Similar to overhead cranes for food and beverages, these hoists are designed to minimize contamination risks while maintaining high standards of hygiene and operational efficiency.

アドバンテージ

1. Low dust material

The sling or rope made of special fiber material for the fiber belt electric hoist has a lower dust generation rate than the traditional wire rope or chain. This material is not only not easy to produce dust by itself, but also can effectively reduce the particles generated when rubbing with other objects inside the clean room, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the clean room.

2. Precise control to reduce the risk of pollution

The electric hoist adopts an electric drive system, which realizes the smooth lifting, descending, and horizontal movement of material handling by precisely controlling the speed and power of the motor. This kind of precise control not only improves operating efficiency but also reduces the risk of collision and pollution that may be caused by improper manual operation, and further guarantees the clean environment of the clean room.

3.Easy to clean and maintain

The design of the fiber belt electric hoist fully takes into account the maintenance needs of the clean room environment. Its surface is smooth and has no dead ends, making it easy to use cleaners and tools for quick and thorough cleaning. At the same time, its compact structure makes it easy to disassemble and replace parts, which reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

4. Corrosion resistance and strong adaptability

For chemical gases or corrosive substances that may exist in clean rooms, fiber-band electric hoists are made of corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term stable operation in complex environments and extend the service life of equipment.

Stainless steel or special alloy materials are used to manufacture chains and key components. These materials not only have excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but also effectively reduce particle shedding and ensure that the clean room environment is not polluted.

2.Oil-free lubrication system

Use oil-free or low-volatile lubricants to reduce the volatilization and residue of lubricating greases and avoid pollution to the clean room air. At the same time, optimize the lubrication structure, extend the lubrication cycle, and reduce the maintenance frequency.

3.Well sealed

Enhance the sealing of the gourd, prevent external dust from entering the internal mechanism, and also prevent the leakage of particles caused by the wear of internal components. Through the fine sealing design, it is ensured that the hoist does not produce additional pollution during operation.

4.Anti-static control

For certain special needs, such as in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the electrostatic control of the ring chain hoist also needs to be considered. By adding a conductive coating or grounding device, the accumulation of static electricity is effectively eliminated and electrostatic discharge is prevented from causing damage to sensitive components.
