Trimming and packaging can also be carried out within the same room to eliminate any chance of outside contamination.
“The new clean manufacturing area will enable us to supply customers in contamination sensitive industries, such as aerospace, marine, medical and pharmaceuticals,” said Keaflex’s managing director Andy Tuffield.
The new facility comes at a time the Hampshire based company is investing substantially in new machinery, including a 250 tonne injection moulding press. Keaflex specialises in elastomer engineering and provides a comprehensive service for the design and manufacture of elastomer components, including complex 3D mouldings.
