HOISTS FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT OFFERING PERFECT CLEANLINESS OF OPERATIONS TO MEET THE MOST STRINGENT HYGIENE REQUIREMENTS
Verlinde EUROLIFT BH electric belt hoists meet the strictest hygiene standards in the food industry . The special feature of these hoists is that they are equipped with a high-strength , rot-proof lifting
Since the installation of the first EUROLIFT BH hoist , our customer has expressed satisfaction with the improvement in hygiene and the reduction in downtime due to corrosion .
belt and a dirtfree guide system for use in all kinds of environments . The mechanically variable 2-speed lift motor and the 2-speed steering motor , together with the perfectly sealed gearbox , provide the precise and silent movement of loads from 500 to 5000 kg .
A CUSTOMISED ADAPTATION
The industrialist asked Bretagne Manutention for a complete study , as he wanted to optimise the entire lifting solution to increase the load capacities of his hoists from 1000 kg to 1200 kg . Verlinde assisted Bretagne Manutention with these offers .
In addition to optimising the lifting part , the project also involved specific structural constraints : as a general rule , a EUROLIFT BH hoist moves on an IPN rail , but the configuration of the brine room did not allow the hoist enough travel with this type of rail . The existing structure had to be changed and the loads of the suspended structure recalculated , which was expensive , or the hoists had to be adapted . Verlinde proposed to move the hoist motor to a different location in order to gain height and thus reuse the existing galvanised hollow section rails .
INCREASED PRODUCTION CAPACITY AND HYGIENE
The first EUROLIFT BH hoist was installed in 2020 . Within three months , the test proved successful : maintenance and lubrication operations were reduced and corrosion problems were eliminated . The other six hoists were then replaced , reducing breakdowns and production downtime . The installation is maintained by Bretagne Manutention Maintenance . Monitoring is regular , with a visit every six months .
Dominique Denou says : “ Since the installation of the first EUROLIFT BH hoist , our customer has expressed satisfaction with the improvement in hygiene and the reduction in downtime due to corrosion . We have continued to assist them , particularly in the adjustment of the belt and the various settings according to the constraints . Providing solutions is the strength of the installer .”
He adds : “ Verlinde was present throughout the project , even when it came to choosing the most suitable belt and its adjustments . That makes all the difference with a supplier like Verlinde who offers premium solutions and is able to provide assistance right till the end . This way , everybody works in confidence .”
