The challenges of transporting cleanroom equipment

Within pharmaceutical cleanrooms, the movement of cleanroom equipment, such as media totes, chromatography columns and single-use mixers, often relies on manual handling. With loads easily weighing in excess of 2,200 lbs., multiple members of staff are often needed to position and reconfigure process trains and equipment, reducing suite uptime and productivity. 

Manually moving heavy pharmaceutical cleanroom equipment increases the risk of injury, leading many manufacturers to look for safer pharmaceutical cleanroom material handling solutions.  

Safer cleanroom material handling for maximum safety and suite uptime

Enabling a single operator to safely move cleanroom equipment weighing up to 33,000 lbs., our electric tuggers eliminate manual handling to increase suite uptime for pharmaceutical manufacturers – facilitating quicker reconfigurations and suite changeovers.

Seamlessly integrate cleanroom-ready stainless steel electric tuggers into your processes to maximize staff safety, boost productivity and create mobile, flexible processes.   

The benefits of electric tugs for pharmaceutical cleanroom material handling 

Facilitating quicker suite changeovers through the safe, controlled movement of heavy cleanroom equipment, electric tuggers help pharmaceutical manufacturers improve safety and improve efficiency.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

What do electric tuggers move in pharmaceutical cleanrooms? 

Across pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, electric tuggers are used to move a wide variety of equipment such as: 

  • Buffer & media totes
  • Bioprocess containers
  • Chromatography columns
  • Single-use mixers & skids
  • Reactors & agitators
  • Vessels & tanks
How do electric tuggers facilitate faster suite changeovers?

Where the reconfiguration of process trains or suite layouts was carried out manually, electric tuggers streamline the movement to a one-person task, enabling the safe and efficient movement of equipment.

Likewise, the benefits of ‘ballroom’ production layouts and mounting equipment on wheels allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to create mobile and modular processes – enabling faster suite changeovers and increasing uptime. 

I’m moving high-value, sensitive equipment, do electric tuggers connect securely to the load?

Yes, electric tuggers create an unbreakable connection to the load. Whether you opt for our SM100+ SS to move buffer totes, or our MT20-1500+ SS to control large chromatography columns, you can be confident that your equipment will be securely moved using our electric tugs.

Hydraulic coupling systems maximize load security and maneuverability, enabling large, heavy equipment to be precisely moved in even the tightest of spaces.

Can they maneuver around tight cleanroom environments?

Yes – all of our stainless steel electric tuggers and tows can push, pull, maneuver and stop mobile process equipment in tight spaces. We know space is at a premium in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, and that size is a key consideration when it comes to material handling equipment.

Our electric tuggers are compact but powerful, meaning they’re adequately powered to move the heaviest of loads, without taking up valuable space.

The flexible steering on our machines also enables them to rotate loads on their corner axis. This unparalleled range of movement means that our electric tugs can move loads in even the tightest of cleanroom environments.

What grade of stainless steel is used?

All of our stainless steel electric tugs are constructed with 316 high-grade stainless steel.

A pickle and passivation process is used to assist with the formation of a continuous chromium-oxide passive film and to remove contaminants.

Finally, a 240-grit polish is applied to provide a durable finish. This makes them ideally suited to biopharmaceutical cleanrooms.     

What IP ratings are available?

The Stainless Steel range encompasses a number of different machines, with varying ingress protection (IP) ratings. Individual IP ratings can be found in the Technical Data for each machine.

Specification Sheets for each model, though as a guide, IP ratings range from IP42 - IP55, with higher ratings available as a custom solution.
