Cleanroom airlock fitting
We manufacture and install airlock furniture for cleanrooms.
Our design office studies and creates custom plans with optimised design and delivery lead times.​
The airlock constitutes an essential transition zone between areas of different cleanliness classifications. Its purpose is to limit the transfer of particulate, microbiological or chemical contamination between spaces.
In a cleanroom, several types of airlock can be implemented: personnel airlocks, material airlocks, raw material airlocks and waste airlocks. These intermediate zones enable flow control and ensure the separation of clean and uncontrolled environments.
Equipment must be designed to minimise particle retention, facilitate cleaning and withstand intensive disinfection protocols.
Functional organisation of a cleanroom airlock
A layout that responds to flow organisation
The layout of an airlock must comply with precise flow organisation principles:
- Separation of clean and dirty flows
- Logical progression through the gowning process
- Minimisation of circulation crossovers
- Optimisation of transfer operations
A personnel airlock generally comprises several stages:
- The undressing or pre-entry zone
- The intermediate gowning zone
- The cleanroom access zone
This organisation enables gowning protocols to be applied and reduces the introduction of particles by operators.
Specific furniture adapted to the different zones
The furniture installed in airlocks is designed to facilitate gowning procedures and equipment management:
- Shoe-change benches
- Changing rooms and wardrobes
- Storage cabinets
- Protective equipment dispensers
- Waste or used garment collectors
- Sinks and handwashing stations
This equipment must meet the same requirements as cleanroom furniture: smooth surfaces, resistant materials and easy cleaning.
Custom design integrated into processes
Every cleanroom installation has its own specific constraints:
- ISO classification
- Operator flows
- Type of production
- Available floor space
The airlock layout must therefore be custom-designed to integrate:
- Contamination control procedures
- Logistics flows
- Regulatory requirements (GMP, ISO)
A specialist design office enables the optimal positioning of furniture and ensures consistency between the industrial process and the airlock architecture.
