Food & pharma
Air barriers for food and pharmaceutical operations
Goods and vehicles must pass through sensitive areas while air and temperature conditions are managed. An air barrier can complement the existing hygiene and zoning concept at the doorway.
Request an assessment
Different processes, different requirements
At open doors in food operations, outside air and flying insects may enter. Temperature zones and goods routes are also part of the hygiene plan. Pharmaceutical logistics often has additional requirements for storage conditions and transitions between controlled areas.
An air barrier can reduce air exchange at a door or conveyor opening. The product, area classification, cleaning process, ventilation and actual traffic need to be assessed for the specific site. Food production and pharma logistics do not share a single standard design.
Possible applications
Food production
Goods doors where flying insects or outdoor air are a concern.
Temperature-controlled storage
Passages between zones with different temperatures and frequent goods movements.
Pharmaceutical logistics
Storage and conveyor openings assessed within the whole airflow concept.
Define the task at the doorway
We first establish whether the priority is insect ingress, temperature separation, controlled storage conditions or a combination.
- Product and type of area
- Door or conveyor opening and goods movement
- Temperature and air-quality requirements
- Existing hygiene, cleaning and ventilation plan
