Manusa launches high-speed door that ensures a controlled environment in laboratories and clean rooms
Clean rooms and laboratories are spaces that require a strictly controlled environment. Preventing contamination and maintaining stable air flow, temperature and pressure conditions is crucial to ensuring the quality of medicines, chemicals, biological samples, electronic components, food and other products. To ensure a contamination-free environment and employee safety without interrupting production, Ferroflex has developed the rapid door for laboratories and clean rooms, with Class 5 air permeability certification, the highest in its category.
One of the main challenges is to maintain maximum hygiene inside the room, preventing cross-contamination between the outside and inside. At the same time, the door must facilitate access for people and goods, maintaining adequate internal pressure, even when opening and closing. It must also prevent temperature variations that could compromise product quality and affect the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems.
Solutions provided by Ferroflex high-speed doors
Ferroflex high-speed doors for laboratories and clean rooms are designed to meet all these needs. Made of roll-up canvas, they offer maximum insulation and guarantee a sterile environment. Their sealing capacity and fast vertical opening and closing minimise draughts and pressure and temperature differences between spaces. This also reduces operating costs thanks to greater energy efficiency.
In fact, its airtightness is classified as Class 5 air permeability, in accordance with the UNE-EN H12426:2000 standard. This classification ensures that the door minimises air infiltration between separate areas, which is crucial in a clean room. This feature helps prevent the entry of contaminating particles, ensuring high standards of quality in products and processes, and allows the appropriate differential pressure to be maintained, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and improving energy efficiency by minimising air conditioning losses.
The smooth surface of the canvas makes cleaning easier, helping to maintain hygiene in the enclosure. In addition, the door can be equipped with technologies that enhance the safety of both products and people passing through it: motion sensors, buttons, magnetic fields, photoelectric barriers or UPS systems that allow it to open and close in the event of a power failure.
Safety can be further enhanced with a lock system, integrating two consecutive doors that prevent them from opening simultaneously and reduce air exchange between spaces.
Each laboratory or clean room has specific requirements, which is why Ferroflex offers several customisation options. Its size can be adapted to the dimensions of each access point, and the materials allow for screen printing of images or signage that facilitate access identification in accordance with safety protocols. It is possible to screen print logos or choose the colour of the canvas from a wide range of shades to adapt the design to the corporate style of the facilities. And, if necessary, it can also be equipped with portholes that allow visibility between spaces.
To ensure optimal operation and durability of these doors, Ferroflex offers a comprehensive service ranging from planning to maintenance. Continuous support guarantees maximum performance, safety and efficiency of high-speed doors in laboratories and clean rooms.
