The high-speed door that ensures a controlled environment in laboratories and cleanrooms

Solutions provided by Ferroflex high-speed doors

Cleanrooms and laboratories are spaces that require a strictly controlled environment. Preventing contamination and maintaining stable conditions of airflow, temperature, and pressure is crucial to ensure the quality of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, biological samples, electronic components, food, and other products. To guarantee a contamination-free environment and employee safety without interrupting production, Ferroflex has developed the high-speed door for laboratories and cleanrooms, certified with Class 5 air permeability—the highest rating in its category.

One of the main challenges is maintaining maximum hygiene inside the room, preventing cross-contamination between the exterior and the interior. At the same time, the door must facilitate the movement of people and goods while maintaining adequate internal pressure, even during opening and closing. It must also prevent temperature variations that could compromise product quality and affect the energy efficiency of climate control systems.

The Ferroflex high-speed door for laboratories and cleanrooms is designed to meet all these requirements. Manufactured with a roll-up curtain, it offers maximum insulation and ensures a sterile environment. Its sealing capacity and fast vertical opening and closing minimize the generation of air currents and differences in pressure and temperature between spaces. This also reduces operating costs thanks to improved energy efficiency.

In fact, its airtightness is classified as Class 5 air permeability according to the UNE-EN H12426:2000 standard. This classification ensures that the door minimizes air infiltration between separated areas, which is crucial in a cleanroom. This feature helps prevent the entry of contaminating particles, ensuring high quality standards in products and processes, and allows the maintenance of appropriate pressure differentials, reduces the risk of cross-contamination, and improves energy efficiency by minimizing climate control losses.

The smooth surface of the curtain makes cleaning easier, helping to maintain hygiene within the facility. In addition, the door can be equipped with technologies that enhance the safety of both products and people passing through it: motion sensors, push buttons, magnetic fields, photoelectric barriers, or UPS systems that allow opening and closing in the event of a power failure. Safety can be further increased with an airlock system, integrating two consecutive doors that prevent simultaneous opening and reduce air exchange between spaces.

Each laboratory or cleanroom has specific requirements, which is why Ferroflex offers multiple customization options. Door dimensions can be adapted to each access point, and the materials allow for screen printing of images or signage to facilitate access identification in accordance with safety protocols. Logos can be printed, or the curtain color can be selected from a wide range of shades to match the corporate identity of the facilities. If required, the door can also be equipped with viewing windows that allow visibility between spaces.

To ensure optimal performance and durability of these doors, Ferroflex offers a comprehensive service covering everything from planning to maintenance. This ongoing support ensures maximum performance, safety, and efficiency of high-speed doors in laboratories and cleanrooms.
