Lifting solutions customized for cleanroom or ATEX areas
Lifting solutions and tools specifically designed for use in cleanrooms and potentially hazardous environments
Cleanrooms are commonly used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, life sciences, biotechnology and other industries that are sensitive to environmental contamination. To keep these facilities clean, staff enter the cleanrooms through airlocks and must wear protective clothing while working in the cleanroom. All equipment used in a cleanroom must be designed to generate minimal contamination and be very easy to clean.
Finding efficient lifting equipment suitable for use in cleanroom environment can be challenging. Not only do you expect the equipment to fulfil cleanroom requirements, you also want it to meet your specific needs when it comes to lifting capacity, usability and ergonomics.
At TAWI we provide a wide selection of possible lifting solutions and tools specifically designed for use in cleanrooms;
- Stainless steel systems (such as vacuum lifters, crane systems & trolleys)
- Washdown equipment specifically designed for easy cleaning
- IP65 rated lifting trolleys
- Custom made solutions on request
Our assortment includes lift systems that can both lift and transport most types of goods, including sacks, drums and reels.
Hazardous workplaces where flammable or combustible substances are stored or used are found in a wide range of industries, from chemical and pharmaceutical operations to milk drying and sugar refinement. Hazardous work environments are classified in terms of zones, according to the frequency and duration of the occurrence of explosive atmospheres. When lifting or moving materials in hazardous environments, safety is essential. The risk of explosion or combustion endangers not just your operations, but your employees as well.
It is vital that each and every component of a lifting system be approved for explosive environments, even if they are not to be located within the actual hazardous environments itself. It’s important to carefully plan both the selection and placement of lifting equipment that will be used in hazardous work areas. To meet the various needs for lifting aids in explosive atmospheres TAWI offers an extensive range of ATEX certified, hazardous environment solutions. A TAWI ATEX solution mitigates the risk of explosion without sacrificing safety, ergonomics, or efficiency.
TAWI solutions cover;
- Zones 1 and 2 (gas hazardous environments)
- Zones 21 and 22 (dust hazardous environments).
TAWI supplies a range of ATEX certified products for these areas, with each solution customized to the specific project at hand. All TAWI sales representatives have been trained on ATEX regulations and have a thorough understanding of the implications of installing equipment in ATEX restricted facilities.
All of our TAWI Multifunctional vacuum lifter models can be modified to meet ATEX regulations and we also supply ATEX-modified profiles for our crane systems and jib arms as well as special lifting trolleys for ATEX environments.
