SP-Line Electric Lift Solutions Tailored to the Pharmaceutical and Biotech Industry

Our SP-line of electric lift solutions is tailored to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry with focus on compliance to industry standards.

Custom solutions and a wide range of options are also available to suit almost any need.

Lifting Production Equipment in Cleanrooms

Ideal for use in cleanrooms, these hygienic, electric lifting aids in stainless steel are used for a wide variety of lifting tasks, including lifting and rotating all manner of rolls, drums, barrels, sacks, cans, containers, vessels, filters, filter houses, boxes, trays, lids, covers, wash racks for washing machines etc.

Matching ISO Classes and Complying with GMP Regulations

We know that the hygienic and sanitary requirements of one type of cleanroom may differ widely from that of another. And we also understand how crucial compliance to cleanliness regulations is in pharmaceutical production.

Therefore our design can match several ISO classificiations (ISO 5, ISO 6, ISO 7, ISO 8 or ISO 9) so that you can put to rest your worries about cross-contamination risks and stray airborne particles.

To further guarantee product safety, purity and quality in manufacturing processes we strictly adhere to the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) regulations issued and enforced by your country’s authorities and government agencies.

How Our Electric Lift Design Ensures Product Safety

As such, ease of cleaning and hygienic design has been a top priority throughout the design of our SP-series of material handling equipment.

Corrosive Resistant Stainlesss Steel: AISI 304 (1.4401) and AISI 316L (1.4301)

We offer to build our lifting machinery in two types of austenitic stainless steel, AISI 304 (1.4301) and AISI 316L (1.4401) all depending on the corrosion resistance required.

The chemical composition of these two types of stainless steel are very similar except for the amount of molybdenum which is higher in AISI 316L which it more corrosive resistant and thus a safer choice in e.g. chloride rich environments.

So if your environment is either acidic or salty or characterised by high temperature, AISI 316L is the way to go.

Water Resistance: Ingress Protection of IP65

All our mini lifts are rated with an ingress protection of IP65. This ensures that all electrical compartments such as control unit, battery compartment and motor compartment are dust and water resistant and can withstand a jet of water which is relevant when needing to hose down the lifter.

Also our material handling lifts are resistant to caustic cleaners and are as such are suitable for pharmaceutical cleaning practices.

Low Surface Roughness

Stainless steel should be easy to clean without the risk of microorganisms, dirt and bacteria adhering to the surface.

The smoother the surface, the longer it will last (in terms of wear and tear) and the more hygienic it will be.

Thus in a cleanroom environment it is crucial to strive for as low a surface roughness as possible. Our clean room equipment has a very low surface roughness of less than 1.6 Ra.

In cases of product contact we can guarantee an even lower surface roughness of just 0.8 Ra. The 0.8 Ra we achieve by electropolishing the lifter components.

Other Important Design Features Tailored to the Pharmaceutical Industry

To further avoid compromising hygiene we have designed a contamination free cambelt solution which constitutes the lifting mechanics inside the column of the lifter.

Compared to the typical ball screw drive, this solution does not require any lubricants. It is in fact, maintenance free.

To reduce the risk of contamination even further, the lifting column (with the cambelt inside) is covered with a white, protective pharma-compatible band thus hindering the intrusion of unwanted particles inside the column.

When choosing which wheels to use we take floor type into account in order to avoid as much friction as possible and of course making sure that no markings will be left on the floor.
