Schilling completes cleanroom for silicon hose production

Published: 26-Oct-2022

Switzerland-based Avintos chose the cleanroom firm, Schilling Engineering, to set up an area with varying cleanroom levels

Schilling Engineering was able to set up a 90 sqm ISO Class 9 cleanroom at the Avintos company in Rheinfelden, Switzerland. Avintos is a leading system supplier in the field of high-quality industrial fittings and hose assemblies. For the assembly of silicone hoses for the pharmaceutical industry, the modern company needs a clean environment.

An 11 sqm airlock area, which is entered via two fully glazed automatic sliding doors with mutual locking, ensures clean entry of personnel and material

The CleanCell4.0 cleanroom system was precisely adapted to the spatial conditions and offers a very bright and open working area thanks to the full glazing of the front and LED strips integrated into the ceiling profiles. The air is recirculated from the room directly to the filter fan unit, which is integrated into the ceiling area. This results in the already purified air being filtered again.

Thus, an ISO Class 7 could be measured in the cleanroom with only two FFUs and an ISO class 8 in the airlock. This method puts little strain on the U15 filters and the filter service life is very long.

Sockets, compressed air connections, network connections and fresh water connections were prepared inside the cleanroom for flexible use of the machine connections.
