Tech Mold adds white room

Tech Mold Inc. (Tempe, AZ), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality, high-cavitation injection molds for the medical, pharmaceutical, consumer, and cap and closure markets, announced that the company is adding a white-room environment to its test facility. The white room will initially house two all-electric presses, one a 55-ton high-performance Arburg all-electric press, and the other a 90-ton press also from Arburg.
   
Jerry Seidelman, sales and marketing manager for Tech Mold, said that the decision to add a white room to Tech Mold’s test facility was driven by a desire to better facilitate the testing and qualification of the many molds the company builds for medical and pharmaceutical OEMs.   
   
“Tech Mold has always been attuned to its customers’ requirements throughout the entire molding and manufacturing process,” stated Seidelman. “We recognized that many of our customers’ molds are going into cleanrooms, and rather than perform mold qualification in an open environment, we want to provide an environment that is more comparable. This will ensure that the pre-qualification of the molds and parts do not exceed minimal contamination requirements and more truly reflects what the customer will see in a cleanroom environment.”
   
Tech Mold also has an R&D (Rapid Delivery) division that specializes in collaborative engineering for developmental prototype tooling, offering its OEM customers dimensionally correct parts in hand, while at the same time laying the groundwork of critical mold parameters and manufacturing information that translates easily into multicavity production molds.
   
Tech Mold’s expertise includes two-shot, multicomponent, and multimaterial molds; stack molds; and high-production hot runner molds to help OEMs optimize their manufacturing. The company also works with premier molding machinery manufacturers and robotics providers to design and construct molding cells. —Clare Goldsberry
