A controlled environment is essential for the manufacture of sensitive products. As every square meter Cleanroom is associated with high costs, our laminar flow modules offer an efficient solution. They make it possible to isolate individual production processes through targeted machine enclosures and thus reduce the required cleanroom area to a minimum.
The laminar flow, i.e. a uniform flow of air, effectively and specifically removes harmful particles during production.
We will be happy to look at your entire process together and supply you with the right laminar flow attachment, perfect for your cleanroom process and your injection molding machines.
Laminar flow attachments for injection molding processes
When manufacturing plastics for medical components or pharmaceutical packaging, you must comply with strict legal requirements and ensure contamination-free production. Avoiding airborne contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, dust and abrasion particles is a particular challenge.
Our CleanFlowCell® offers you a reliable solution: the laminar flow module can be flexibly attached to all standard injection molding machines and protects your production from contamination. Another advantage: changing the mold is particularly easy as the module can be moved sideways.
Customized machine enclosures
Many production machines and environments do not require large cleanrooms – a specific enclosure is often sufficient to control air flows and particle distribution. Our custom-made machine enclosures create clearly defined clean air areas and can be flexibly adapted to the size of your machines and conveyor systems – whether with PVC film curtains or fixed walls.
A precisely fitting enclosure creates a uniform, controlled air flow. Our high-performance filter systems reliably displace impure air from the process, minimize the particle concentration and thus protect your sensitive products from contamination.

Space-saving clean air zones
Cleanroom space is expensive. Our enclosures and attachments offer a cost-effective alternative.
Easy accessibility
Your machines remain easily accessible despite the cleanroom environment.
Injection molding in Cleanroom
If you manufacture plastic parts for the pharmaceutical or medical technology industries, you know how important maximum purity is throughout the entire supply chain. Strict regulations require controlled production in order to reliably avoid contamination.
With our laminar flow attachments, you can protect your components from contamination during production. They are then transported directly to Cleanroom via closed, automated conveyor belts – for reliable inspection and final packaging in accordance with the highest purity standards.
FAQ
Injection molding & Machine enclosures
What is the advantage of a machine enclosure?
Cleanroom space is very expensive. With our machine enclosures and attachments, we create a clean environment in the smallest of spaces through targeted laminar flow.
Our machine enclosures, which are equipped with laminar flow modules, offer considerable advantages in sensitive production environments. These enclosures ensure that clean air is directed into the work area through a controlled, laminar flow. This effectively removes particles and impurities from the air, which significantly improves production quality.
A particular advantage of this Cleanroom box is that it is a cost-effective solution for creating small, ultra-clean areas without the need for large cleanroom spaces. This is particularly beneficial in industries such as medical technology, electronics manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, where any contamination can have serious consequences.
What are the dimensions of the machine enclosures?
Our machine enclosures and attachments are individually adapted to your machine for each project. In this way, we ensure that the enclosures correspond exactly to the dimensions and special features of your machines. This not only enables efficient use of the available space, but also ensures that the laminar flow functions optimally and that maximum cleanliness is achieved in the work area. This is the only way we can create a safe process environment.
For which applications are the products suitable?
Our machine enclosures are suitable for automated processes that require a particle-free environment. The laminar flow modules, which are integrated into the enclosures, ensure controlled air quality and prevent contamination.
Examples of applications where SCHILLING ENGINEERING has installed machine enclosures with laminar flow modules include:
- Plastic injection molding
- Medical component production
- Packaging of medicines
- Infusion bag production
- Production of blood plasma bags
- Automated micro injection molding
- Hollow blow molding machines
- Ophthalmologic surgery
How does the machine enclosure ensure Cleanroomconditions?
Laminar flow modules equipped with ULPA 15 filters are installed in our machine enclosures. The targeted laminar air flow and the separation from the unclean area by flexible PVC curtains or fixed walls create ideal cleanroom conditions.
This Cleanroom box generates a uniform and controlled air flow thanks to the integrated laminar flow module. Particles are removed from the work area and a clean environment is ensured. Our ULPA 15 filters filter 99.9995% of particles down to 0.12 micrometers from the air, ensuring extremely high air purity. The flexible PVC curtains or fixed walls create a physical barrier that clearly separates the cleanroom area from the unclean area, minimizing contamination.
Can a machine enclosure replace a Cleanroom?
Our machine enclosures can replace a Cleanroom in some cases, especially if only certain production areas require a controlled environment. These Cleanroom boxes are equipped with laminar flow modules that generate a targeted, laminar air flow. This achieves a high level of air purity that is even better than the conditions in an Cleanroom.
The Cleanroom box is therefore an efficient solution as it only shields the required area, saving your company costs and space for large cleanroom areas. However, it is important to emphasize that the Cleanroom box is not suitable for every application.
