Complete Material Handling Solution for Autoclave Manufacturer

Requirement

Our customer is a manufacturer of steam sterilizers, or autoclaves, based in Northeast of America. These autoclaves are used in a wide range of industries, including universities, hospitals, and biotechnology companies around the world.

The company recently expanded into a new 30,000 square-foot facility, and they needed to install a new material handling solution. The system in the older facility used a series of jib cranes, but the equipment was aging and had serious maintenance and reliability problems.

We received the requirement and very glad to help them come up with a plan for efficient, reliable material handling in their new facility.

Solution

• Our sales and engineer assessed the new facility and observed operations at the old facility (according to the photos, drawings and videos we received from our client) to find the best solutions for their needs.
• We recommended a complete material handling layout consisting of one set of Adjustable Height Gantry Crane, and one set of Fixed-Height Gantry Crane.
• The portable gantry cranes each have a capacity of one ton, are used in individual workstations, where workers use them to lift materials and position components for welding. This setup reduces the need for manually positioning parts, making it easier for workers to perform tasks efficiently.

Feedback

The production and delivery are very smoothly. Since the installation of the lightweight gantry cranes, the results have been excellent. They’re easy to use, easy to maintain, and they provide the ability to expand the system if their need for production grows in the future.
