Clean-Room production With Highest Demands Concerning Room - and Room Air Quality

As first building activity of the master plan the existing BRAND die casting production (BSZ) of BRAND GMBH + CO KG is expanded by approximately 4,200 m². The new clean-room of approx. 3,200 m² which was planned cost-consciously and aesthetically is the highlight of the die casting centre. It offers optimal production preconditions with a high degree of cleanness and safety. Via double-skin walls the air in the clean-room is evacuated and brought in again via air cushions in the suspended ceiling. The colour white dominates as basic tint within the whole clean-room. The technology of the building is located easily accessible on the roof. The logistics area enables the link to the logistics centre in timed routing. High changeableness and a continuous colour design ensure the best basic conditions for a freely configurable production of the future.
