Since October 2004, Pöppelmann FAMAC® has been producing under cleanroom conditions. The injection moulding machines and all control cabinets, auxiliary devices etc. are located outside of the clean room. This reduces the power requirements and operating costs of the air conditioning. Retrofits and subsequent extensions of the machine can be carried out without any restrictions so that customers’ requirements are accommodated in a flexible manner. The tooling area outside the cleanroom is easily accessible for tool change and maintenance purposes without influencing the work process in the clean room and thus the quality of the plastic components. If an injection moulding machine or an additional system gets damaged, it will not result in a contamination of the cleanroom. Filter systems ensure a particle and germ concentration pursuant to DIN EN ISO 14644 – Class 7 and Class C of the EC GMP, i.e. less than 350,000 particles/m3 down to a size of 0.6 µm.
