316 Stainless Steel Scissor Lift Platform for Transporting Hoppers

Project Overview

The client is a leading company in the Chinese rice wine (Huangjiu) industry, boasting over 350 years of history and an annual production of over 300,000 tons. They hold a 40% market share in the high-end segment. Their stringent production environment (high humidity, steam, frequent cleaning) requires equipment that is corrosion-resistant, hygienically compliant, and capable of automation.

Designed for harsh distillery environments, this 316 stainless steel scissor lift transports hoppers with high frequency, meeting anti-corrosion, hygiene, and automation requirements. It integrates seamlessly with the central control system for precision operation.
