Clean rooms are much more than storage spaces. They are critical transition zones that maintain the exact pressure levels, temperature, and air quality required for the safe storage of controlled goods, whilst also preventing any forms of contamination. Even if products are only held there for a few days, these conditions must be strictly maintained at all times, and achieving this requires a clean room door that ticks all the right boxes.
These specialised doors form a barrier between your controlled products, and the rest of your commercial or industrial facility, and here are the key design features to be on the lookout for when sourcing or replacing your clean room door:
| Your Requirements | Our Clean Room High Speed Door |
| A Strong Seal | A tight seal to prevent external contaminants from entering the room. |
| Fast Operating Speeds | Our fastest system, with operating speeds of up to 2metres per second. |
| Prevent Airborne Pollution | Wind load tested to category 5. |
| Temperature Regulating | Capable of maintaining stable internal climates, both hot and cold. |
| Self-Repairing System | Manufactured with a self-repairing system that automatically activates upon impact. |
A Strong Seal
A clean room door is, first and foremost, a barrier against contamination.
Cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics and more are all high-purity products that require a completely sterile storage space. If a single contaminant – a speck of dust or a stray microbe – enters these sealed-off areas, then the propagating bacteria can quickly render entire shipments unsuitable for distribution.
The reality of storing these products presents huge compliance challenges, and there is no room for error. To truly seal your clean room, our doors come with stainless steel side and head columns that maintain a consistent seal around the perimeter with no gaps for contaminants to filter through.
Fast Operating Speeds
The tight seal offered by our doors maintains stable conditions inside your clean room, but obviously, the purpose of a door is to open: and sooner or later, the seal will need to be broken in order to access your inventory.
Whilst this is unavoidable, it does not have to come with a risk of contamination. With a super fast roll up design, our Clean Room Door operates at speeds of up to 2 metres per second to minimise air exchange between the sterile storage space and the rest of your premises.
This slashes the amount of time that the door is open for, but don’t let these high speeds cause you any concern. Our systems are engineered with an inverter drive to deliver a smooth start and a soft close for each cycle, dramatically reducing the risk of both derailments, and mechanical wear and tear.
Prevent Airborne Pollution
Depending upon the location of your clean room, the risks to your controlled goods may persist even when the door is closed.
If these transition zones are located on the outskirts of your site, then the door that you install will need to be ready to handle a range of external conditions, including increased wind pressure. High winds can force outside air through the gaps between a door and the surrounding walls, especially if the wind loads reach Category 3, 4, or even 5, and if your premises often face severe weather, then you will be pleased to hear that our Clean Room Door has been wind load tested to Category 5.
This is the highest performance class available and means that our doors are able to withstand winds of over 100 mph, so that no matter where your clean room is, the required conditions are maintained.
Temperature Regulating
As well as having strict storage requirements, many of the products that are stored in your clean room may also be climate-sensitive.
If they require specific temperatures and humidity levels to maintain their integrity then our doors can assist. Thanks to their fast speeds, only the minimal amount of temperature-controlled air is lost whilst the door is open, allowing your team to quickly move shipments around without destabilising the internal climate of the room.
In addition to this rapid action, our Clean Room Doors also combine a tight seal (as already discussed) and their impressive integral insulation to minimise heat bleed whilst the door is closed. This is an invisible expense that might not be seen, but is certainly felt, especially if it leads to your shipments being compromised, so curb this unnecessary energy consumption altogether with our Clean Room Doors.
Self-Repairing System
All of these technical benefits make our High Speed Clean Room Doors the clear choice when selecting the right system for your storage facility; but what happens if the door breaks down or the system fails?
Accidents can happen, and a misjudged maneuver or momentary mishap can have far-reaching consequences. As well as unscheduled downtime, a broken clean room door also results in the loss of controlled goods, a huge dent in your revenue, and an unfilled gap in the supply chain, so avoid them all with our self-repairing systems.
If your door ever becomes dislodged by impact, this break-out system automatically activates and reinserts the door back into its guides. Just one open and close cycle is all that is needed for the door to recover its position and get straight back to protecting your products.
