Clean room hoists and lifting equipment for the pharmaceutical sector require very stringent controls for contaminants. The cleanroom cleanliness level is high(Class 100-10000,ISO 5-8, Class A-D), the standard pharmaceutical cleanroom systems need to meet the requirements of GMP,FDA, WHO and other pharmaceutical standard.
Key Requirements for Clean Room Hoists
Material Compatibility:
• Hoists must be constructed from materials that do not emit particles or off-gasses that could contaminate the clean room environment. Stainless steel and non-corrosive alloys are preferred for their resistance to chemical cleaning agents and sterilization processes.
Smooth Surfaces and Easy Cleaning
• The design should eliminate crevices and protrusions where dust or microorganisms might accumulate. Smooth surfaces facilitate easy and thorough cleaning, ensuring no contaminants are harbored.
Anti-Microbial Coatings
• Some hoists may be treated with anti-microbial coatings to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, further enhancing the clean room's sterility.
Sealed Components
• All moving parts, electrical components, and seals must be hermetically sealed to prevent the ingress of particulates and to contain any lubricants that could contaminate the environment.
Lubrication
• Food-grade or FDA-approved lubricants are used to minimize the risk of contamination. Some hoists may feature self-lubricating components to reduce maintenance and the need for external lubrication.
Applications in Pharmaceutical Clean Rooms
Pharmaceutical clean room hoists are utilized in various tasks, including:
Material Handling
• Moving raw materials, containers, and finished products between different processing stages.
Equipment Installation and Maintenance
• Lifting and positioning equipment during installation and maintenance activities.
Sterilization Processes
• Transferring items in and out of autoclaves and sterilization chambers.
Packaging and Distribution
• Assisting in the packaging and distribution of pharmaceutical products while maintaining the clean room's controlled environment.
