We are your experienced partner for high-performance injection molding applications in the pharmaceutical, diagnostics, medical equipment and healthcare sectors. The requirements in terms of cleanliness, precision, short cycle times and minimal material costs are exacting. We contribute decisively to helping you reliably meet your standards.
Your benefits
Ensure a high level of cleanliness
Even in the standard configuration, the all-electric models of our Elion series meet clean room class ISO 7. Depending on the product requirements, ISO classes below ISO 7 can also be achieved through numerous optional features such as additional cover panels, extraction devices, closed media feeds and special medical coating.
Quality consistently reproduced
Precision and reproducibility is essential in high-volume applications. Our all-electric injection units work with integrated force measurement. A unique selling proposition that is standard at Netstal. Using this technology, we have been ensuring part weight stability within strict tolerance limits in the most complex applications for decades.
Sustainably increase availability
Our recipe to successfully increase your system availability: Reliable and safely operable technology that functions at maximum speed with peak precision in 24/7 operation. In the unlikely event of a problem, you can always fall back on our global service network. Being localized, we can provide support either on-site or online.
Sustainably minimize unit costs
Our leading technology and decades of experience in high performance medical applications combine to specifically reduce your unit costs and increase your ability to compete in a competitive market environment.
