Impenetrably for micro particles and bacteria

In the pure areas of pharmaceutical industry micro deaf particles already already endanger the purity of the products: Error, which cannot afford the Bachem AG as world market leaders. Pure areas and perfectly filtered air represent fair production of medicines with biotechnology enterprise the most substantial conditions for the GMP. Neuralgic point of the controlled ranges are the air-locks for persons and material. Reason of enough for the Bachem AG to decide for pure space special gates from Efaflex to because those reach an extremely high tightness.�" Already smallest impurities in the spatial air can to expensive losses in the production of pharmaceutical industry f�hren" , Daniel Brechb�hl explains. He is the group leader of the support team of the Bachem AG. The requirement profile to the quality of pure areas and pure space components constantly increased from there. �" In our pure areas and the air-locks before it a constant space printing must always prevail. Within 15 minutes the pressure loss may not more largely than 1 millibar per minute sein" , Brechb�hl describes. " If that would not be the case, when opening the gates large quantities of micro-fine dirt particles would penetrate each mark into the pure area. The filter load would increase thereby considerably and thus the financial expenditure for the troublefree conversion of most modern production procedures.�In order to prevent, the gates must be absolutely close to the controlled manufacturing zones and their air-locks. The Efaflex high-speed run of roll gates for the pure space range achieves very high values in the tightness due to its closed Behangf�hrung. Pressure gradients within the range around 15 Pa cause an air loss of under 10 m � /h with a gate size of 1400 mm x 2000 mm. �The gates of the type EFA SRT� CR correspond to all usual requirements at equipment components for pure areas. As a group leader of the support team Daniel Brechb�hl attaches great importance to the perfect function of the gates. " Here everything must be and troublefree cleanly laufen" , it says. A smooth surface texture and no supernatant edges have the efficient and hermetic high-speed run of roll gates. So can on the surfaces no dirt particle set off. The trim and Behangverkleidungen are implemented in assembly and low-maintenance tie-clip technology. Optics, Haptik and technology profit remarkably from the large renouncement of conventional bolt connections.�Air loss in air-locks and pure areas is substantially reduced by fast opening and reasoning. In practice for the EFA SRT� CR opening velocities worked in the best way around 1 m/sek. and closing speeds of approximately 0.5 m/sek. �Before the high-speed run roll gates were inserted, there were doors in the pure space air-locks only. " That was often very closely, particularly, if material were brought into the pure areas. Since we have the new gates, enough clearance of motion exists to the Arbeiten." The size of the gates makes it possible problem-free to transport now also large material later into the air-locks and into the pure areas. As enterprise in the area of the biotechnology the Bachem AG is a world-wide largest independent producer of Peptiden. After the establishment of an enterprise 1971 Bachem manufactured Peptide for medicines under CGMP conditions before 30 years with eight coworkers for the first time. In the meantime Bachem world market guide is noted and since 1998 as corporation at Swiss stock exchange. At six manufacturing plants in the USA and Switzerland altogether 650 cooperating are active. The gross income of all enterprises amounted 2007 to CHF 198.3 millions The health of the coworkers and a modern efficient equipment of the production areas are important for a lasting development of the company. The Bachem AG built ten of the fast special gates for pure areas in the meantime into controlled production areas. " These gates are unverzichtbar" for us; , Daniel Brechb�hl says. " We were at any time empfehlen." it;
