Between 22 and 24 October, ULMA Inoxtruck attended the annual CPHI trade fair in Frankfurt where approximately 30,000 international professionals are gathering from across the pharmaceutical sector.

ULMA Inoxtruck presented its fully cleanable equipment offering solutions to horizontal transport, lifting and product maintenance tasks in clean rooms, which have strict hygiene requirements similar to those in the pharmaceutical sector.

Hygienic Design

ULMA Inoxtruck applies to its equipment the cleanable design concepts that are already so widely used in equipment GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), including for the most demanding material, such as 304L and 316L stainless steel, as well as applying the highest protection IP to the electronic components. 

The design, with open structures and curved, included surfaces, allows ULMA equipment to be integrated into companies' existing cleaning procedures for their Clean Rooms, in compliance with directive 2006/42/EC regulating requirements to ensure equipment safety and hygiene.

This directive states that equipment surfaces coming into contact with food products, cosmetics or pharmaceuticals should be smooth, not rough, to prevent the accumulation of remains that could cause microbiological contamination, as well as to enable thorough cleaning before each use.

Solutions for the pharmaceutical industry

For companies in the chemicals, cosmetics or pharmaceutical industries, ULMA Inoxtruck includes lithium-ion batteries in its equipment, developed thanks to its close cooperation with research centres and high tech partners. Lithium-ion batteries guarantee the equipment performs optimally as they can be charged continuously without impacting on their useful life and keep working areas with “ZERO” gas emissions. Furthermore, ULMA Inoxtruck equipment incorporates EX PROOF protection to guarantee the health and safety of workers exposed to risks from explosive atmospheres.



ULMA Inoxtruck will show as a novelty the new Integrated Weighing System which is applicable to all the ULMA models. Its 100% hygienic design and IP68 protection are features that set it apart from the weighing systems currently available on the market. With a robust design, ULMA Inoxtruck manual weighing pallet trucks are designed to respond perfectly to aggressive applications in clean rooms in temperatures of between -10ºC and 40ºC. The visitors will also see at the stand transport equipment, like hand pallet trucks and electronic pallet trucks , lifting equipment like electronic stacker and electric lifting working tables and handling equipment like the electro manual stacker for the ergonomic handling of the rolls, molds and collars on the Packaging Process.

ULMA Inoxtruck will present cleanable solutions to handle loads in clean rooms, in the space used for equipment, technology and machinery designed for the pharmaceutical sector, CPHI-PMEC, at stand 4.1M57
