On the initiative of Dittel Engineering, a joint project with the cleanroom experienced manufacturer of stainless steel equipment KEK GmbH started: In just a few iteration steps, a transport trolley has been designed to house measuring instruments and equipment for use in inspections and qualification measurements. The peculiarity of this folding trolley is that it can be folded with two movements. This does not only mean that you can carry it without problems in a car or van. When folded, its dimensions have been optimized so that it can be wrapped and welded into a transport tube made of cleanroom foil. This means that the cleaned transport trolley is protected during transport against contamination and therefore largely prevents the entrainment of contamination in the cleanroom at the customer´s site. Expenditure for cleaning in terms of cost and effort when introduced into the cleanroom thus remains minimal. The simple, functional design makes the folding trolley a sturdy and durable companion. “Sometimes it´s the smaller things that make everyday life in a cleanroom more effective. Nevertheless, the project stands for Dittel’s own claim of 'cleanroom technology in perfection' and reflects in the same way that the products of KEK GmbH are 'timeless'.” Features include conductive castors, easy cleaning thanks to smooth and round surfaces and fast tool-free assembly. A circumferential bead on the lower bottom prevents small parts from falling, the free ends of the rods allow the holding of tubes / cables.
