The production of sophisticated products – for example in the pharmaceutical industry or electrical engineering – is often subject to strict regulations. To meet these, Schäfer Facility Systems GmbH offers comprehensive equipment concepts for personnel doors and cleanrooms. The sister company of the same-named WC partition system manufacturer from Westerwald is expanding its range with a new product line. The functional interior fittings are customized according to the customer's individual requirements and adapted to operational processes. They combine aesthetic functionality with the highest hygiene standards.

Free from germs, dust, and dirt – no other utility area is as demanding as a cleanroom. When manufacturing sensitive goods – such as in pharmaceuticals, processor technology, or semiconductor manufacturing – the highest level of cleanliness is essential. Depending on the sensitivity of the materials used, production takes place in different cleanroom classes. Usually, humans are the biggest source of contamination in the production process. Contamination of this demanding environment not only jeopardizes production safety but also leads to increased cleaning and costs.

Avoid contamination from the start

Hygiene is therefore essential even when entering the workplace. Staff changing rooms with integrated washbasins and hand disinfection stations allow for a clean change of everyday and work clothing. Modern transponder technology enables contactless use of changing and valuables cabinets. Sensitive production areas are often separated from the changing rooms by pre-entrance personnel doors. These also serve as the norm-compliant transition between different cleanroom classes. As a link between the changing room and the sterile area, the doors are subject to special requirements. Schäfer's needs-oriented system solutions help meet the strict regulations applicable to cleanrooms. “Schäfer Partition Wall Systems GmbH already has many years of experience in this application area. With the newly founded Schäfer Facility Systems GmbH, we are now focusing even more consistently on this segment and can serve the special needs of customers in this area even better,” explains Martin Schäfer, Managing Director of Schäfer Facility Systems GmbH and the sister company Schäfer Partition Wall Systems GmbH.

Cabinet system for optimal space utilization

The diverse product range includes storage cabinets for single-use or reusable items, gown lockers, laundry and waste disposal cabinets, as well as mirrors and sit-over cabinets. Tailored to operational processes, the equipment facilitates employee access and ensures continuous safety in the cleanroom production. Modular cabinet systems provide an optimal solution for different cleanroom classes. Custom-made material and storage cabinets, hanging cabinets, and storage furniture guarantee optimal space utilization even with limited space. Material, shape, and function can be tailored to needs. A wide selection of color shades allows for the customization of cabinet elements to the company's own design or the development of an orientation system. The smooth and food-safe surface of the HPL system offers high resistance to chemicals and disinfectants. An antistatic version increases safety, especially in technical operations. A comprehensive range of equipment and accessories completes the product portfolio.

With holistic cleanroom concepts, the Westerwald company successfully combines demanding safety requirements with maximum space efficiency.
