Simtec Silicone Parts adds smart clean room for custom medical device manufacturing

Simtec Silicone Parts, a US-based liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and LSR multi-shot injection moulding specialist has added a class 8 clean room.

The clean room has been added in response to the rising demand from its life science customers.

Frank Dilly, Simtec’s managing director stated: “Medical device OEMs like our highly automated technology and have requested we add a clean room to our production.”

Simtec’s ISO class 8 clean room’s layout features material staging, whilst tool change occurs outside the clean room. Parts from fully-automated 1-shot and 2-shot lines are robotically removed and transported within a controlled enclosure, and delivered into the clean room for inspection, post-curing and bagging.

The design and infrastructure that is in place hopes to allow for quick expansion and growth.
