Fully Automatic Clean Explosion-Proof Crane for Polysilicon
Featured image of the specialized automatic crane operating in a clean semiconductor-grade polysilicon production room.
Semiconductor-grade polysilicon manufacturing creates one of the most demanding crane environments: the lifting system must operate inside a clean production area while also meeting explosion-protection requirements and automated precision-handling needs.
Henan Mine Crane developed a fully automatic clean explosion-proof crane for a polysilicon producer in Jiangsu. The source states that the workshop requires air cleanliness Class 4 under the referenced project classification (national standard Class 7) and contains flammable and explosive gases. The crane explosion-protection grade is stated as dIICT4.
Project Background
The crane automatically transfers reduction furnaces and silicon-rod tooling between the reduction-furnace platform, cleaning platform, transfer platform and rod-removal tooling positions according to programmed travel routes.
To reduce contamination, the crane uses wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials together with dust-collection devices. The source states that 16 invention patents were obtained through development of this clean explosion-proof automatic crane type.
High-sealing explosion-proof drives, maintenance-free self-lubricating bearings, compact motor/reducer/brake/electrical-monitoring assemblies, high-strength alloy steel and stainless-steel rotating/protective/connecting parts are described in the source.
Customer Challenges
- Maintaining very high cleanliness while crane wheels, drives and brakes operate overhead.
- Meeting dIICT4 explosion-protection requirements in areas containing flammable gases.
- Automatically transferring reduction furnaces and silicon-rod tooling between several process platforms.
- Achieving very precise positioning without relying on onboard manual operation.
- Reducing sway during automatic movement of high-value semiconductor-production equipment.
- Detecting faults and component-life conditions before they interrupt cleanroom production.
Henan Mine Crane Solution
The clean design uses high-pressure anti-static coating, sealed structural welding and specialized material choices to reduce dust adhesion and dust generation.
Unexpected iron, gray dust particles or oil contamination are managed through permanent-magnetic mechanical dust collection, explosion-proof electric dust removal and mechanical oil-collection devices described in the source.
Fully automatic unmanned operation includes anti-sway automatic positioning and automatic hook-on / hook-off functions. Electronic laser reading of coded positioning information is used for precise location control. The source reports positioning accuracy at sub-millimeter scale.
Fault auto-alarm, automatic fault-cause detection and component-life alarm functions provide maintenance information for the cleanroom crane.

Why Choose Henan Mine Crane
- Henan Mine Crane can engineer cleanroom and explosion-protection requirements together rather than treating them as separate upgrades.
- Automatic routes and position coordinates can be matched to the customer's process platforms.
- Material, coating, sealing and dust-collection measures can be selected around the required clean classification.
- Explosion-protection scope must be matched to the buyer's approved hazardous-area specification and local standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What explosion-protection grade is used in the referenced polysilicon crane?
The source states a dIICT4 explosion-protection grade for the project crane.
Can a cleanroom crane operate fully automatically?
Yes. The referenced crane performs unmanned automatic travel, precise positioning, anti-sway control and automatic hook-on / hook-off operations.
What positioning accuracy is reported by the source?
The source states that laser-coded positioning can achieve accuracy at a sub-millimeter scale. A new project's guaranteed tolerance should be agreed separately in the technical specification and acceptance test.
How is crane-generated contamination controlled?
The source describes anti-static coating, sealed welding, wear/corrosion-resistant materials, permanent-magnetic dust collection, explosion-proof electric dust removal and mechanical oil collection.
