Controlled environment with a transport device, use of clamping devices, use of at least one sealing element, use of a transport unit

Abstract

For a controlled environment (1), adjacent drive modules (5) of a transport device (4) of the controlled environment (1) are sealed against each other in a sealing region (12) such that particles and/or impurities, in particular microbiological impurities, do not enter the controlled environment (1) from the outside. Each drive module (5) is designed for levitation (6) of at least one transport unit (7), in particular a mover (8), and a coupling side (9) of the drive module (5) is very substantially covered by a sealing member (10).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
