Innovation in lock technology

BECKER Quick Out Material Lock

One essential characteristic of cleanrooms is the loading and unloading of materials and personnel across multiple cleanroom levels. In doing so, the material and personnel pathways are fundamentally separated to prevent cross-contamination. The following explanation focuses on the material pathway…

Fig. 1: Application-related properties also influence the choice of packaging. For example, the simple and hygienic opening of the packaging with the so-called peel-off technique. (Source: Pfennig Reinigungstechnik GmbH)

Fig. 2: In addition to sterilization testing, the suitability of the packaging is also checked. An application-related advantage is a slight vacuum that does not impair the functionality of the fibers. (Source: Pfennig Reinigungstechnik GmbH)

Fig. 3: A significant barrier is the sealing. Therefore, within packaging validation, not only the sealing process is checked, but also the integrity of the seal. (Source: Pfennig Reinigungstechnik GmbH)

Fig. 2: Proper hygienic design, for example through sufficient clearance from floors and walls or by sealing, can facilitate floor and wall cleaning.
The specified minimum clearances are recommendations from EHEDG, Doc. 13. (Source: Witt Hygiene Management, based on Doc. 13 of EHEDG)

Fig. 3: Corners with 90° angles are very difficult to clean. Contaminants tend to accumulate in the corners, which cannot be reached by wiping procedures (so-called round wiping of corners and angles). An optimal design of transitions, such as between wall, door, and floor, can be easily wiped with a floor mop cover without much effort. (Source: enicos e.K. engineering and Gerflor Mipolam GmbH)

Fig. 4: The hygienically appropriate design is also applied in the implementation of qualified equipment for cleaning and disinfection of cleanrooms. Here, as an example, a drainage system developed in accordance with the recommendations of the EHEDG. (Source: Pfennig Reinigungstechnik GmbH)

Cleanroom cleaning and cleanroom disinfection – from planning to operation

First publication in TechnoPharm 7, No.6, 330-335 (2017)

Summary

Poor cleaning results or microbiological exceedances are not solely due to incorrect implementation of cleaning and disinfection measures or the use of unsuitable materials. Errors can already occur during the planning phase, for example…

Planning and construction of air conditioning systems in cleanroom technology

Innovative and forward-looking

When dealing with operators of cleanrooms, one repeatedly hears the complaint: "Our cleanroom incurs operating costs to an extent that is unpredictable for us; can you help us with that?"

Looking more closely at the cleanrooms, it becomes apparent that the entire cleanroom, despite different usage un…
