Counting down to Cleanzone in Frankfurt

In just a few days, Cleanzone, the international trade fair for cleanroom technology, will be opening its doors in Frankfurt for the first time, presenting some 40 market leaders with their products and services in Hall 4.0 on 24 and 25 October. There will be a great deal of hands-on expertise and industry highlights on offer for cleanroom users, not to mention a wealth of scientific know-how provided by prominent experts at the Cleanzone Congress taking place at the same time.

The industry is on the move
The new Cleanzone event is making its mark, with a number of international firms joining the ranks of exhibitors shortly before the registration deadline. New arrivals include Particle Measuring Systems, Viessmann, Weiss GWE and Weiss Klimatechnik, as well as national pavilions for both Austria and Switzerland. Some of the other major names who will be in attendance are BSR, CAS Clean-Air-Service, Colandis, Daldrop, Decontam, Dycem, Hydroflex, Kimberly-Clark, PPS Pfennig, Technology of Sense and WISAG. “We are very pleased with the response to the first Cleanzone, particularly in light of the limited time available in which to market this event. Numerous leading companies in the cleanroom sector will be on hand for the debut event, creating a solid foundation for future growth,” states Klaus Reinke, Member of the Extended Board of Management of Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH.

Cleanzone Plaza delivers practical know-how
One of the highlights of the trade fair will be Cleanzone Plaza in Hall 4.0, where visitors will be able to enjoy a continuous series of presentations offering practical information and valuable tips and tricks pertaining to cleanroom utilisation and expertise – and it is all free of charge. Starting at 10:00 a.m. each day, the “Life Science” and “Microtechnology” forums will alternate at 30-minute intervals, covering a wide range of topics such as particle measurement, cleanroom cleaning, optimising cleanroom clothing, security and surface cleanliness. This will also be the venue where the nominees for the Cleanroom Awards present their projects on 24 October.

Cleanroom Award
With a firm focus on innovations, the Cleanroom Award will be presented for the first time at Cleanzone 2012. This prize, which is given by Reinraum-Akademie GmbH (Leipzig), honours projects in the cleanroom industry that are distinguished by their exemplary innovation, sustainability and efficiency. The five nominees are Palas for “Reference Aerosol Distribution System”, AAF-Lufttechnik for “VITCAcel”, Technology of Sense for “APMON”, Colandis for “Art in the Cleanroom”, and Graz University of Technology for its master’s degree programme in cleanroom technology. Starting at 12:00 noon on 24 October 2012, participants will be presenting their innovations at the Cleanzone Plaza area. The winner will be chosen on the basis of votes cast by Cleanzone visitors in the special exhibition featuring all five projects. The awards ceremony will take place on the Cleanzone Plaza stage at 12:30 p.m. on 25 October 2012.

Cleanzone Congress
The Cleanzone Congress will be held alongside the Cleanzone trade fair. This new knowledge platform for cleanroom technology is aimed at manufacturers and users from across the industrial spectrum, offering independent scientific knowledge from a range of international experts. The four sessions, “Concepts and Trends”, “Planning and Construction”, “Qualification and Monitoring” and “Cleanroom Operation”, cover the gamut from future requirements and challenges, international guidelines and regulations to staff training and increasing cleanroom efficiency.

The keynote speaker on the first day of the congress is Prof. Dr. Walter. In his presentation entitled “Clean Room, Clean Space – Cleanroom Technology in Space Missions”, the astronaut will be discussing “marriage” in a cleanroom and the vital importance of cleanliness in space flight. Presentations will also be given by Koos Agricola (ICCCS International Confederation of Contamination Control Societies), Dr. Udo Gommel (Fraunhofer IPA), Conor Murray (3dimension Cleanroom and Chairman of the Irish Cleanroom Society), Joachim Ludwig (Colandis), Gabriele Schmeer-Lioe (Denkendorf Institute of Textile and Process Engineering) and Florian Dittel (Dittel Engineering), as well as other renowned experts.

Get-together
On the evening of the first day of the event, 24 October, there will be a get-together for the cleanroom community starting at 6:00 p.m. to which all visitors, exhibitors and speakers are invited – an excellent opportunity to expand networks and engage in more detailed discussions. Music, food and drink will be provided to ensure a relaxed atmosphere.
