Operating at the forefront of orthopaedic implant polishing technology for over 20 years, Kemet International Ltd has been instrumental in revolutionising the quality and cost of production of tibial trays and hip heads/cups. With a focus on medical implant manufacturers, Kemet has established itself as a leading provider of automated polishing solutions, working with top implant producers to deliver highly polished, blemish-free surfaces.
The medical implant market is predicted to be worth nearly $50 billion by the end of 2024, driven by growing demand for cost-effective and high-quality implants. In response to this demand, Kemet offers a range of innovative solutions aimed at reducing production costs and increasing productivity. For example, just two operators can process 240 trays every 12 hours using Kemet's largest tibial polishing system, based on a Kemet 36 machine. This system integrates in-process cleaning and generates a perfectly flat and highly polished surface.
Kemet also supplies bespoke tooling and consumables for cone polishing, designed to meet the specific needs of any tray design. With a deep understanding of the special requirements of the medical industry, including lengthy validation procedures, Kemet offers free testing and reporting to ensure cost benefits before validation.
In addition to reducing costs, Kemet's expertise in surface finishing has enabled the development of new processes and consumables, such as the NLH pad and Sphericloth range of cloths.
Kemet's commitment to innovation and cost-effectiveness extends beyond polishing solutions. The company now offers process cleaning, passivation, and FPI lines, which have been highly successful in the aerospace industry and are well-suited for medical part production. These pre-designed systems range from small manual lines to fully automated lines, including pre-cleaning, dye penetrant, spray cleaning, hot air drying, developer dust storm cabinets, and inspection booths.
Kemet International Ltd continues to be at the forefront of orthopaedic implant polishing technology, providing cost-effective and innovative solutions to meet the growing demands of the medical implant market. Whether it is reducing production costs or increasing productivity, Kemet offers reliable and repeatable solutions that you can trust.
