Cleanroom Caster

A cleanroom caster is built to minimize particle generation and contamination — smooth, low-shedding wheel materials and construction suited to pharmaceutical, electronics, and other controlled environments.

What a cleanroom caster is

Standard wheel materials can shed small particles as they wear, which is unacceptable in a cleanroom setting — cleanroom-rated casters use materials and construction specifically chosen to minimize that.

When it matters

Pharmaceutical manufacturing, electronics assembly, and any controlled environment with particle-count requirements.

What to check / common mistakes

Using standard casters in a cleanroom setting. Even a caster that looks fine can shed particles at a rate that violates cleanroom standards — use purpose-built cleanroom casters instead.
