High demands for safety in a highly hygienic environment

Customised stainless steel stacker ensures safety, cleanability, and precision

In pharmaceutical production, equipment must meet the highest standards for hygiene, safety, and precision.
An Austrian pharmaceutical company needed to replace its outdated handling equipment with a modern, customised solution that could transport, lift, and tilt special containers — all while maintaining full compliance with strict hygiene requirements.

Their demands were clear:

  • Maximum safety for both operator and production line
  • Hygienic, easy-to-clean construction
  • Slow, controlled movements for precise positioning
  • High quality and long service life

In collaboration with our Austrian dealer GESA Klagenfurt, Logitrans developed a customised stainless steel stacker designed to meet all these criteria.
The equipment is built in acid-resistant stainless steel with specially developed forks to handle the unique container design.
A precision valve ensures smooth and accurate positioning, while multiple safety switches prevent potential damage to the production line.

To meet the industry’s strict hygiene standards, the stacker was finished with a special “pharma finish” for easy cleaning.
All chains were shielded with a protective roller blind, preventing contamination in the controlled environment.

“We are very satisfied with this customised solution that fulfils all our demands. We particularly appreciate its robustness, usability, and sensitivity during lifting, lowering, and driving.
It represents the newest technology — and the strong battery performance is exactly what we needed.”
