A food grade cleanroom crane is a type of lifting equipment used in places such as food processing, packaging and storage. Its main purpose is to carry out the handling and lifting of items in a highly clean environment. These cranes use anti-contamination designs and materials to prevent any possible sources of contamination and ensure the safety and quality of food.
Main forms of cleanroom lifting equipment
● Overhead cranes: Lifting and moving of items in cleanrooms through bridge structures across the working area. They are usually equipped with electric hoists and are suitable for applications that require large spans and high lifting capacities.
● Gantry cranes: Suitable for fixed-height working environments, with stable structures and efficient lifting capacities.
● Jib cranes: Provide a large working range in cleanrooms, can be rotated to cover specific areas, and are suitable for handling items within a smaller range.
● Electric hoists: Integrated with other lifting equipment to provide efficient lifting solutions.
Main advantages
● The use of high-quality stainless steel or other anti-corrosion materials ensures long-term durability of the equipment in wet and high-temperature environments.
● Designed with smooth, seamless surfaces to reduce the accumulation of dust and microorganisms, it is easy to clean and disinfect.
● All connections and moving parts are sealed to prevent the infiltration of contaminants.
● Some cranes are equipped with anti-static design to reduce the impact of static electricity on food and the environment.
● The equipment structure is designed to facilitate disassembly and cleaning, ensuring thorough hygiene management.
Applications in food processing facilities
● Manufacturing plants: handle raw materials and finished products while maintaining strict cleanliness standards.
● Packaging facilities: used to lift and move packaged goods in a contamination-free environment.
● Research and development laboratories: precise material handling is essential for developing new food products and processes.
