Can the high-speed chain conveyor be placed in a cleanroom?

The belt conveyor can be used in a cleanroom, but specific conditions must be met, primarily involving material selection, structural design, and cleanliness level matching.

Key Usage Conditions

- Material Requirements:

- Stainless steel chains are the preferred choice for cleanrooms due to their corrosion resistance, rust-free properties, and ability to prevent iron filings from contaminating products.

- Ordinary carbon steel chains are prone to rust in damp or dust-free environments, causing particulate contamination, and are not recommended for use.

- Structural optimization:

- Adopting a low-noise design (such as nylon rollers, vibration-damping tracks, and silent lubrication) helps control workshop noise to below 85 decibels (as required by national standards).

Some manufacturers offer anti-static conveyor chains suitable for dust-free environments handling electrostatic-sensitive electronics or semiconductors.

- Cleanliness level compatibility:

Cleanrooms are typically classified by cleanliness levels ranging from Class 100 to Class 100,000. Conveyor chains themselves do not actively purify the air, but when paired with clean air supply systems such as FFUs (Fan Filter Units), they can meet localized high cleanliness requirements.

- For high-cleanliness scenarios such as semiconductors and biopharmaceuticals, it is recommended to use a magnetic levitation conveying system, as its contactless drive completely avoids wear and particle generation.
