Innovation. Design. Quality

Compressed air is operated to inflate the door seal, fitting against the curved door frame, creating a barrier against leakage resistance for pressure differences of up to 2000Pa (8” w.g.). This ensures a secure fit, allowing the use of reliable software during the FAT, and reducing on-site time and risk.

This air seal door set is constructed mainly for containment-controlled facilities worldwide, such as BSL3 and BSL4 laboratories,

The robust door leaf is available in different materials, including polished stainless steel, powder-coated low-carbon steel, and aluminium. The cleanroom door features PBSC’s unique cast stainless-steel hinge assembly and a toughened or laminated glass flush glazed vision panel within the lines of the stainless-steel door frame.

The door leaf and architrave are made of 304 or 316 stainless steel and incorporate the inflatable seal. The standard seal is silicone, but EPDM is available upon request.

Architrave and door leaf are supplied in a polished finish as standard to <0.6Ra, but finer finishes are available upon request.

Hinge sets are provided in cast stainless steel material and come with a satin finish.

The window is available:

  • *  6mm thick round toughened clear glass double-glazed vision panel
  • *  6mm thick square toughened clear glass double-glazed vision panel
  • *  6mm thick radius toughened clear glass vision panel

 

Additionally a privacy cover is available and added to one side of the door leaf only.

The inflatable seal is created by joining a hollow extruded profile to form an airtight seal that can be inflated to seal two surfaces. Providing a clean, time-saving sealing solution to hermetic sealing against powders, gases, liquids, and dust.

Following on-site installation, PBSC offers a Planned Preventative Maintenance and Servicing Plan with an extensive after-sales support service, including planned preventative maintenance programs, servicing, and spare parts.
