Cleanroom belt conveyors: Efficiency, hygiene, and flexibility for sensitive production processes

In sensitive production environments, even the smallest particles can compromise product quality. Cleanroom belt conveyors ensure controlled material flow, making a decisive contribution to product integrity in the pharmaceutical, medical technology, and semiconductor industries.

Every detail counts in cleanrooms. Even the slightest contamination can cause waste, quality losses, or safety risks during the production of medications, microprocessors, or optical components. Belt conveyors in these areas must therefore be designed specifically so that they emit only small particles, be easy to clean, and control the production flow precisely. At the same time, they should be robust and have a long service life to minimize maintenance and production shutdowns.

Hygienic materials and sophisticated design

We have designed cleanroom-specific belt conveyors to fulfill the high requirements of contamination-critical processes. The TB30R and TB40R belt conveyors are made from high-quality materials suitable for cleanroom environments, including FDA-compliant belts that are easy to clean and sterilize, with sealed edges. A stainless steel sliding insert provides excellent protection against wear.

The Montech cleanroom belt conveyors have T-grooves along the base frame for easy mounting of accessories such as light barriers or side guides. Unused T-grooves are sealed with a cover profile, which reduces the number of places where particles can accumulate and simplifies cleaning.

The sophisticated design not only minimizes contamination but also extends the lifespan of the belt conveyors, a clear advantage for companies with continuous production.

Precise transport for efficient flows

In addition to the hygienic design, the process control is critical. Our belt conveyors can be adapted to suit every millimeter of every production line. The cyclical operation, individually adjustable acceleration and braking ramps, and the variable conveying speed ensure gentle transport that minimizes particle formation. The energy-efficient brushless DC and 24 V BLDC motor also reduces power consumption, providing reliable and economical operation across a long service life.

Certified quality for maximum safety

For producing companies, independent confirmation of the cleanroom suitability is crucial. Selected configurations of our belt conveyors were therefore tested by the Fraunhofer Institut für Produktionstechnik und Automatisierung IPA and certified up to ISO 4. The “Fraunhofer TESTED DEVICE” certification provides verifiable measurement results, supporting companies in making informed investment decisions. This way, companies can be sure that the belt conveyors will comply reliably with the required cleanroom standards.

Flexible adaptation and quick availability

Another advantage of our cleanroom belt conveyors is that they can be easily adapted using our online configurator. Thanks to the ability to select sizes, lengths, and drive components, they can be configured precisely for the specific production line.

Many and varied areas of application and economical operation

Whether in pharmaceuticals, medical technology, or semiconductor production, our cleanroom belt conveyors ensure consistently high product quality. They reduce downtimes and enable flexible production adjustments. Around the world and across various industries, the combination of precision, hygiene, energy efficiency, and rapid availability makes them an economical and reliable solution that ensures production processes with minimal particle contamination.
