Stainless steel door
Shipment of SS304 stainless steel door has been sent out for a clean room pharmaceutical factory.
As a key location for drug production, pharmaceutical factories have almost stringent requirements for the environment. Air quality is directly related to the quality of drugs, and small dust particles and microorganisms can become the source of drug pollution, causing quality problems and threatening the health of users.
From raw material processing to finished product packaging, every step must be carried out in highly clean air to prevent impurities from entering the drug. Hygiene standards are the bottom line that pharmaceutical companies strictly adhere to.
Factory buildings, equipment, tools, etc. need to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected regularly to prevent the growth of bacteria and viruses and prevent cross contamination. The hygiene operation standards for personnel are also strict, from wearing clean clothes, washing hands and disinfecting, to prohibiting non-essential items from entering the production area, every step is to safeguard drug safety.
The precise control of temperature and humidity cannot be ignored. Most pharmaceutical production requires an ambient temperature of 18 ℃ -26 ℃ and a relative humidity of 45% -65%. Different drugs and processes may have more precise temperature and humidity settings.
Excessive or insufficient temperature and humidity not only affect the stability of the drug production process, but may also alter the chemical properties of the drug, reduce its efficacy, and even produce harmful by-products.
The reason why airtight 304 stainless steel doors can become the "gatekeepers" of pharmaceutical factories:
​
-
Excellent airtightness
The precise fit between the door frame and the door panel is unparalleled. The specially designed sealing strip is like a loyal guardian, tightly fitting the gap between the door frame and the door panel, keeping out all external air, dust, microorganisms, etc.
When the door is closed, it is like covering the key areas of the pharmaceutical factory with an invisible shield to ensure the internal cleanliness stable, create a stable and pollution-free environment for drug production, effectively avoid impurities from mixing with drugs, and ensure the purity and quality of each drug.
-
Super strong corrosion resistance
In the daily production of pharmaceutical factories, chemical agents evaporate, water vapor permeates, and corrosive substances are everywhere. The airtight 304 stainless steel door can handle it calmly, relying on its material characteristics rich in alloy elements such as chromium and nickel, forming a dense passivation film to resist acid, alkali, and moisture invasion, and maintaining the integrity of the door structure and a smooth appearance for a long time.
In frequent contact with corrosive environments, it remains rust free and deformation free even after years of use, continuously guarding various areas of the pharmaceutical factory, reducing maintenance costs and equipment renewal frequency, which is a solid guarantee for the durability of the pharmaceutical factory.
-
Easy to clean and hygienic guarantee
The hygiene of the pharmaceutical factory is no small matter. The surface of the airtight 304 stainless steel door is as smooth as a mirror, without pores or wrinkles, and does not provide a hiding place for dirt and bacteria.
Daily cleaning only requires simple wiping to remove dust and stains. When disinfecting, conventional disinfectants can be wiped or sprayed without damaging the door, easily meeting the high standard disinfection requirements of pharmaceutical factories, effectively preventing bacterial growth and cross contamination, and always safeguarding the hygiene and safety of the entire drug production process.
Airtight stainless steel door’s application in pharmaceutical factory
-
Raw material storage area
The raw material storage area of the pharmaceutical factory stores a large amount of highly active and easily contaminated raw materials, which are the source of drug quality. The airtight stainless-steel door builds the first line of defense here, relying on excellent airtightness to prevent external dust and microbial invasion, ensuring that the purity of raw materials is not affected during storage.
For example, some moisture sensitive powdered raw materials have airtight doors to prevent moisture from entering and causing clumping and deterioration.
-
Production and processing area
The core area of drug molding - the production and processing zone, where various equipment operates precisely and has extremely high environmental requirements. 304 stainless steel airtight door is accurately regulating temperature and humidity, reducing external environmental interference, and maintaining stable production conditions.
At the same time, the airtight door strictly controls the number of microorganisms, preventing bacteria from "hitchhiking" and contaminating drugs, creating a clean and stable "micro-environment" for complex production processes, effectively reducing defect rates, and improving overall production efficiency.
-
Quality Inspection Laboratory
Quality inspection is a key checkpoint before the drug leaves the factory, and high-precision testing instruments in the laboratory have zero tolerance for environmental fluctuations. The 304 stainless steel airtight door isolates the vibration and dust interference caused by external personnel walking and equipment operation, helps the instrument operate stably, and ensures accurate and reliable detection data.
Small environmental changes such as high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry can affect detection accuracy. The airtight door creates a quiet and clean detection space, strictly controlling the quality of each batch of drugs, allowing qualified drugs to enter the market, and safeguarding patient medication safety.
How to choose a suitable airtight stainless-steel door?
-
Pay attention to product quality standards
When selecting 304 stainless steel airtight doors, quality is the primary consideration. Referring to relevant industry standards, if the airtightness performance needs to reach the high level specified in GB/T 7106, ensure that there is no air leakage in small gaps;
Check the material composition to ensure that the chromium and nickel content meets the 304 stainless-steel Standard, and ensure quality control from the source.
-
Adapt to the layout requirements of pharmaceutical factories
The functions of pharmaceutical factories vary in different regions, with different channel widths and usage frequencies. Single swing door is often used in clean corridors to save space and provide flexible opening, making it convenient for a small number of people to pass through. Large storage areas are more suitable for double or sliding doors to meet the needs of forklift handling of materials and entry and exit of large equipment, ensuring efficient logistics.
At the same time, the size of the door body is customized according to the height of the space to avoid problems such as collision and poor sealing after installation, ensuring a perfect fit between the door and the layout of the pharmaceutical factory, and improving the overall smooth operation.
-
Consider brand and after-sales service
It is recommended to prioritize airtight door brands with good reputation and rich experience. They invest more in product development and process optimization, resulting in superior product stability and durability.
Improving after-sales service is equally crucial. A timely response maintenance team can quickly solve problems such as door malfunctions and aging sealing strips, reducing interference with the production schedule of the pharmaceutical factory.
Some brands provide regular follow-up visits and maintenance guidance to extend the service life of their doors, allowing pharmaceutical companies to have no worries and focus on their core business of drug research and development and production.
More intelligent sensing, remote monitoring, and automatic adjustment functions are integrated to safeguard the pharmaceutical factory environment in the near future.
