We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Cleanroom",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release UK photo etching service expands from
Precision Micro, which we summarised at the time by saying "Precision component manufacturer uses phopto etching to process the exotic, corrosion resistant materials used widely in the aerospace and chemical processing industries".
The day before,
we featured the news release Invest in robotic handling and raise profits from
ICS Robotics and Automation: "Should users of packaging and materials handling make an investment in handling robots, they will generally see a return on investment within 6-18 months, said ICS".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Enviro Tech Europe
- take a look at Critical cleaning experts stage UK workshops
which says: "Two world renowned experts in critical cleaning will be flying into the UK from the USA to stage a series of essential workshops at the 3C Contamination Control and Cleanroom Products show".
Take a look also at the news release from WorkPoint Environments, Downdraught workbench has HEPA filtration,
as well as Hard disc makers demand more from cleaning from Guyson International,
and 35 years of microcontamination monitors from Particle Measuring Systems.
