The role of industrial doors in cleanroom projects is becoming more and more important with the widespread use of cleanrooms in many fields around the world (e.g. pharmaceuticals, electronics manufacturing, food processing, etc.). Cleanroom projects exported to all over the world also have a growing demand for industrial doors, especially in maintaining cleanliness, controlling temperature and humidity, and improving work efficiency. This article will introduce in detail the types of industrial doors suitable for cleanrooms, analyze their characteristics and technical parameters, and provide practical guidelines for purchasing to help customers choose the right industrial door products for cleanroom projects.
Cleanroom environment on the special needs of industrial doors
Cleanrooms are environments with strict requirements for air cleanliness, temperature and humidity, and airflow control, and are widely used in biomedical, semiconductor manufacturing, food processing and other industries. Cleanroom door is not only a tool for area separation, but also an important equipment to ensure the stability of the cleanroom environment. Therefore, the industrial doors used in cleanrooms need to have the following key features:
Strong sealing: to avoid airborne particles from entering the clean area and to maintain stable cleanliness.
Fast opening and closing speed: shorten the air circulation time, reduce the opportunity for external pollutants to enter.
Easy to clean: the surface of the door body should be smooth and antibacterial, in line with cleanroom hygiene standards.
High durability: need to be able to maintain stable performance for a long period of time under frequent switching conditions, reducing maintenance costs.
Types of Industrial Doors Commonly Used in Cleanroom Projects
In a cleanroom project, the requirements for industrial doors vary from area to area. According to specific application scenarios, the following common types of industrial doors can meet the different needs of cleanrooms.
1. High Speed Roll Up Door
Scenario: clean room entrances and exits, logistics channels.
Characteristics: High speed roll up door is famous for its fast opening and closing and high sealing performance, which can effectively reduce air exchange and maintain the environmental stability of the clean room. Its automatic induction system makes the logistics efficiency greatly improved.
Technical parameters:
Opening and closing speed: 1.0 to 1.5 meters/second.
Material: High-strength PVC, good wind resistance, suitable for frequent use of the place.
Sealing performance: multi-layer sealing strip design, reduce air loss.
2. High Speed Zipper Door
Applicable scenarios: Inside the clean room, high cleanliness area.
Characteristics: High speed zipper door has a self-repair function and can be automatically reset when damaged, reducing maintenance costs. Suitable for areas with strict cleanliness requirements, such as pharmaceutical factories and electronic manufacturing workshops.
Technical parameters:
Opening and closing speed: 1.5 to 2.5 meters/second.
Self-repairing function: when the door curtain is damaged, the door body can be reset automatically, reducing maintenance time.
3. Insulated High Speed Door
Applicable scenes: cold storage, constant temperature production workshop, food processing area.
Characteristics: Insulated high speed door used in places with strict temperature control, excellent thermal insulation performance, can effectively isolate hot and cold air, suitable for cold chain logistics and food processing.
Technical parameters:
U-value: less than 1.0 W/m²K, good thermal insulation effect.
Wind resistance: wind pressure level up to 700Pa, suitable for outdoor places.
4. Transparent High Speed Door
Applicable scenes: areas requiring visual supervision or lighting.
Characteristics: Transparent high speed door curtains allow operators to observe the production process at any time, ensuring that activities inside and outside the cleanroom are transparent and visible. This type of door is especially suitable for use in cleanrooms that require high visibility and easy management.
Technical parameters:
Material: transparent PVC, wear and scratch resistant.
Opening and closing speed: 1.0 to 1.5 meters/second.
Why do cleanroom projects need high performance industrial doors?
The highly sensitive nature of the cleanroom environment places higher demands on industrial doors. Industrial doors should not only provide basic isolation functions, but also be able to maintain stable air quality, temperature, humidity and other environmental parameters in the cleanroom. The role of high performance industrial doors in cleanroom projects is as follows:
1. Maintain cleanliness
The core requirement of a cleanroom is to control airborne particles, bacteria and other contaminants. High-sealing high-speed rolling doors and high-speed zipper doors can reduce air circulation time, minimize the risk of contaminants entering and ensure a stable environment in the clean area.
2. Enhance work efficiency
The fast opening and closing function of industrial door can shorten the time of goods in and out, especially the logistics channel and the import and export of the production workshop, the high-speed industrial door can greatly improve the operational efficiency, to avoid the time wasted due to the frequent opening and closing of the door.
3. Reduce energy consumption
In the clean room area that needs temperature isolation, such as frozen storage or food processing workshop, the efficient heat preservation door can effectively reduce the exchange of hot and cold air, reduce energy consumption and save the operating costs of enterprises.
4. Safety
Industrial doors with automatic detection of obstacles can automatically stop running when the door encounters obstacles, preventing the door from harming personnel or equipment. The high safety performance of the door body is very suitable for use in high-frequency operation of the clean room.
How to choose the right industrial door for your cleanroom?
Choosing the right industrial door is critical in a cleanroom project. Here are a few key points to consider when shopping for industrial doors:
1. Choose according to cleanliness requirements
Different door bodies should be selected for different cleanliness level areas. For high cleanliness areas, high-speed zipper door can provide the best sealing effect, suitable for sensitive production lines. For logistics entrances and exits, high-speed rolling doors can improve the passage efficiency, while maintaining a clean environment.
2. Consider temperature and humidity control
In areas that require strict temperature control, such as cold storage and food processing plants, it is very important to purchase industrial doors with thermal insulation properties. This type of door can reduce cold air leakage, maintain a constant temperature inside, significantly reducing energy consumption.
3. Focus on maintenance costs
For the frequent use of the door body, the choice of self-repairing features of the door can reduce the frequency of maintenance, reduce the downtime caused by door failure. The self-repairing function of high-speed zipper door ensures the stability of long-term operation.
4. Brand and after-sales service
Choosing a reliable industrial door brand is crucial. Well-known brands such as SEPPES, Hörmann (Hörmann), ASSA ABLOY, etc., not only provide excellent quality products, but also provide professional after-sales service and technical support to ensure that customers can be long-term use.
