Cleanrooms are specially controlled areas where dust, particles, temperature and humidity must be carefully managed.
Machines used inside cleanrooms also need proper leveling, but normal cast iron leveling wedges may create contamination.
Why Cast Iron Can Be a Problem
Cast iron can release small particles due to:
- Surface wear
- Rust or oxidation
- Friction during machine operation
These particles can contaminate sensitive products such as semiconductor chips and other precision components.
Better Options for Cleanrooms
For cleanroom applications, suitable options include:
- Stainless steel leveling feet
- Special aluminium leveling wedges
- Stainless steel screws
- Cleanroom-safe grease and coatings
These materials are easier to clean and create less contamination.
Using cleanroom-compatible leveling products helps maintain machine stability while protecting the clean manufacturing environment.
