The SLD-X hermetically sealed door is ideal for all applications that require maximum performance in terms of hygiene, noise-damping, and/or extra thermal insulation. The SLD-X creates an airtight seal that prevents contaminants from entering the area, making it ideal for cleanrooms, laboratories, and healthcare facilities.
What kind of businesses benefit from a hermetically sealed door?
Hermetically sealed doors are highly specialised and provide critical benefits for businesses and facilities where contamination control, temperature regulation, and secure environments are essential.
Here are the types of companies and sectors that benefit most from these doors:
Healthcare facilities & hospitals
These doors are vital in operating rooms, isolation wards, and laboratories to maintain sterile conditions, prevent cross-contamination, and control air pressure to protect patients and staff.
Pharmaceutical m,anufacturing
In pharmaceutical plants, where precise environmental control is necessary to prevent contamination during drug production, hermetically sealed doors ensure cleanroom integrity and regulatory compliance.
Biotechnology & research laboratories
These facilities require airtight environments to conduct sensitive experiments, protect against contamination, and maintain strict cleanliness standards.
Food processing plants
Hermetically sealed doors help maintain hygiene standards by preventing external contaminants from entering controlled areas, ensuring the safety and quality of food products.
Cleanrooms in various industries
Any industry that uses cleanrooms, such as aerospace, optics, and nanotechnology, benefits from hermetically sealed doors to maintain contamination-free environments and ensure product quality.
Modern door sealing technology
During the door’s closing movement, the pivoting mechanism integrated into the drive unit causes the wing to be simultaneously lowered and pressed against the door frame. The wing’s lowering movement and all-around gaskets give the door a hermetic seal.
The drive mechanism, door leaf surface and seals have been designed to withstand all commonly used cleaning products and the rounded shape of the aluminium drive cover ensures any residue cleaning product will run off.
Features
Auto door leaf locking:
The door’s automatic opening and closing ensures hygienic, barrier-free access whilst ensuring the correct operating procedure. The door seals ensure a high degree of tightness and sound insulation too.
Fully tested door system:
- TÜV-tested DIN 18650-½
- Air permeability conforming to EN 12207, class 2
User safety:
The Combi-Scan and Side-Scan presence detectors are integrated into the door’s drive unit, offering protection to users who might be in the door’s range of movement.
Construction:
- The door’s system of aluminium profiles permits a wide range of door leaf configurations eg.
- Leaf configuration – e.g. sandwich panel(with artificial resin or stainless steel finish)
- Framed, all-glass configuration with insulating glass
- Sandwich panel with flush-fitted window (glass insert)
- Fixed point guide
- Locking drive mechanism option
- GDUK patented swivelling/lowering mechanism and all-around seals prevent unwanted exchanges of air and the penetration of foreign objects
- Single- and double-frame configurations to match the current building structure
- Drive mechanism in round-edged aluminium casing
- Drive mechanism, door leaf finish and seals are all resistant to the standard cleaning agents used in the health sector
