Should the Floor of Purification Workshop Choose Raised Floor or Epoxy Floor?

During the construction of a purification workshop, the choice of floor is of crucial importance. It not only concerns the overall cleanliness of the workshop but also is closely related to many aspects of production and operation. As Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer of purification equipment, today we will conduct an in-depth analysis for you to figure out whether the floor of the purification workshop should choose raised floor or epoxy floor.

The raised floor system usually has a cavity structure, which creates excellent conditions for air circulation. In some purification workshops with extremely high heat dissipation requirements, such as electronic chip manufacturing workshops, a large number of precision equipments will generate considerable heat during long-term operation. The raised floor, in combination with the ventilation system, can smoothly send cold air from under the floor to take away the heat of the equipments, maintaining a suitable temperature environment required for the stable operation of the equipments, effectively avoiding equipment failures and product quality problems caused by overheating.

Its overhead design reserves sufficient space, facilitating the laying of various pipelines such as electrical lines and data cables. Technicians can easily carry out the layout, adjustment and maintenance of the lines under the floor, without the need to groove and bury wires like the traditional ground, greatly reducing the damage to the ground during construction and shortening the line maintenance time, ensuring the continuity of workshop production.

The height of the raised floor can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual needs of the workshop, whether it is to adapt to complex equipment layouts or meet different ventilation volume requirements. This adjustable characteristic enables the workshop to avoid large-scale replacement of the floor system during subsequent upgrades and renovations, effectively saving costs.

After the construction of the epoxy self-leveling floor is completed, a smooth and seamless overall surface can be formed. For the purification workshop, this greatly reduces the hiding places for dust and impurities, effectively preventing dust particles from rising from the gaps and ensuring that the air quality in the workshop is always maintained at a high standard, meeting the strict dust control process requirements of optical instrument assembly, biomedical research and development, etc.

In many purification workshops, it is inevitable to come into contact with various chemical reagents and solvents, such as acidic etching solutions in electronic etching workshops and disinfectants in pharmaceutical workshops. The epoxy floor has good chemical corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of these chemical substances, maintaining the integrity and stability of the ground for a long time, avoiding ground wrinkling and peeling caused by chemical corrosion, and thus affecting the cleanliness of the workshop.

Compared with some high-end raised floor systems, the epoxy floor is often more competitive in terms of initial procurement and installation costs. Especially for small and medium-sized purification workshops with relatively limited budgets and certain requirements for ground cleanliness and wear resistance, the epoxy floor is a cost-effective choice.

If the workshop is mainly engaged in production activities with high temperature and high heat dissipation requirements, and the equipment layout is complex and requires frequent line adjustments, then the raised floor is obviously a better choice. On the contrary, if the process focuses on ultra-precise dust control and chemical reagents are frequently used, the seamless dustproof and chemical resistance advantages of the epoxy floor will stand out.

Budget is a key consideration factor when enterprises build purification workshops. As mentioned above, the epoxy floor has a lower initial cost and relatively simple subsequent maintenance, which is more friendly to projects with tight funds; while the raised floor has powerful functions but a higher upfront investment, and enterprises need to weigh their own financial strength and long-term operating costs.

If enterprises expect that the purification workshop will have a large-scale upgrade and renovation in the next few years, such as introducing new production lines and significantly increasing production capacity, and having higher requirements for ventilation and line layout, then the adjustable raised floor can better adapt to changes and reduce the cost and trouble of secondary renovations.

In conclusion, the choice of the floor of the purification workshop is not made overnight and requires comprehensive consideration of various factors such as process characteristics, budget, and development plans.
