Dyneema belt: stretch-resistant, very strong and predictable
We often use Dyneema belt hoists for our cleanroom cranes. Dyneema consists of very strong, long and lightweight synthetic fibers. This makes the belt very stretch-resistant: you can rely on a continuously identical lifting characteristic for your process, during the entire lifespan of the belt.
Dyneema is characterized by a smooth surface and an unprecedentedly low friction coefficient. As a result, the belt experiences hardly any wear and tear, and only spreads a minimal number of particles. Lubrication for maintenance is not necessary.
The use of the Dyneema belt saves space: because the lightweight and relatively thin belt can be tightly fitted into the crane construction, this reduces the dimensions of the construction as a whole.

Semiconductor industry
Need to move heavy semiconductor manufacturing equipment accurately, safely and efficiently? Or position light components in exactly the right place?
With over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, you can count on lifting equipment that meets all the requirements. And keep particulate emissions to an absolute minimum in the process.
Hightech
Does your company supply components or parts with ‘cleanliness grade' 4 or 2? We design your lifting equipment so that your production process meets the often highly demanding requirements and specifications set by your partner(s).
At the same time, a cleanroom crane speeds up your process, helping you create greater efficiency and achieve higher profitability.
Food industry
As a player in the food industry, you know full well: everything hinges on food safety. With our hygienic cleanroom cranes, you minimise the risk of potential microorganism formation and contamination.
Our cranes help you comply with laws and regulations, including sector-specific hygiene codes such as those set by the NVWA.
Biotechnology
Pharmaceutical and medical biotechnology processes demand the lowest possible levels of contamination. Preventing contamination is a priority. Process reliability and product safety are also equally important.
Our cleanroom cranes contribute to a safe and traceable process flow with parameters that can be adjusted in detail. They cause minimal to no contamination and prevent the risk of microorganism formation.
Battery industry
Cleanliness and safety are crucial in battery manufacturing. A cleanroom crane allows you to streamline your production process while ensuring that contamination dispersion is kept to a minimum.
Design choices can minimise the dispersion of particles such as dust and trapped contamination. With the right choice of materials, it is also possible to make your lifting equipment explosion-proof.
Aerospace
You need to be able to position or move aerospace objects carefully and appropriately. A non-contaminating and precise crane will help ease your R&D or production process.
Our lifting solutions are safe for use in developing the most sensitive parts, such as satellite components, robotic arms or sun shields.
Aviation
Lift critical aviation parts and components with extreme precision and minimal contamination. Ensuring that every single detail is correct.
Our cleanroom cranes are precise and leave no dust, liquid or paint particles behind. Therefore, cranes contribute significantly to reliability in terms of instruments and engines, etc.

TNO provides innovative customization with a unique Cleanroom
“Thanks to the expertise of the technicians, everything went smoothly.”
TNO was looking for a lifting facility for a new cleanroom to lift a valuable test object into a vacuum boiler.
Two overhead cranes turned out to be necessary. “The installation of the structure and the hanging of the cranes was precision work. The free space up to the ceiling is only a few millimeters.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why a specialized crane in your cleanroom/controlled environment?
In your cleanroom or controlled environment, everything revolves around cleanliness, precision, and safety. A cleanroom crane demonstrably meets the applicable ISO classification, industry standards, and laws and regulations. Conventional (industrial) lifting equipment does not comply. Using it increases the risk of contamination. Moreover, a conventional lifting system does not operate with sufficient accuracy for use in a cleanroom or controlled environment.
What is special about our cranes?
Our cleanroom cranes are designed to lift accurately and safely with no to extremely minimal spread of contamination. They are made from A-grade components. Every detail has been considered. From the correct execution of the hoist to the shielding of cables and electrical components.
Why is a crane for cleanrooms/controlled environments more expensive than a standard industrial crane?
A cleanroom crane requires a special design and materials that differ from a conventional crane. For example, our cranes are largely made of stainless steel. This is more expensive than steel. Stainless steel is strong and leaves behind no to extremely few particles.
Commonly used design applications include specially developed powder coatings and materials and substances that do not degas or degas minimally (such as special adhesives for information stickers). We have our own R&D department.
We fully equip your cleanroom crane for your process, available space, applicable ISO classification, and industry-specific requirements. Each cleanroom crane is custom-designed.
How do we check if a crane is clean?
Before delivery, an independent expert in contamination control validates the crane in a cleanroom or conditioned environment. Using a special 'laser particle counter', the expert determines the number of particles in the air. This 'counter' sucks in air and thus measures the crane's emissions. The measurement takes place to show how many particles are released during the various operating stages of the crane.
