The Client
JK Engineering is a leading provider of precision-engineered components, supplying clients in sectors where cleanliness, accuracy, and quality are vital.
As part of its ongoing commitment to meeting and exceeding customer expectations, the business identified a growing need to carry out clean assembly and packaging processes.
The Challenge
With customers requesting components to be assembled and packaged in controlled environments, JK Engineering faced the challenge of achieving cleanroom-level air quality—without the need to build and maintain a full-scale cleanroom.
They required a flexible, efficient, and space-conscious solution that could:
- Support basic assembly and final packaging processes to ISO Class 6
- Integrate seamlessly into their existing facility
- Guarantee particle-free airflow and operator protection
The Solution
Monmouth Scientific provided a custom specification , purpose-built for CSA Catapult’s RF Lab requirements.
To meet this requirement, JK Engineering turned to Monmouth Scientific and installed a Circulaire® Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinet—a compact, self-contained unit that delivers ULPA-filtered airflow in the work area to maintain ISO Class conditions.
Designed to create a clean, controlled zone for contamination-sensitive tasks, the Laminar Flow Cabinet is now used for:
- Precision assembly of components where cleanliness is critical
- Clean packaging of finished products in line with customer expectations
With its robust construction, quiet operation, and high performance, the cabinet enables JK Engineering to maintain consistently clean conditions.
The installation was completed smoothly, and our team continues to support the equipment through annual servicing and calibration, ensuring optimal long-term performance.
The Result
The Laminar Flow Cabinet has played a pivotal role in helping JK Engineering:
- Achieve and maintain ISO Class 6 conditions for critical tasks
- Satisfy customer cleanliness specifications for both assembly and packaging
By demonstrating their ability to handle high-spec, contamination-controlled processes, JK Engineering has also positioned itself as a capable partner for larger, more complex customer projects. The clean assembly capabilities have opened doors to new opportunities with clients operating in regulated and high-precision sectors.
The cabinet’s impact is clear—it enables the business to confidently meet regulatory and customer-driven standards, ensuring quality and customer trust are never compromised.
The Feedback
The Laminar Flow Cabinet has enabled us to meet customer requirements for clean assembly and packaging, without the need to invest in a full cleanroom.
Monmouth Scientific made the process straightforward and reliable, and with their regular servicing, we’ve never had an issue.
