Pajunk GmbH develops and manufactures various medical technology products. At the headquarters in Geisingen, Baden-Württemberg, a new production and logistics center has been built, featuring a cleanroom of GMP Class D, covering an area of 1,015 m². (Source: bc-technology GmbH)

Various work steps are carried out in the new cleanroom: These include, among others, the production of products for biopsies and anesthesia as well as testing and packaging processes. (Source: bc-technology GmbH)

Some components are manufactured using the plastic injection molding process. However, production in the cleanroom has the disadvantage that the machines generate a lot of heat, which results in high energy consumption due to the installed air conditioning units. Therefore, bc-technology, in collaboration with the injection molding machine manufacturer, developed a concept that allows the machines to be integrated into the cleanroom wall without the development of unwanted particles. (Source: bc-technology GmbH)

The injection molding machine is located in the black area of the new production and logistics center. However, it can be loaded and unloaded from the cleanroom. For the injection area, a horizontally flowing filter fan unit (FFU) was attached to the housing of the injection molding machine as a protective zone, ensuring that the components are always kept under cleanroom conditions. (Source: bc-technology GmbH)

During the planning of the cleanroom, bc-technology had to consider Pajunk's requirement that machines can still be connected afterwards, which are to be put into operation at different times and independently of each other.

In the visitor corridor area, the cleanroom features a full-height, large-area glass wall. (Source: bc-technology GmbH)

The new Freeformer 300-3X features three discharge units and a divided build chamber door. It is designed for industrial additive manufacturing and can be integrated into production lines automatically. (Photo: Arburg)

The Freeformer 300-3X can additively produce durable functional parts in a hard/soft combination from three components – e.g., movable gripper fingers made of TPU, ABS, and support material. (Photo: Arburg)

Using the AKF process, the component density can be specifically controlled. Honeycomb structures can be produced from TPE Medalist MD 12130H (hardness 32 Shore A), which could be used, for example, in lightweight construction or as filter elements. (Photo: Arburg)
