The Benefits of an Electric Lifter from 2Lift

– When Innovative Design Is Combined with Stainless Steel

Aside from the resources poured into the development of the optimal design, stainless steel is probably our most important component when it comes to ensuring that an electrical lifter is both strong, hygienic and easy to clean.

In this way we make sure that the industrial material handling equipment from 2Lift lives up the necessary industrial regulatory demands pertaining to the different branches in the food and beverage industry (be that e.g. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and/or the Guidelines for Materials of Construction for Equipment in Contact with Food as published by EHEDG (European Hygiene Engineering and Design Group).

Aside from being a safe, ergonomic and healthy choice for your personnel, a 2Lift material handling lift for the food and beverage industry is:

– Strong and reliable. Stainless steel has excellent longevity and doesn’t fatigue as easily as many other metals. Combining this feature with good craftsmanship in terms of competent welding, and you can look forward to your electric lifter putting in many, many years of work before its well-earned retirement.

– Ensures high product purity. Stainless steel is a very stable and inert type of alloy that doesn’t chemically react with food or liquid in any significant way. In this way an electrical lifter from 2Lift is a good choice if you need to live up to the food industry regulations as put forward by the European Commission:

“FCMs [Food Contact Materials] should be sufficiently inert so that their constituents neither adversely affect consumer health nor influence the quality of the food.”

– Corrosion resistant. Stainless steel is protected by a clever, invisible self-repairing thin film made of chromium oxide. This film is automatically created (and re-created when damaged) in the presence of oxygen. So treated optimally, stainless steel is self-preserving.

– Easy to clean. The combination of minimal crevice / cavity-free design and stainless steel is hygienically ideal. Stainless steel is non-absorbent and can be manufactured to have a very smooth surface finish (a low surface roughness) which makes it very easy to clean. Also a low surface roughness (Ra) helps prevent an unwanted colonisation of micro-organisms and bacteria, which lowers the risk of contaminating the next round of production.
