Customer specific CleanForm solutions for medical parts
(Munich, July 30, 2012) During Taipei Plast in Taipei (Hall 1F, Booth
I1401), KraussMaffei will focus on MX machines from Chinese
production and CleanForm technology certified according to GMP
(Good Manufacturing Process) guidelines for the manufacture of
plastic products for medical and technical applications in cleanrooms.
With the solution concepts based on the CX and EX Series,
KraussMaffei is the world's only manufacturer of injection molding
machines to have already successfully implemented several cleanroom
cells up to Class 5 according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1.
Injection molding machines for daily and extraordinary tasks
MX 850 machines from local Chinese production are ideal tools for daily and
extraordinary tasks at regional plastic processors of all industries. "Our
special solutions in injection molding machinery and high efficiency with
innovative strength were the main factors in the last few years that allowed
us to successfully establish ourselves on the Asian market“, explains Frank
Peters, Vice President Sales at the injection molding segment of
KraussMaffei. "KraussMaffei stands for top machine quality, technical and
user-oriented innovation and reliable service“. Multiple component machines
and large machines with compression molding functions for the production of
complex components are used, in particular, in the automotive and
electronics industry. With its MX swivel plate and compression molding
machine for multicolor television screen frames and windshields,
KraussMaffei has positioned itself on the Asian market just as successfully
as with the CX Multinject for multicolor and multiple component applications
in the low and medium clamping force ranges. Combined processes from
injection molding and reaction process technology, among others, SkinForm

and produce components with excellent surfaces in a single work step.
Haptic requirements are also met, as well as high-gloss lacquer surfaces.
One step ahead in terms of cleanliness
Injection molding machines from KraussMaffei offer ideal requirements for
successful production under clean conditions. The CX Series was therefore
successfully certified according to Cleanroom Class ISO 5, ISO 14644-1 and
also, as an isolator principle, GMP Sterility Class A. "KraussMaffei has been
a reliable partner for many years for the medical and pharmaceutical
industries with its CX and EX machines. The all-electric EX CleanForm sets
the highest standards throughout the industry in regard to the production of
sterile components", said Dr. Karlheinz Bourdon, Vice president
Technologies at the injection molding segment of KraussMaffei. The EX
CleanForm production cell was systematically designed for cleanroom
applications in the highest classes (Class A according to GMP).
Flexible machine technology, extensive solution expertise
Clean molding production requires, in particular, extensive knowledge of
contamination sources and their remedial measures. Depending on the
component and the production environment, an adapted production cell
comprising a machine, a cleanroom and an automation concept represents
the solution for complex molding production. To this end, KraussMaffei offers
different machine series featuring specific advantages for the CleanForm
variants "inside“, "outside drop“, "outside robot“ and "room-in-room“. In
addition to the supply of machines and robots, the successful outcome of a
project at KraussMaffei includes consulting, engineering and documentation
services. "We know the special requirements in the medical industry and can
supply the right solutions together with our colleagues in Automation", said
Thomas Hörl, Key Account Manager Medical at KraussMaffei.
Extensive module for an ideal cleanroom machine
With the uncompromisingly compact hydraulic CX Series and the all-electric
EX series containing the attribute "uncompromisingly fast", the manufacturer
offers an extensive module for configuring the ideal cleanroom machine for
every customer. The CleanForm production cell is completed by linear
robots with vertical or lateral entry and industrial robots in different designs.
