New cleanroom system for injection mould presses
Gerbig Engineering, a US company specializing in the design, build, installation and certification of cleanrooms, has introduced a new standard cleanroom system offering specifically designed to enclose injection moulded presses in a cleanroom environment.
The system is a totally customisable enclosure for plastic injection mould presses and features HEPA filtration and 100% enclosure. The enclosure uses soft wall or hardwall cleanroom materials including the AireCell aluminum and PVC extrusions.
Originally designed for fabrication plastic products for the medical industry, where cleanliness is an absolute necessity, the system uses minimal space and totally engulfs the press in HEPA filtered air. This allows injection moulders to satisfy the needs of fabricating contamination-free product with minimal facility and energy costs.
"This system is an economical way to manufacture plastic parts in a cleanroom environment," said Fred Gerbig, president of Gerbig Engineering. "The medical market uses a tremendous amount of plastic components and contamination is a big issue. This allows injection moulders to satisfy the needs of fabricating contamination free product with minimal facility and energy costs."
The system can be customised to enclose any press in a multitude of industrial environments, and can be easily disassembled and reassembled for easy of relocation.
Gerbig Engineering a privately-owned designer, fabricator and installer of cleanrooms for several sectors including medical-, pharmaceutical and biotechnology cleanrooms.
The company recently moved to larger facility in North Branch, Minnesota where softwall cleanrooms, cleanroom workstations and specialty equipment will be fabricated. The main cleanroom fabrication and engineering continues to be located in Burnsville, Minnesota.
