Lighting solutions for clean rooms must fulfill the highest hygienic requirements. This is a challenge since every lighting system must regularly be subjected to cleaning and maintenance. But how do you change bulbs without contaminating the clean room?
Waldmann's lighting engineers were faced with this and similar questions when asked to design solutions for the workplace lighting of the new production plant of B. Braun AG in the North Hessian town of Melsungen.
B. Braun – A big player in the world of medicine
The company supplies international health markets with products for anesthesia, intensive care medicine, cardiology, extracorporeal blood treatment or surgery. Furthermore, they also provide services to clinics, practicing doctors and the home care sector. The founding stone for the global group was laid in 1839 with a pharmacy and mail-order business for local herbs. Today, B. Braun has approx. 30,000 employees and generates a revenue of around 2.8 billion euros. High growth rates necessitate a continuous increase in capacities. The production plant that was built in 2007 in Melsungen is supposed to create the prerequisites for the doubling of production of infusion connecting systems. B. Braun invested around 77 million euros in the spectacular construction with a 5,600 square-meter production area. The lighting solution is just as spectacular. This solution was specially designed and produced by Waldmann to meet B. Braun AG's clean room requirements.
Waldmann's lighting engineers worked hand in hand with architects
Right from the outset, the clean room requirements were an integral part of the lighting specifications. Furthermore, the functional and individual vision requirements of more than 300 employees had to be satisfied in the new production building. Waldmann is regarded globally as an innovation and technology leader when the right light is needed for a workplace. Waldmann's lighting solutions improve the lighting quality, increase the productivity of employees and also reduce the energy costs. Energy efficiency and lighting comfort were also important decision-making criteria at B. Braun.
Waldmann's customized solution: Airtight ceiling mounted luminaires
The ceiling mounted luminaires used were especially developed for this project by Waldmann. The concept: The airtight ceiling installation of 474 special lighting panels based on Waldmann's lighting ranges ZWB with 4 x 54 Watt T16 fluorescent lamps. T16fluorescent tubes only have a diameter of 16 mm and generate significantly higher luminous fluxes than standard 26 mm lamps. The result is a much higher efficiency and a much lower energy consumption. A further individual special feature of the lighting panels used is the panel's back wall. This can be folded open and thus enables rapid changing of bulbs and other components.
The prerequisite for the installation of this solution was already created during the construction
An additional level was incorporated above the hall ceiling which holds the service cables and enables access for the maintenance staff, including access to the bulbs. Conclusion: Special tasks require special solutions and a partner who can think outside the box. That is why Waldmann has earned itself the title “Engineer of Light”.
