Clamason Industries Ltd

With plants in UK and Slovakia, Clamason Industries makes pressed metal, precision components for World-class medical devices. Applications can range from highly complex drugs delivery device assemblies to electric cauterisation scalpels and joint replacement components. Clamason has the capability to comprehensively process validate using DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ protocols. Its team is fully trained in URS, CAPA and GMP.

Clamason's pressings provide superior solutions for many common plastics applications. Often comparing poorly to metal pressings, plastics may suffer from shrinkage, joint line and RFI / EMI shielding problems, be degraded over time by heat, light and UV rays and hold lower dimensional tolerances. Plastics are hydroscopic (absorb water) and becoming ever more expensive owing to their oil content. Then, unlike plastics, Clamason presswork is recyclable in 95% of cases. Stainless steel implies maximum cleanliness and hygiene too.

Clamason's modern stamping technology is equally superior to competing metalworking processes such as casting, diecasting and machining. Clamason's presses either minimise carry strip or use precut blanks and give unmatchable consistency of material, tolerances and surface finish over a million batch produced at high speed.

The advantages of pressing are many and varied. The variable of heat, often a problem to casters and moulders, is absent from the process. Diecasters and moulders of small components cannot create the thin-wall sections down to 0.1mm possible with pressing. Subtle changes are easy to make to the characteristics of pressed materials to suit the application - there are hundreds of grades of stainless steel alone - whereas a diecaster has a choice of a few alloys only. Then prototypes are far cheaper, quicker and easier to make with the stamping process and represent more closely what the final production component will be.
