CLEAN ROOM
The production of medical gaskets takes place in a dedicated area, the clean room, which is ISO 8 certified according to ISO 14644-1. This is a completely clean environment where the air is filtered repeatedly to remove dust particles, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, chemical vapours and other impurities that can damage production.
The clean room can be considered a company within a company. Divided between an area dedicated to production and finishing, an area dedicated to post-curing and washing/drying of finished parts, and an area dedicated to packaging. The clean room is equipped with several injection presses, mechanical deburring equipment and machinery, ovens for the gasket post-curing phase, washing machines fed with water treated by reverse osmosis and UV filters, and dedicated dryers fed by filtered air with HEPA-type absolute filters.
The clean room is used not only for the production of medical gaskets, but also for special processing of industrial gaskets applicable to certain special sectors, e.g. automotive, electronics and food & beverage, where cleanliness requirements are determined by specific standards.
In August 2019, we inaugurated the new and larger clean room of 1,000 mt2 located in the new plant dedicated to the production of components for the medical market.
EXTRUSION OF TRANSPARENT SILICONE TUBING
Guarnimed has a state-of-the-art line for the production of transparent silicone tubing in an ISO 8 clean room environment.
Advanced extrusion technology, high quality materials and a controlled environment are essential conditions to guarantee the quality, safety and conformity of the end product suitable for medical, pharmaceutical and food applications or in sectors where transparency, flexibility and resistance to high and low temperatures are crucial.
