Netstal demonstrates maximum efficiency and clean room compatibility in the production of infusion devices

Schnell, präzise, zuverlässig, anwenderfreundlich und wirtschaftlich im Betrieb - die vollelektrische ELION / Fast, precise, reliable, user-friendly and efficient in operation – the all-electric ELION

Infusionsverteiler – eine Produktion im „sauberen Raum“ ist bei dieser Anwendung unerlässlich / Distributor for infusions – production in a clean room is essential for this application

–    High standard of system expertise for clean room applications at partner company HRSflow's stand at K 2013
–    Top precision and energy savings guaranteed

Netstal will be presenting an all-electric ELION 1750 for medical applications at the stand of partner company HRSflow at K 2013 (Hall 1, Stand B08). Thanks to its excellent engineering and the highly cost-effective solution that it proposes, the machine is brilliantly suited to the production of parts for clean rooms in accordance with international guidelines.

ELION: Maximum precision and energy savings with the ELION 1750
The requirements placed on manufacturers in the medical sector in terms of cleanliness, precision, short cycle times and low material costs are very high. "The all-electric ELION is ideal for use in clean rooms. It guarantees the high-precision manufacture of sterile parts in a very clean environment while achieving very short cycle times in compliance with all applicable legal regulations. The customer benefits from excellent mechanical engineering and a highly cost-effective solution thanks to our system and application expertise," explained Dr. Patrick Blessing, Head of Business Unit MED. At K 2013, Netstal will be producing PC infusion devices on a ELION 1750-530 with a cycle time of approximately 16 seconds. The PC material is being provided by Sabic Europ and the 16-cavity mold is coming courtesy of Italian moldmaker RB / HRS. Meanwhile, Italian-based company Piovan is taking care of raw material supply and cooling equipment. "The ELION features encapsulated joint, closed drag chains, water-cooled electric motors and clean room cleading so that virtually emission-free operation is guaranteed. Moreover, the processor benefits from the machine's extremely low energy consumption." Thanks to the principle of energy recovery, braking energy is fed back into the internal electrical circuit to supply additional consumers. When used efficiently, it is possible to save up to 70 percent of energy consumption compared to conventional drive systems. "As a result of this saving, our customers can verifiable manufacture their products more cost-effectively in the long term," added Blessing.
