WITTMANN BATTENFELD with ultra-modern clean room technology at the Interplastica in Moscow

From 26 to 29 January 2016, WITTMANN BATTENFELD will present to interested trade visitors latest clean room technology in injection molding at the Interplastica in Moscow in hall 03, booth B17.

Technology for medical applications is in demand even in difficult economic times. Therefore WITTMANN BATTENFELD is presenting at this year’s Interplastica an injection molding machine from its all-electric EcoPower series specially designed for clean room applications in medical technology.

WITTMANN BATTENFELD has been active in medical technology for many years, with the main focus placed on micro injection molding so far. In 2015, the company has intensified its activities in this area and installed a clean room cell of its own at its Kottingbrunn plant, where the company’s machines are qualified for clean room requirements.



In the design of the EcoPower equipped for clean room applications, special attention has been paid to the cleanness of the mold space, and to keeping the machine’s emissions to the environment – that is to a clean room – as low as possible. For this purpose, the machine comes with the EcoPower “clean package”. This package includes among other things a water cooling system for the entire machine with a closed cooling circuit, nickel-plated mold fixing plates, use of food-grade lubricants and a special detergent- and disinfectant-resistant coat of paint. The machine also comes with a laminar flow box, a reject separator and an encapsulated clean-room conveyor belt installed below the clamping unit, supplied by Max Petek Reinraumtechnik, Germany.

At the Interplastica, the functionality of the EcoPower clean-room model will be demonstrated by manufacturing a tray for contact lenses from PP on an EcoPower 110/350. The parts drop freely onto the encapsulated clean-room conveyor belt from Max Petek Reinraumtechnik which subsequently transports them to a Petek laminar flow workstation.

In addition, auxiliary appliances from WITTMANN will be exhibited as stand-alone solutions.
