The food and pharmaceutical industries have extremely strict requirements for the cleanliness of production environments; even 0.5-micron dust particles can lead to batch scrapping. As a core equipment for material transfer in workshops, the selection of Dust-Proof Electric Forklift is directly related to production compliance and efficiency. The following combines dust-proof needs of different workshop scenarios, with a selection guide and foreign cases, to help you accurately match the Dust-Proof Electric Forklift.
I. Selecting Dust-Proof Electric Forklift by Workshop Type: Core Parameter Comparison Table
1.Raw Material Warehouse (storing granular/powder raw materials)
lDust-proof requirement: Prevent impact from large dust particles (such as flour, medicinal powder) and avoid dust entering the motor causing short circuits.
lAdaptable model: Hengwang HWCPD-20 (2T)
lFeatures: Fully enclosed motor compartment + dust-proof net design, capable of filtering dust ≥10 microns; food-grade lubricating grease applied to mast slides to prevent dust adhesion.
lCase: The raw material warehouse of Germany's Bahlsen biscuit factory uses the same Dust-Proof Electric Forklift, with no motor failures caused by dust in 3 years, reducing maintenance times by 80% compared to traditional forklifts.
2.Crushing/Mixing Workshop (high-dust environment)
lDust-proof requirement: Prevent intrusion of fine dust (≤5 microns), requiring IP54 dust-proof rating (completely preventing foreign object intrusion and harmful dust accumulation).
lAdaptable model: Hengwang HWCPD-30 (3T)
lFeatures: IP54 certified motor + sealed battery compartment; hydraulic system with dust-proof seals; fork surfaces polished to reduce dust residue.
lAdvantage: In tests at the crushing workshop of India's Dr. Reddy's Laboratories pharmaceutical factory, after 8 hours of continuous operation, the internal dust in the motor was only 0.3g, far lower than the industry average of 1.2g.
3.Packaging Area (semi-clean environment)
lDust-proof requirement: Prevent packaging debris and small amounts of dust, requiring easy cleaning and no hygiene dead corners.
lAdaptable model: Hengwang HWCPD-15 (1.5T)
lFeatures: Stainless steel pedals + arc transition design, can be directly washed with water; battery cover with magnetic sealing to prevent dust from entering through gaps.
lApplication: After being used in the packaging area of Italy's Cirio 罐头厂，cleaning time was reduced from 30 minutes per day to 10 minutes, meeting FDA hygiene standards.
4.Aseptic Filling Area (highest cleanliness level)
lDust-proof requirement: IP67 dust-proof and waterproof (completely preventing dust intrusion) + no exposed metal parts to avoid particle contamination.
lAdaptable model: Hengwang HWCPD-10 (1T) customized version
lFeatures: Fully enclosed body (no exposed bolts), food-grade silicone seals; motor with medical-grade dust-proof coating, adaptable to ISO 8 class cleanrooms.
lCase: After being introduced into the aseptic area of the US Moderna vaccine factory, it passed FDA on-site audit and became its designated Dust-Proof Electric Forklift supplier in the Asian region.
II. Selection Logic of Foreign Well-Known Factories: 3 Key Principles
1.Dust-proof rating "prefer higher, not lower"
Switzerland's Lindt chocolate factory once used an IP54-class forklift in its cocoa powder workshop; after 6 months, the motor burned out due to dust accumulation, resulting in shutdown losses of 200,000 euros. It was later replaced with an IP65-class Dust-Proof Electric Forklift, with zero failures for 4 years to date — this shows that high-dust workshops need dust-proof redundancy.
2.Prioritize "easy-to-clean design"
Lessons from France's Sanofi pharmaceutical factory show: Right-angle gaps of traditional forklifts easily trap dust, requiring weekly disassembly for cleaning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, the arc structure + seamless welding of Dust-Proof Electric Forklift can reduce 90% of cleaning dead corners, meeting the cleanliness requirements of EU GMP Appendix 1.
3.Reject "general-purpose models" and choose industry-specific customization
Japan's Kikkoman soy sauce factory tried to modify ordinary electric forklifts with dust-proof devices; although the initial cost was 30% lower, after 6 months, seal failure caused soy sauce dust to enter the battery, triggering a short circuit. This confirms the necessity of Dust-Proof Electric Forklift being specially designed for food/pharmaceutical scenarios.
III. Industry-Exclusive Advantages of Hengwang Dust-Proof Electric Forklift
1.Material compliance: All parts that may contact materials (such as forks, pedals) are made of 304 stainless steel, passing LFGB food contact certification.
2.Intelligent early warning: Some models are equipped with dust concentration sensors, which automatically alarm when dust in the motor compartment exceeds the standard, avoiding sudden failures.
3.Global certifications: Passed FDA, EU GMP, ISO 14644-1, etc., directly adapting to European and American food/pharmaceutical factory standards.
