| Manufacturing Facilities In order to ensure complete quality control over every stage of the manufacturing process, Terra Universal operates a manufacturing and administrative complex that offers comprehensive fabrication capabilities: CNC Metal Fabrication Terra Universal's three metal shops house CNC (computer numerical control) equipment to perform the following precision metal operations:
In addition, Terra provides electropolishing to produce the smooth, nonparticulating stainless steel surfaces required in cleanroom applications. CNC Plastic Fabrication Terra Universal's plastics shop provides precision CNC routing, cutting, drilling, forming and solvent/thermal welding a variety of plastics, including hard and soft acrylic, PVC, polypropylene and polycarbonate. Terra has extensive experience in fabrication of static-dissipative PVC, which features molecularly embedded dissipative layers that yield a surface resistivity in the dissipative range (between 106 and 108 ohms/cm2). Polypropylene Fabrication This specialty fab is devoted to CNC routing, cutting, milling, and drilling of polypropylene used in wet processing and cleaning stations. Thermal welding techniques ensure durable, leak-proof joints required in critical applications with acids and other hazardous process chemistries. Laminate Sealing As a major manufacturer of cleanroom benches and storage cabinets, Terra Universal maintains a laminate shop that expertly seals all edges of the electrically controlled surface polymers over the fibercore substrates, yielding work surfaces that will not slough or outgas. Electrical/Electronics Assembly Most of Terra's controllers incorporate microprocessor-based control boards, which are manufactured, assembled, and tested on-site. Wiring of electrical equipment conforms with local electrical codes, and the use of all-stainless steel chassis helps maintain cleanroom compatibility. Most systems are available with third-party certification. Industry Experience Manufacturers in other industries with similar requirements for critical environments sought out Terra to fabricate products to their own specifications. Partnering with leading companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device manufacturing industries, Terra developed new lines of storage and handling equipment.
Terra's success stems from Terra's strong commitment to take on unique manufacturing challenges in critical environments. Staffed by experienced critical environment specialists, Terra remains dedicated to meeting the challenges that manufacturers face today through advanced-technology engineering and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
