BOY Spanish distributor with home field advantage

Kompakte Reinraumanwendung auf der BOY 35 E / Compact cleanroom application on the BOY 35 E

From September 29th thru October 3rd, the BOY Spanish distributor C.T. SERVICIO S.A. will demonstrate two BOY injection moulding machines at Equiplast/Barcelona in hall 3C / booth 371. A cleanroom application on the BOY 35 E (350 kN clamping force) and the production of circular bookmarks on a BOY XS (100 kN clamping force) will be shown.

Both machines will be equipped with the multi-patented Procan ALPHA ® 2 control. The multi-language-independent configured control is characterized by intuitive operability. The multi-touch capability of the new screen technology will be especially impressive. Like modern communication devices, the pages can be selected by swiping.

Advantageous design

The BOY 35 E, optioned for a cleanroom application, will show the sprueless production of insulin pen covers in a sixteen-cavity mould. In addition to a special anti-static coating, this machine, which is optioned for cleanroom class ISO 7, will be equipped with an ionization box for air filtration in the mould area and many stainless steel parts.

“The less space that must be isolated from ambient air, the lower the technical and financial production costs”, explains Michael Kleinebrahm, BOY Manager Process Engineering. “Since the hydraulic clamping cylinders of the two-platen clamping unit are outside of the cantilevered mould area, this design provides significant advantages for the production of parts in a cleanroom environment. With this BOY 35 E application, the entire cleanroom incorporates the mould area of the clamping unit. The ionization box is integrated on the safety gate; a space-saving placement. The investment and operating costs are reduced to a minimum. The commercially available solutions for cleanroom applications are usually complex and therefore expensive. The BOY compact solution is a competitive and efficient alternative”. The BOY 35 E efficient drive concept with a servo motor pump drive losses very small amounts of heat and in connection with laminar flow hoods and stainless steel execution, represents an ideal cleanroom machine configuration. BOY is a system supplier that works together with powerful, specialized partners.
