Wickert Cleanroom Presses: Key Technology for Elastomer Processing
Growing demand from the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors as well as from manufacturers of bipolar plates and components in the semiconductor industry
Landau/Germany, May 27, 2026. Wickert Maschinenbau is experiencing a significant increase in demand for specialized hydraulic presses for elastomer processing in cleanrooms. These systems are primarily used for producing closure systems for pharmaceutical packaging, in the manufacturing of bipolar plates for fuel cells, and for seals and machine components in semiconductor production.
The driving force behind this trend is the growing interest in high-quality packaging components for costly and sensitive medical substances. Additional cleanrooms are also required to meet the rising demand for personalized medicine, such as prefilled disposable syringes for self-medication. The COVID-19 pandemic already highlighted the importance of vacuum compression presses for manufacturing these products.
Cleanroom hydraulic presses are used, among other things, to produce pharmaceutical closure systems made of butyl rubber (IIR) and bromobutyl rubber (BIIR). They are also applied in the production of sealing foils for bipolar plates made of elastomers as well as valve membranes from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for chemical and medical applications. Rubber-metal composites for semiconductor production are likewise manufactured on these systems.
