Montech launches a new belt conveyor line for cleanrooms

With its new belt conveyor line, this Swiss technology company now offers custom-tailored transport solutions for cleanrooms. The specially developed belt conveyors are tested and certified for cleanrooms with ISO air purity classes 4, 5, and 6. They are used in various industries such as the pharmaceutical/medical, chemical, electrical, and semiconductor industries.

Cleanroom production is subject to strict cleanliness and precision requirements. Only certified belt conveyors prevent contamination by the smallest particles. The Swiss technology company Montech specializes in the industrialization and standardization of state-of-the-art belt conveyors, transfer systems, and innovative aluminum framing systems. Montech is responding to demanding cleanroom requirements with a new conveyor line in its product portfolio.

Tested and certified
The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation IPA has subjected three Montech belt conveyors to an in-depth test and certified them. As an independent public research institution, it provides objective certification services that are internationally recognized.

TB30R-140x1500/VR belt conveyor
The TB30R-140x1500/VR belt conveyor is certified by the Fraunhofer IPA for use in ISO 4 class cleanrooms for a speed of 30m/min. It has been tested according to ISO 14644-14 and is suitable and certified under the specified test parameters to be used in cleanrooms of the air purity class 4 according to ISO 14644-1.

TB30R-140x1500/MR belt conveyor
The TB30R-140x1500/MR belt conveyor is certified by the Fraunhofer Institute IPA for use in ISO 5 class cleanrooms for a speed up to 15m/min and in ISO 6 class cleanrooms for a speed from 15m/min up to 30m/min. It has been tested according to ISO 14644-14 and is suitable and certified under the specified test parameters for use in cleanrooms of air purity classes 5 and 6 according to ISO 14644-1.

TB40R-400x1500/VR belt conveyor
The TB40R-400x1500/VR belt conveyor is certified by the Fraunhofer IPA for use in ISO 4 class cleanrooms for a speed up to 15m/min and in class ISO 5 cleanrooms for a speed from 15m/min up to 30m/min. It has been tested according to ISO 14644-14 and is suitable and certified under the specified test parameters for use in cleanrooms of air purity classes 4 and 5 according to ISO 14644-1.

Modular design for custom-tailored solutions
All three certified belt conveyors from Montech are used as feed and discharge belts in individual production systems and for interlinking complete production processes, for example for the intralogistics of catheters, syringes, liquid handling, microprocessors, and optical components. Their belts are not only cleanroom-compatible, but also FDA-approved. Thanks to their modular design, the belt conveyors can be configured individually and extended or shortened easily and cost-effectively at any time. Other belt conveyor widths and lengths suitable for cleanrooms can be derived based on the three Montech belt conveyors tested and certified by the Fraunhofer IPA (TB40R-400x1500/VR, TB30R-140x1500/VR, TB30R-140x1500/MR).
