Promolding, a Dutch injection moulding company, has announced the opening of a new ISO class 7 cleanroom. The 350 sqm, dust-free and clean space entered operation in July. The company awarded the build to Connect 2 Cleanrooms BV.
In this cleanroom mainly medical instruments are produced and assembled. Promolding said the new cleanroom will further strengthen its connection with the medical sector.
Products for the medical industry require a clean working environment. In the ISO class 7 cleanroom, Promolding can now guarantee a clean injection moulding and assembly process under ISO 14644 regulated conditions.
The cleanroom with an internal change/transfer area, various assembly machines, a laser welding machine and a fully autonomous handling system
As requested by Promolding, Connect 2 Cleanrooms BV equipped this ISO class 7 cleanroom with an internal change/transfer area, various assembly machines, a laser welding machine and a fully autonomous handling system.
Two injection moulding machines are connected to the cleanroom: a full electric injection moulding machine with 80 tonnes capacity and a 2K 300 tons injection moulding machine.
Commenting on the investment, Menco Verduin, Promolding MD, said: "The conditions under which you can develop medical instruments are very strict; the inspection criteria are also stringent, especially for invasive use. The final product must be thoroughly tested for contamination. In this new cleanroom the risks have been reduced to a minimum and circumstances stabilised optimally."
Promolding offers customers complete solutions with development and injection moulding of hi-tech plastic products, from product design, engineering to injection moulding and assembling.
