Clean room cranes are specialized cranes designed for use in clean rooms or controlled environments where maintaining a high level of cleanliness is crucial. These cranes are used to move heavy or delicate items, such as equipment or materials, within the clean room without contaminating the environment.
In the food processing, food grade clean room cranes serve as vital tools for the food industry to achieve efficient, safe, and hygienic production. They are used to carry food raw materials and finished products to ensure food safety and product quality.
Clean room cranes are widely used in the food industry, including:
Bakery workshop
Dairy cleanrooms
Brewery/wine/beverage making
Prepared foods
Pastry company
Deli/charcuterie processing
How Clean Room Cranes Helped In Food Industry
Ingredient Handling
1. Receiving and Storage: Cranes help move large quantities of raw ingredients from delivery areas to storage. This includes handling bulk materials like grains, sugar, and other ingredients in a manner that minimizes contamination.
2. Dispensing: They assist in accurately dispensing ingredients into mixing or processing units, ensuring precise quantities and reducing manual handling.
Processing
1. Mixing and Blending: Cranes can move ingredients to mixing or blending areas, including large vats or containers, helping to maintain a clean and organized processing environment.
2. Batch Handling: For operations that involve batch processing, cranes facilitate the movement of batches from one stage to another, such as from mixing to cooking or from cooking to cooling.
Packaging
1. Filling and Packaging: Cranes are used to move filled containers or packaging materials into position, ensuring a smooth flow in the packaging line and reducing the risk of contamination.
2. Palletizing: After packaging, cranes can help stack and organize products on pallets, readying them for storage or shipment.
Product Transfer
1. Between Stages: Cranes help transfer products between different stages of the processing line, such as moving items from cooking to cooling or from cooling to packaging.
2. To and From Storage: They also aid in moving finished products to storage areas or to shipping docks, helping to manage inventory efficiently.
A "cleanroom" refers to a space which meets ISO14644-1 or FED Std 209E cleanroom classification standard. Cleanrooms can be thought of as "controlled environments" with added requirement of filtration / particle control.
