The cleanroom enhancement project includes floor expansion, updated layout and optimized workcells to accommodate future growth, along with state-of-the-art cleanroom infrastructure technology. The extrusion cleanroom now complies with ISO Class 7 guidelines. “This project has increased our silicone extrusion capacity by over 50%, and ensures our longterm competitiveness for low, medium, and high volume silicone extrusion projects,” said Dr. Mark Ostwald, VP & General Manager of Freudenberg Medical in Carpinteria. “Our redesigned cleanroom will improve our lead times substantially while maintaining our tradition of outstanding quality and, therefore, adds value for both current as well as new customers.”
The silicone extrusion cleanroom in Carpinteria also accommodates the following value-added services: post curing, complex braiding and preforming, high precision cut-to-length, pigmented/striped tubing, barium sulfate mixing, laser marking, pad printing, packaging, assembly of tubing sets, and many other services.
