Cleanroom Considerations For Injection Moulding
Injection moulding in cleanrooms allows medical plastics to be produced in a controlled environment ensuring a high-quality product without fear of contamination. Manufacturing products for the medical industry means the output of these processes often come into direct contact with the human body, so contamination control is of top priority. This is where cleanrooms come in!
Moulders that are serious about reducing defects and improving manufacturing yields to boost profitability, are considering the cleanliness of their production environment at a microscopic level.
Dust particles as miniscule as 0.1 microns are controlled, so exposed parts of the run are protected from contamination. Bearing in mind the average human hair is 100 microns in diameter, if contamination is an issue then a clean production environment can produce measurable and immediate return on investment, starting on the first production run.
