Cleanroom Doors in Pharma Manufacturing

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, maintaining a controlled, contamination-free environment is critical. One essential element that supports this environment is the installation of high-quality Clean Room Doors. These doors not only enhance operational efficiency but also ensure regulatory compliance and protect against cross-contamination risks. Let’s explore the specifications and benefits of cleanroom doors typically used in pharma cleanroom setups.

What Are Clean Room Doors?

Clean Room Doors are specially designed entries that align with the stringent requirements of controlled environments like pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. These doors are engineered to maintain airtight sealing, smooth surfaces for easy cleaning, and resistance to microbial and particulate contamination.

Construction and Design

These cleanroom doors are typically double skin doors, built either with or without view panels. The construction mirrors that of modular panels, providing seamless integration with cleanroom walls.

Material of Construction:

• Door Shutter: GPSP GI Sheet – 0.8 mm thick

• Door Frame: GPSP GI Sheet – 1.2 mm thick

• Fire-Rated Doors: GPSP GI Sheet – 1.2 mm shutter & 1.6 mm frame

• Shutter Thickness: Available in 42, 44, or 46 mm

  
  

Surface Finish and Coating

To ensure longevity and compliance with cleanroom standards, the doors are finished with high-quality materials:

• Finish: Powder-coated or Stainless Steel

• Powder Coating Thickness: 60–80 microns

This finish enhances corrosion resistance and allows easy cleaning, essential for maintaining hygiene in sterile environments.

Sizes and Dimensions

These Clean Room Doors come in various sizes to suit different operational requirements:

• Door Thickness Options: 50 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm

• Available Widths: 750 mm to 2200 mm

• Standard Heights: Customizable based on project needs

  
  

Door Accessories

A well-equipped cleanroom door is crucial for ensuring functionality and safety. Key accessories include:

• Stainless Steel Hinges: 3-4 per door

• Handles: Stainless Steel ‘D’ type (20 mm dia., 300 mm length)

• Push Plate: 125 x 300 mm

• Door Closer: Dorma TS-68 standard arm

• Locking System: Both side key-operated

• Additional Features:

  • Automatic bottom seal

  • View panel with 6 mm safety glass

  • Panic bar for emergency exit

  • Flush tower bolt for double doors

  • 300 mm high stainless steel kick plate

  • Provision for door interlocking system

    
    

Insulation and Filler Materials

To maintain thermal insulation and soundproofing, cleanroom doors are filled with high-density core materials:

• PUF (Polyurethane Foam) – 40±2 kg/m³

• PIR (Polyisocyanurate) – 48±2 kg/m³

• ROCKWOOL – 96±2 kg/m³

Each filler type serves different insulation and fire resistance needs depending on the application within the pharmaceutical facility.

Conclusion

Clean Room Doors are a critical component in pharma manufacturing, where precision, hygiene, and contamination control are non-negotiable. With options for various materials, finishes, accessories, and fillers, these doors are tailored to meet the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical cleanrooms. Investing in quality cleanroom doors ensures operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and most importantly, product integrity.
