Teknomek, a leading provider of hygienic stainless steel furniture and equipment, has extended and redesigned its tables for labs, waste bins and clearing trolleys, making them ideal for cleanrooms and labs. When it comes to design, Teknomek’s customer research, knowledge and product design fulfils the criteria for meeting exacting cleanliness standards as well as adaptability of use of its products.
Following feedback and research into the demands placed on items in cleanrooms, such as user adaptability, and efficiency of cleaning, Teknomek has introduced a new cleanroom waste bin and extended its table and clearing trolley ranges. Materials have been used to meet exacting hygienic standards, helping reduce the risk of contamination. Teknomek often recommends, and uses, 316-grade stainless steel in lab environments, which is resistant to corrosive cleaning solutions or harsh chemicals.
The range of tables at Teknomek includes a table with a perforated top that is ideal for environments were air flow is needed to prevent the build-up of contaminants such as dust. The under-shelf can also be perforated if needed or can made from bars or mesh. The table as standard comes with stainless steel non-marking rubber-based, height-adjustable feet to adapt to the height of the user and level out on uneven floors; or it can be mobile with antistatic zero silicone wheels, important for electronic environments.
Responding to the needs of a clean environment clear of cross contamination, Teknomek has developed a new waste bin that is free from non-shedding material. The range of bins have all been updated for ease of use so they can be operated by hand, knee or foot. Knee paddles have been adjusted in height and size enabling successful hands-free bin lid opening. The units come in a versatile range from ring only to fully enclosed, to hold one, two or three waste bags and can be wall-mounted or free-standing. Other design improvements have been to reduce dirt traps and improve cleaning efficiency.
Three-tier clearing trolley
As part of the design updates across the range, Teknomek has responded to user feedback and has expanded its clearing trolley range. The adaptable design means the trolleys can come with 2, 3 or 4 tiers with solid shelving or wire shelves to improve air flow. Galley rails can also be added to one or all shelves. With a maximum load capacity of 200kg, the fully welded construction is built to last. The trolleys all come with four quiet castors, two of which are braked. For easier cleaning, weld marks are removed, making a smooth finish with less dirt traps.
'We believe our customer research puts us in an informed and expert position when it comes to lab and cleanroom design. A lot of our furniture can be specifically adapted or designed from scratch, ensuring it is precisely fit for purpose,' said Sue Springett, Teknomek Commercial Manager. 'All our products follow the core principles of supporting hygienic control through intelligent design and excellent manufacturing standards while being versatile, built to last and backed by our quick "order to out the door" turnaround time.'
