Stainless Steel Cleanroom Garment Cabinet

What is the Stainless Steel Cleanroom Garment Cabinet?

A stainless steel garment cabinet is a ventilated storage cabinet with hanging rods and louvred or glazed doors. It is the basic solution for storing cleanroom garments in ISO 7–8 gowning areas.

Overview

The cabinet is fabricated from 304 stainless steel with welded seams and a smooth interior. Standard widths are 600, 900 and 1200 mm, depth 500–600 mm and height 1800–2000 mm. Hanging rods or hooks hold coveralls, and shelves provide space for hoods, gloves and boots. Doors have louvred or perforated panels for passive ventilation and lockable handles. Adjustable feet level the cabinet on the floor, and a sloped top avoids dust accumulation. No power is required. The design tolerates wipe-down with alcohol and quaternary disinfectants. It supports daily garment rotation but has no active filtration, so the gowning room air quality determines cleanliness.

How does it work?

A garment cabinet provides enclosed storage with controlled airflow so that garments remain dry and particle-free. Basic units have stainless steel or powder-coated steel shelves and hangers with louvred or perforated doors. Ventilated versions draw room air through a prefilter and HEPA filter and circulate it over the garments, keeping positive pressure inside so dust cannot enter. UV-C lamps at 254 nm irradiate hanging garments for surface disinfection, with timers and door switches for safety. Some units include heated drying or nitrogen purge for sterile garments. Doors are glazed for visibility, and interiors are smooth for wipe-down. Units are sized for 1 to 6 persons and supplied as single or multi-door freestanding cabinets.

What are the key features?

• 304 stainless steel welded construction
• Hanging rods and shelves for garments and accessories
• Louvred or perforated doors for passive ventilation
• Lockable handles and adjustable feet
• Sloped top to avoid dust accumulation
• No power required

What are the technical specifications?

A typical stainless steel cleanroom garment cabinet configuration offers material of 304 stainless steel, width of 600 / 900 / 1200 mm, depth of 500–600 mm, height of 1800–2000 mm, capacity of 4–12 coveralls and door type of Louvred or perforated, lockable. Values are indicative of the product class; the exact figures for each configuration are confirmed on the quotation and the calibration documents supplied with the instrument.

Which applications is it used for?

The Stainless Steel Cleanroom Garment Cabinet is used in gowning rooms, electronics cleanrooms, food factories and hospital pharmacies. Across the wider Garment Cabinets class, laboratories also deploy it for gowning rooms, pharmaceutical production and electronics cleanrooms.

Which standards and certifications apply?

Relevant standards and methods include ISO 14644-1 (cleanroom classification), ISO 14644-5 (cleanroom operations), EU GMP Annex 1 (sterile manufacturing), GB 50073 (cleanroom design code), IEST-RP-CC003 (garment system considerations) and IEC 61010-1. Certification candidates for this model are CE and ISO 9001 manufacturing; each is to be confirmed for the specific configuration before shipment, and certificates are supplied only where they have been issued.

Place garment cabinets in the gowning vestibule or clean-side change room, away from draughts and wet areas. Clean the exterior and interior with cleanroom-compatible disinfectants at defined intervals, and replace prefilters every 3–6 months. UV lamps lose intensity after about 8000 hours and do not treat shadowed fabric folds, so they supplement and do not replace laundering. Define garment rotation, cleaning and sterilization cycles, and log them. Do not hang wet garments, and avoid storing personal items in the cabinet. Verify that airflow does not raise particles within the gowning room.

How do I select the right Stainless Steel Cleanroom Garment Cabinet?

Choose this cabinet for ISO 7–8 areas with modest garment hygiene needs. For sterile garments, select a HEPA-ventilated or UV unit. RFQ: width, number of garments, door type and lock requirement. Also confirm the lock type.

How does it compare with other Garment Cabinets variants?

Choose by the cleanliness of garments to store and the risk of contamination. For general ISO 7–8 areas, a ventilated steel cabinet may suffice; for sterile or ISO 5–6 garments, use HEPA-ventilated or sterile-purged units. Count the garments per shift and choose the number of compartments or hanger positions, noting coverall volume of about 0.05 m3 per garment. Check door type, glazing and locks, as well as whether UV disinfection is helpful. Verify materials, stainless steel 304 for pharma and powder-coated steel for electronics. Confirm dimensions for gowning-room layout, typical widths 600–1800 mm, and the electrical supply.
