Hermetically Sealed Swing Lead Door

Hermetic seal swing doors are highly suitable for Operating Theatres (OT), Intensive Care Units (ICUs), and laboratories, as they are specifically engineered to maintain sterile environments, control airflow, and prevent cross-contamination. These doors provide an airtight seal that helps manage positive or negative pressure, essential for maintaining cleanroom standards. 

Key Features of Hermetic Swing Doors for OT
  • Airtight Sealing Mechanism: These doors are designed to seal tightly against the frame and floor when closed. They often feature high-strength, durable seal strips, with specialized mechanisms that may include downward/inward movement (up to 15mm) for enhanced sealing, often conforming to air permeability standards like Class D (UNE-EN 12207:2017).
  • Hygiene and Material: The doors are typically designed with smooth, ledge-free surfaces (e.g., Stainless Steel or High-Pressure Laminate - HPL) to facilitate easy cleaning and prevent the accumulation of bacteria or dust.
  • Operation Types: Available in both manual and automatic versions (swinging). Automatic doors can be equipped with touchless sensors (radar, foot switches) to maintain sterility.
  • Safety and Convenience: They feature, or can be configured with:
    • Radiation Protection: Lead-lined options for X-ray rooms.
    • Vision Panels: Laminated or lead glass windows.
    • Obstruction Detection: Automatic reopening systems.
    • Manual Override: Systems for safe, easy manual operation during power failures.
  • Noise Reduction: Good acoustic insulation properties, creating a quieter, more comfortable environment. 
Typical Specifications
  • Material: Stainless Steel (AISI 304/316) or Galvanized Steel Spray Paint
  • Sealing: Silicone or neoprene gaskets.
  • Application: Suitable for positive/negative pressure, BSL3/BSL4 labs, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
