[labnetwork] Cleanroom rollup doors

[Nicholas Menounos]

Hi Joe,

We we have a pair of high speed bi-parting doors (https://www.ritehite.com/en/am/products/industrial-doors/high-speed-doors/splitsecond) at the lv1 back of house tool wipedown.

Ours are very large (10'x10' clear) and leak at the seam/floor, the fabric at the window recently ripped and we have had to replace a couple photoeye's...But given the punishment they endure (opening hundreds of times per day for years on end during our fitout), they have proven remarkably reliable. We run them with virtually no preventive maintenance, and they're far more robust than mechanical doors that close against pressurization.

Best,

Hi there, we are looking for solutions for oversized doors.  A suggestion was a cleanroom rollup door (link below).  Have any of you used this type of product before?  Are there any drawbacks or maintenance issues you've experienced?
