In the supply chains of medical devices, plastic packaging plays a central role in ensuring product quality. After all, it is about avoiding contamination of sensitive products. Microbiological and particulate contamination must be eliminated to protect the product and ensure patient safety. When th…

The technology and energy transition requires companies from all sectors of the manufacturing industry to adapt their processes. This also affects the quality-critical step of component cleaning. To meet current and future requirements for the technical cleanliness of components in a stable, efficie…

After initially being used mainly in medical technology, pharmaceuticals, and the chip industry, the purity requirements for the production environment have now also significantly increased in plastics processing. As a result, increasingly particle-free and, depending on the product, even germ-free…

Radioactivity can save lives. When neither chemotherapy or surgery nor radiation from the outside help against a tumor, modern medicine uses so-called radiopharmaceuticals. These radioactive drugs not only detect cancer cells, they also enable targeted radiation from the inside to destroy the tumor…

Anyone who controls particles in cleanrooms is familiar with ISO 14644. The best-known part is ISO 14644-1, which is relevant for classification. Far less well known is part -9, which deals with particles on surfaces. It deals with the surfaces of walls, ceilings, floors, work areas, tools and produ…

The Ewellix Medical Technology Team has developed a trio of clever solutions for the X-ray room. Thanks to the patented Drive Assisted Motion (X-Motion), both medical staff and patients benefit from increased comfort, safety, and precision.

"Specifically, we are talking about fully electric and synch…

In high-purity industries, companies are increasingly faced with the challenge of recording and documenting all cleaning process parameters for each batch of parts. Until now, in-line measuring of ultrasonic frequency and power in fully automated immersion cleaning systems has been a problem. Thanks…

The adapted interplay of cleanroom, personnel, material flow, process, cleaning, and agent technology is the prerequisite for the production of high-quality, contamination-sensitive products. The basis for this is the understanding of the type and amount of each critical contaminant. Building on thi…

We achieved gold status in the renowned, independent EcoVadis sustainability ranking. With 72 points out of a maximum of 100, we significantly increased our score compared to the last evaluation and are now among the top five percent of all participating companies in the industry.

Sustainability play…

Last Thursday, a local fire with heavy smoke development occurred in the building of the Test and Service Center (TDZ) on the premises of LPW Reinigungssysteme GmbH in Riederich. The cause was probably a technical defect in a water treatment system. Fortunately, no one was injured. The extent of the…
