Genesis Plastics Welding, one of the industry's leading contract manufacturing companies, is investing $500,000 to expand its Class 7 clean room to increase production capacity of radio frequency (RF) plastics welding of medical devices, supplies and equipment.
The company is doubling the size of its current medical clean room, a controlled environment that meets the medical device clean room requirements of an ISO Class 7 Standard 14644 clean zone for particle count testing. The clean room features a number of heat sealing processes including impulse welding, sonic welding and RF welding of both polar materials and non-polar materials. Thermoplastics heat sealing of non-polar materials is achieved using ecoGenesis(TM), the company's proprietary technology. The clean room also features a gown room that meets the requirements of an ISO Class 8 clean room.
"The expansion of our medical clean room is an important milestone in our growth initiatives," said Tom Ryder, president and chief executive officer of Genesis Plastics Welding. "The medical industry is a key vertical market where Genesis can bring significant value. Our heat sealing services paired with an ISO Standard 14644 medical clean room enables us to provide high quality, FDA-compliant contract manufacturing services to medical device, supply and equipment companies around the globe."
Genesis has a large and fast-growing customer roster of medical device, supply and equipment manufacturers. The heat sealing specialist has experience welding medical products such as surgical instrument covers, medical device inflatable components, oxygen hoods, compression therapy and DVT sleeves, cooling caps, disposable warming blankets, cooling therapy products, fluid bladders and drainage bags.
About Genesis Plastics Welding
Genesis Plastics Welding is one of the industry's leading contract manufacturing companies that specializes in radio frequency (RF) plastics welding of thermoplastic products and components for industries including medical, military, automotive, marine and consumer products. Unique to the plastics welding industry, Genesis' proprietary heat sealing technology allows RF plastics welding of polyethylene, polypropylene and nearly any low-loss polymer in film, foam and fabric layers. The technology is an ideal replacement for Polyvinylchloride (PVC) and Polyurethane with "green" phthalate-free plastics as it causes polymers with low dielectric loss factors to respond to RF plastics welding just like PVC. The company's plastics welding technology, ecoGenesis, also aids in cost reduction as it eliminates the need for expensive heat seal additives and enables the substitution of lower cost raw materials. Available for private licensing to manufacturers, ecoGenesis can be quickly integrated into any existing RF heat sealing machine.
