Packaging

Astro Pak Corporation has a variety of clean rooms ranging from ISO class 4 (class 100 to class 1000). Astro Pak cleans using several different methods including hand detailing, ultrasonic, passivation, high pressure spray, and high temperature bake out. To validate our cleaning, we perform analytical testing such as non volatile residue (NVR), and particulate testing with custom packaging.

Custom Packaging

Astro Pak can accommodate any of your packaging requirements, from aerospace, semiconductor, medical, to laser components. We fabricate custom bags as necessary to fit the components we are cleaning. Typical sizes range from 1"x 1" square bags to 20'x 20'square bags or bigger. Components are also wrapped with bubble pack for further protection.

Astro Pak Procedures

Astro Pak develops procedures by conducting meetings with customers to discuss their cleaning requirements for their components. Protocol such as cleaning components method(s), chemical selection, acceptable test level standards and test performance techniques are all identified at that time. Further, if assembly is required then assembly drawings are reviewed as well. Once the details have been discussed, Astro Pak will write a procedure and submit it for the customer's approval. When the procedure is approved, Astro Pak technicians will perform the work by following the detailed procedures that insure proper cleaning protocol and assembly.

Quality Assurance

Our clean rooms are tested to insure that the cleanliness level is maintained and the clean room is completely cleaned.

The 18 meg ohm deionised water is continually monitored and is of the highest quality and purity.

Astro Pak's preventive maintenance program insures that all filters are changed and equipment calibrations are completed as required and scheduled.
