improper.
2. PVC Floor: It has good flexibility, comfortable foot feel, and a certain sound absorption effect, which can provide a relatively quiet working environment for workshop staff. The installation of PVC floor is simple and fast, and the price is relatively affordable. However, its wear resistance and high temperature resistance are relatively weak, and it is not suitable for workshops with frequent operation of heavy equipment or high-temperature operations.
(III) Ceiling Materials
1. Performance Requirements
The ceiling material should be lightweight and high-strength for easy installation and maintenance. Good airtightness can prevent air leakage and ensure the cleanliness of the workshop. At the same time, the ceiling material needs to have a certain thermal insulation performance to help maintain the temperature stability in the workshop.
2. Analysis of Commonly Used Materials
1. Aluminum Alloy Microporous Plate: It is lightweight, high-strength, and easy to install. Its microporous structure can effectively filter dust particles in the air and ensure the air quality in the workshop. The aluminum alloy material has good corrosion resistance and a long service life. However, the price of the aluminum alloy microporous plate is relatively high, and the initial investment cost is large.
2. Gypsum Board: It is low-cost and has a certain fireproof performance. The surface of the gypsum board is flat and can be painted or decorated to meet the aesthetic needs of different workshops. However, the moisture-proof performance of the gypsum board is relatively poor, and it is prone to deformation and mildew in a humid environment, requiring enhanced moisture-proof measures.
II. Cost Control Scheme for the Construction of the Dust-Free Workshop
(I) Cost Control in the Design Stage
1. Reasonable Planning and Layout
According to the production process and equipment requirements, optimize the layout of the workshop to reduce unnecessary space waste. Reasonably determine the area and location of each functional area to avoid material waste and increased construction difficulty caused by unreasonable layout. For example, placing equipment that generates more dust in the area close to the dust removal system can shorten the length of the ventilation duct and reduce costs.
2. Accurate Calculation of Material Consumption
In the design stage, accurately calculate the consumption of various building materials to avoid excessive or insufficient material procurement. This requires designers to have an accurate grasp of the workshop structure and size and make a reasonable estimate in combination with the construction process. At the same time, consider the material loss rate and reserve a certain margin, but avoid excessive margins that cause waste.
(II) Cost Control in Material Procurement
1. Multi-Channel Comparison and Procurement
Establish a wide range of supplier networks and compare the prices, qualities, and delivery times of different suppliers through inquiries and tenders. Select suppliers with high cost performance to cooperate with and strive for the most favorable procurement price while ensuring the quality of materials. For example, for the commonly used color steel plates for walls, you can consult the prices of multiple manufacturers and distributors, compare the differences in product specifications, materials, and after-sales services, and choose the most suitable supplier.
2. Utilization of the Advantage of Bulk Procurement
According to the scale of workshop construction, reasonably determine the bulk procurement of materials. For materials with large consumption, such as epoxy self-leveling materials for the floor and aluminum alloy microporous plates for the ceiling, negotiate with suppliers to obtain bulk purchase discounts. Bulk procurement can not only reduce the unit price of materials but also reduce the number of procurement times, lowering the procurement cost and transportation cost.
(III) Cost Control in the Construction Process
1. Optimization of the Construction Process
Select mature and efficient construction processes to improve construction efficiency and shorten the construction period. Reasonably arrange the construction sequence to avoid repeated construction and material waste caused by cross-operation. For example, during the construction of the wall and floor, the ground base treatment can be carried out first. After the ground is dry, the wall installation can be carried out, and finally the floor surface construction can be carried out. This can avoid the pollution and damage to the ground caused by the wall construction and reduce the repair cost.
2. Strengthening of Construction Management
Strictly control the construction quality to avoid rework and material waste caused by quality problems. Establish a sound construction management system, strengthen the training and management of construction personnel, and improve the technical level and sense of responsibility of construction personnel. For example, during the installation of the color steel plate on the wall, require construction personnel to install it in strict accordance with the operating procedures to ensure that the plate joints are tight and flat, avoiding air and dust leakage problems caused by improper joint treatment, thereby reducing the later maintenance cost.
(IV) Consideration of Operation and Maintenance Costs
1. Selection of Durable Materials
In the material selection stage, fully consider the service life and maintenance cost of materials. Select building materials with reliable quality and good durability. Although the initial investment may be higher, it can reduce the high cost caused by frequent material replacement in the later stage. For example, although the aluminum alloy microporous plate ceiling is more expensive, it has a long service life and simple maintenance, and is more cost-effective in the long run.
2. Reservation of Maintenance Channels and Spaces
In the workshop design, reasonably reserve maintenance channels and spaces to facilitate the daily maintenance, inspection, and replacement of equipment and building materials. This can improve the efficiency of maintenance work and reduce maintenance costs. For example, when designing the ceiling, consider setting removable access openings to facilitate the maintenance of the ventilation system and lighting equipment inside the ceiling, avoiding additional costs caused by inconvenient maintenance.
