BOY will show a compact cleanroom application in Sweden

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

At the Elmia Polymer plastics trade fair in Jonköping / Sweden from April 21 – 24, 2015, BOY will demonstrate to the professional attendees a cleanroom application on the compact BOY 35 E (clamping force 350 kN). In the booth of the Swedish BOY distributor AWI Maskin AB in hall / booth A01:15, protective insulin syringe caps will be produced without a sprue in a 16-cavity mould.

This machine, which is designed for the production of medical parts, will be equipped with special antistatic painting, an ionization box for air filtration in the mould area and many parts manufactured from stainless steel.

Advantageous design

“The less space that has to be separated from the ambient air, the lower are the technical and financial production costs.“, explains Michael Kleinebrahm, BOY Manager Process Engineering. “Since the hydraulic clamping cylinder of the two-platen clamping unit is placed outside of the cantilevered mould space, this design provides significant advantages for part production under cleanroom conditions. The entire BOY 35 E cleanroom consists of the mould area of the clamping unit and an ionization box that is integrated on the safety gate in a space-saving manner. The investment and operating costs are therefore reduced to a minimum. Other cleanroom solutions, which are available in the market, are mostly complex and therefore expensive. The compact BOY solution offers a well-priced, efficient alternative.”

The efficient BOY 35 E drive concept with a servo-motor pump drive generates little wasted heat. The laminar flow unit along with stainless steel gates completes an optimal cleanroom machine configuration. BOY, as the system supplier, cooperates with powerful, specialized partners.

The exhibit will be equipped with the multi-patented Procan ALPHA ® 2 control. The control, which is configured as a nearly language independent unit, is characterized through intuitive operability. The multi-touch capability of the new, “smart screen” technology will be especially impressive. Just like with modern communication devices, pages are changed by swiping and scroll functions remain available.
