Is a High-Speed Roll Up Door Right for Your Cleanroom?

Goto EZONG to know more.

Imagine you have an employee who keeps others from being productive and calls in sick more than anyone else. This person repeatedly causes cross-contamination and ignores your requests to improve their behavior.

What would you do with this employee? You would fire them, of course.

If this 'employee' sounds like your cleanroom door (slow, prone to breakdowns and frustrating to other team members), it's time to cut ties. When your business depends on providing the highest quality products, you can't have sub-standard equipment. Period.

Whether you need a cleanroom door for a medical, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, or laboratory application, our buyer's checklist can help you choose a quality, long-lasting door that will improve the productivity and cleanliness of your facility.

Cleanroom Roll Up Doors - What You Need to Know

One a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the best), how efficient is your existing cleanroom door? When thinking about your response, here are a few things to consider:

• Do staff members wait more than two seconds for the door to open?
• Does it maintain a tight seal and minimize air leakage?
• Is it self-repairing?

If you answered 'no' to any of the questions above, or rated your door lower than a '7,' a new high-speed roll up door will quickly pay for itself in improved productivity. You'll also reduce air intrusion, cross-contamination, and downtime.

Cleanroom Door Checklist for Buyers

While no two cleanrooms are exactly alike, they all share some basic requirements. Here is a checklist of must-haves when selecting a high-speed roll up door:

• Avoid doors with exposed fasteners and coils, sharp edges or angles (they take longer to clean and create a home for contaminants).
• Choose a door made from non-porous materials (to prevent microbial or fungal growth) that can withstand repeated washdowns with chemical solvents.
• Look for a door made with corrosion-resistant stainless steel side frames and hoods.
• Confirm the door conforms to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and is made from FDA/USDA-approved material.
• Ask about safety features such as impact-avoidance sensors and alternative opening methods in the event of a power failure.
• Choose a door with a lubrication-free design (lubricants create an attractive home for contaminants).
• Ensure the door meets your pascal pressure rating requirements.

Cleanrooms are critical in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and electronics. They are designed to maintain a controlled environment with low levels of airborne particles, bacteria, and other contaminants.

Cleanroom doors are a crucial aspect of cleanroom design. We offer durable airlock cleanroom doors in single-wing and double-wing models with interlock system solutions. Our doors comply with ISO standards and are highly customizable with accessories to fit specific needs. KleanLabs' clean room doors provide a reliable and safe environment for sensitive operations.

Overview of cleanroom door specifications

When choosing cleanroom doors, it is essential to consider their material, seal, hinges, locks, and windows. Carefully selecting clean room door specifications and accessories helps industries to ensure that their cleanrooms remain free of contaminants and meet the necessary standards for their applications.

Kleanlabs' cleanroom doors are highly customizable and available in custom sizes, enabling customers to choose the perfect size and model for their needs. The following are some critical clean room door specifications to consider.

Opening dimensions

When choosing cleanroom doors, there are minimum and maximum opening dimensions to consider. For a single-winged, hinged cleanroom door, the minimum opening dimension is 600x mm and the maximum is x mm. For the double-winged hinged model, the minimum opening dimension is x mm and the maximum is x mm.

For single-winged sliding cleanroom doors, the minimum opening dimension is 600x mm and the maximum is x mm. The double-winged model has a minimum of x mm and the maximum opening dimensions are the same as the single-winged version.

Specific requirements for custom dimensions can be accommodated for both hinged and sliding cleanroom door models, including single and double-winged options.

Insulation

Our cleanroom doors come with standard PIR insulation. However, customers who require higher levels of fire resistance may opt for mineral wool insulation, as an optional upgrade. Rock- and other mineral wool insulations provide superior fire resistance compared to PIR insulation, but it is important to note that in the case of our cleanroom doors, neither insulation type is fireproof.

Standard Fittings

We offer standard fittings for single and double-winged hinged cleanroom doors to meet the specifications of various industrial applications. The fittings include aluminum door edges and steel door inserts, to provide durability and strength to the door. Universal door frames are also available for both hinged and sliding clean room doors, designed to fit different wall types, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cleanroom environments.

Hinged clean room doors shut flush with the wall, the 3D adjustable hinges allow flexibility in installation, ensuring that the door fits securely and operates smoothly. While not airtight, the system does prevent contamination by sealing the door edges. Our sliding-type door closers provide an effortless and efficient way of closing the door, while plain glazing allows for transparency without compromising on the required levels of cleanliness.

KleanLabs sliding doors are designed with a compact, smooth running sliding track with upper cover, ensuring efficient and smooth operation while maintaining the required cleanliness levels. Of course such doors cannot close flush with the wall, but well-designed rubber profiles offer the same level or sealing as our hinged doors. With our range of standard fittings for sliding cleanroom doors, we are able to offer a comprehensive solution for any cleanroom environment.

Choose from our clean room door accessories for custom requirements

In addition to meeting different specifications, clean room door accessories may also be required to maintain the integrity of the controlled environment.

• Doors interlocking,
• green-red traffic light,
• release button for interlock, and
• stainless steel door inserts

are the key accessories available for both hinged and sliding cleanroom doors in single or double-winged versions. For hinged cleanroom doors, a hydraulic door closer is also available to ensure that the door closes properly and securely.

However, for sliding cleanroom doors, a wider range of accessories are offered, including an

• automatic opening kit,
• battery-powered safety opening,
• magic switch opening,
• safety photocells,
• safety radar,
• remote control, and
• an external display screen.

These features allow for ease of use while maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the cleanroom environment.
