Automation in cleanrooms
Production processes with cleanroom conveyors
The Fraunhofer Institute has certified our belt conveyors for cleanrooms for ISO 4 to ISO 6 in accordance with ISO standard 14644. They are designed for minimal particulate emissions and meet all cleanroom requirements for cleanliness and precision.
The key role of belt conveyors in high-quality products and cleanrooms
Areas of application and significance
Belt conveyors are used in a variety of industries, including electronics and pharmaceuticals, food, aerospace, and semiconductor manufacturing, to produce high-quality products. As key components in cleanrooms, these specially designed belt conveyors ensure a smooth and controlled material flow to meet strict cleanliness and precision requirements. In cleanrooms in the classes ISO 1 to ISO 9, control of particulate emissions by conveying techniques and processes is important to ensure the integrity of the products.

Specifications and features of cleanroom belt conveyors
Certified belt conveyors for cleanrooms
Quality assurance through certification
An objective, feasible, and meaningful assessment of the cleanliness-relevant properties of belt conveyors is particularly important to ensure sufficiently clean production areas. As an independent, public research institution, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation IPA offers objective and internationally recognized certification services. Fraunhofer IPA has tested and certified three Montech belt conveyors.
For which industries are Montech's cleanroom belt conveyors suitable?
Montech’s cleanroom belt conveyors are used in various industries such as the pharmaceutical, chemical, and semiconductor industries. They enable intralogistics for products such as catheters, syringes, liquid handling devices, microprocessors, and optical components.
How are the certified belt conveyors used in production processes?
The three certified conveyor belts (TB40R-400×1500/VR, TB30R-140×1500/VR, TB30R-140×1500/MR) are used as infeed and discharge belts in individual production systems or for linking entire production processes.
What are the adjustment options for these belt conveyors?
Montech’s belt conveyors offer flexibility in width, with options from 0.98″ to 2.62″ for TB40R-400×1500/VR and from 0.26″ to 0.82″ for TB30R-140×1500/VR and TB30R-140×1500/MR. Their modular design also allows for easy and cost-effective extension or shortening at any time.
Are there alternative configurations in addition to the certified belt conveyor models?
Yes, in addition to the models certified by the Fraunhofer IPA, Montech also offers other conveyor widths and lengths that are suitable for cleanroom environments. This provides additional configuration options to meet specific requirements.
