Low lint for cleaner results

In the textile-care business the filtering of waste water performs major tasks. In the first place it removes foreign bodies from the liquor which, when re-using water flows, would be deposited on the goods. Since these undesired deposits always contain a larger proportion of lint, the industry is committed to minimising the particle discharge which comes in its own area of responsibility. This is successfully attained by a harmonisation of all components involved in the washing process. Texcare International will be showcasing the latest developments in this field, featuring new analysis methods, process guidelines and specialist filters.

What demands do new therapies employing highly active substances place on production in the medical field, and what can be done to ensure that products and personnel enjoy optimum protection? Answers to these and other questions will be on offer at the Cleanzone Conference accompanying the Cleanzone trade fair on 23 and 24 October 2018.

‘Cleanzone Campus’ – expanding cleanroom knowledge through research

Universities and research institutes are drivers of innovation for industry – particularly in the highly dynamic field of cleanroom technology. Their findings give rise to new approaches, offer solutions to current problems and lay the foundation for future products and processes. With Cleanzone Campus at the Cleanzone trade fair on 23 and 24 October 2018 in Frankfurt am Main, Messe Frankfurt has created a platform where research institutes in the field of cleanroom technology can present their projects.

Pure safety

Micro-biological contamination poses the biggest challenge for manufacturing processes in the life sciences. Bioluminescence-based processes offer the potential to identify airborne micro-organisms faster in future – including real-time monitoring. Yet particulate contamination is also becoming increasingly important. The Cleanzone cleanroom trade fair will offer an overview on Tuesday and Wednesday, 23 and 24 October 2018, in Frankfurt am Main.

BIM: The formula for outstanding cleanroom planning using a virtual roundtable

Building Information Modelling (BIM) comprises a virtual roundtable for architects, engineers, laboratory planners and cleanroom specialists, airflow simulations, and much, much more. Superficially, these fields may appear to have very little in common, but that is not the case. Digital technology brings all of this together, and the VDI Association of German Engineers is already issuing new guidelines for its practical use. Current and future possibilities for the use of BIM in cleanrooms will be on display at the Cleanzone trade fair on 23 and 24 October 2018 in Frankfurt am Main.
