Cleanroom
A "cleanroom computer" is specialized hardware for controlled environments with minimal particulate contamination, featuring sealed designs (IP65+), resistance to cleaning agents, and often lacking traditional fans and ventilation to prevent dust circulation. These computers are crucial for industries like pharmaceuticals and microelectronics where maintaining a pure environment is vital for product quality and safety.
Key Characteristics
Fully Encapsulated Design: Built to prevent dust, microbes, and other contaminants from entering the device.
High IP Rating: Typically have a protection rating of at least IP65, indicating high resistance to dust and water, crucial for withstanding harsh cleaning procedures.
Fanless Design: Often lack traditional fans and ventilation slots to prevent the circulation of dust and other contaminants into the cleanroom environment.
Durable Materials: Designed to withstand industrial-grade cleaning solutions, ensuring easy sanitation and continued functionality.
Specialized Display: May feature non-reflecting PCT (projected capacitive touch) displays for better visibility in various lighting conditions.
