and pharma must be low-particle, easy to clean and precise. Fully electric stainless steel manipulators work without compressed air and handle containers, vessels and isolators ergonomically up to 1,200 kg. Zeilhofer Handhabungstechnik from Holzkirchen, Germany, engineers every solution to cleanroom standards.
For an overview of all types of lifting aids, see our guide Lifting aids for production and industry. How the fully electric linear axis works is explained in What is a lift axis.
Why cleanroom and pharma need special lifting aids
In cleanroom and pharmaceutical production, every particle counts. A lifting aid must work with low contamination and be validatable:
fully electric drives avoid exhaust air and oil mist.
easy to clean and disinfect.
finest repeatability for sensitive processes.
safe handling of containers and isolators.
Typical applications
Pharma: reposition containers, vessels and IBCs with low particles.
Cleanroom: position parts and carriers precisely.
Laboratory and medical technology: handle sensitive components.
Cosmetics and fine chemicals: move containers hygienically.
Which system for the cleanroom?
For heavy vertical lifts without compressed air, the fully electric ZH90 lift axis up to 1,200 kg is suitable; for movements in space the manipulator up to 800 kg. Grippers are built as individual fixtures in cleanroom-compatible design.
Ergonomics and cost-effectiveness
Even in the cleanroom, heavy manual lifting strains staff. Which loads are permitted is shown in load limits and the Key Indicator Method. A lifting aid reduces downtime and safeguards process hygiene. Zeilhofer is certified to ISO 9001 and TISAX Level 2 with prototype protection.
Individual engineering
Cleanroom class, cleaning concept and validation differ by site. Zeilhofer plans every lifting aid from process analysis through design and manufacturing to commissioning and service, all from a single source.
Frequently asked questions about lifting aids for cleanroom and pharma
Which lifting aid is suitable for the cleanroom?
Fully electric manipulators and lift axes in stainless steel. They work without compressed air, are easy to clean and handle containers with low particles and high precision.
Why without compressed air in the cleanroom?
Compressed air can introduce oil mist and exhaust air. Fully electric drives avoid this and are therefore suitable for cleanroom, pharma and sensitive areas.
Are the lifting aids pharma- and cleanroom-compatible?
Yes. Zeilhofer builds lifting aids in stainless steel with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces, matched to the respective cleanroom class and cleaning concept.
What loads does a lifting aid in the cleanroom move?
Up to 1,200 kg depending on the system. The fully electric ZH90 lift axis reaches up to 1,200 kg, manipulators up to 800 kg, mobile lifts up to 100 kg.
