Kito Europe releases Clean Room hoists


Kito Europe GmbH announced the release of custom-built clean room hoists. These hoists are ideal for use in micro-chip manufacturing, circuit board processing, display panel production, pharmaceutical and food applications, or other ultra-clean production and testing areas.

Kito reports each hoist is custom built and certified up to class 10 particle size, meaning almost any customer specification for contamination-protection is possible. The hoists are available for electric or manual operation, and can be combined with overhead cranes.

Kito’s Clean Room hoists are built from their standard ED, ER2 or CB models, and depending on the job requirements, are modified with special enclosures constructed of stainless steel or nickel. In addition, selected parts such as chains are housed in special flexible bellows that trap dust or particles created from moving parts. Special double sealed packing is included in some cases to insure no contamination during shipment and installation process.

For pharmaceutical and food applications, wash-down suitable electric or manual hoists with anti-corrosion protection are possible.

Kito is one of the leaders in electric and manual chain hoists, with subsidiaries or partners in all major global markets. Their European sales and supply headquarters is located in Dusseldorf, Germany, providing new product supply, spares, and before and after sales support.
