In addition, Terra provides electropolishing to produce the smooth, nonparticulating stainless steel surfaces required in cleanroom applications. This specialty fab is devoted to CNC routing, cutting, milling, and drilling of polypropylene used in wet processing and cleaning stations. Thermal welding techniques ensure durable, leak-proof joints required in critical applications with acids and other hazardous process chemistries. As a major manufacturer of cleanroom benches and storage cabinets, Terra Universal maintains a laminate shop that expertly seals all edges of the electrically controlled surface polymers over the fibercore substrates, yielding work surfaces that will not slough or outgas. Wiring of electrical equipment conforms with local electrical codes, and the use of all-stainless steel chassis helps maintain cleanroom compatibility.
Most systems are available with third-party certification.
On demand, final cleaning and packaging is performed in Terra's on-site Class 10 cleanroom, to customers' specifications. During the decade that followed, Terra established a reputation as a leading manufacturer of automated storage systems, desiccators, glove boxes, laminar flow and exhaust fume hoods, wet processing stations, cleanroom work benches, and related equipment. Manufacturers in other industries with similar requirements for critical environments sought out Terra to fabricate products to their own specifications. Partnering with leading companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device manufacturing industries, Terra developed new lines of storage and handling equipment. Manufacturers in many cleanroom-related industries look to Terra for critical environment solutions.
