Transport cart protects components from contamination

The PUROS cleanroom transport cart system simplifies the logistics and cleaning process of demanding industrial parts

Even the tiniest dirt particles can cause significant damage in sectors such as the automotive industry, medical technology or the food industry.

A weak point in production cycle is the transport of a component to the next workstation. Previous efforts to overcome this, such as using multilayer packaging for the components, are costly and time-consuming. To close this gap in the process chain, Koegel has developed the cleanroom transport cart system PUROS, which reliably protects sensitive products from contamination during transport and storage.

The PUROS range consists of three different transport vehicle families, which are tailored to the specific requirements of individual industries: Basic, Advanced and Science. All three can be integrated as self-sufficient protection systems into every logistics chain, ensuring clean, safe transportation.

PUROS Basic is designed for the transport of components with low cleanliness requirements. The unit consists of a mobile base plate made of plastic and three pinned, centrally clamped side walls made of galvanised steel.

The PUROS Advanced is more sophisticated: it is made of anodised aluminium or high quality stainless steel and is equipped with ergonomic handles that enable sliding or pulling. Two steering and two fixed castors on the corners ensure that the cart runs smoothly. The completely enclosed construction and the two wing doors with lever lock and surrounding rubber seal protect the contents from external contamination.

PUROS Science offers the highest level of protection for the most sensitive components. developed in co-operation with M + W Products, it incorporates a continuous airflow system. Air is drawn in from the outside and via a pre-filter and a HEPA filter. The air then exits through the openings in the sides and bottom of the cart.
