Pharmaproduktion in Puerto RicoBei of the production of medicines is necessary a particle-free environment, since already smallest parts can lead to the pollution of the drugs. In order to ensure such a production environment, the pharmaceutical company Merck at a production location in Puerto Rico furnished several pure areas. For planning and conversion of the clean-room system the plant engineers Daldrop had responsibility + Dr. Ing. Huber with seat in Neckartailfingen. In order to regulate the entrance to the material locks, eight pure space gates of the type RapidRoll� Clean of Albany Door of system were integrated. The high-speed run roll gate orients itself at the requirements of the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and is certified due to its pure space fitness of the Fraunhofer Institut. About 50 kilometers of the capital San Juan far away, in the Caribbean island state Puerto Rico, a production location of the Pharmaproduzenten Merck lies. For the realization of the pure space projects in an order of magnitude of 1,400 square meters it was valid,� to convert the inventory building. The new areas were finished in July 2011. The areas are kept complete and with pure space furniture made of Trespa and high-grade steel equipped in white. The enterprise Daldrop + Dr. Ing. Huber was responsible for planning and execution of the pure areas in the classes C (ISO 7) corresponds and to D (ISO 8). The enterprise has more than 30 years experience in the clean-room technology and belonged to the offerers leading world-wide with the building of clean-room systems. In principle a pure area is in such a way designed that the number airborne is as small particle as possible. At the same time temperature, and air humidity are kept pressure constant, in order to create comparable conditions. In medicine production beside the number the particle in air also the concentration of the germs is supervised. Efficient material lock material for production arrives over air-locks into the high-sensitive range of the pure area. In order to avoid the pollution of the area, air flows whirl up the existing particles, filter systems suck off them afterwards. For a reliable and space-saving entrance the planner decided for the RapidRoll� Clean of Albany. For an optimal functionality of the air-lock the high tightness of the gates was in addition crucial, in order to avoid rushing over from area to area. Since the air-locks are frequently cleaned, in order a permanent hygiene quality in the pure area upright too received, the gates must have to be cleaned to disinfectants resistant and easy. The smooth Torbehang from PVC with white fabric course strips corresponds to this requirement and inserts themselves also optically into the pure area white held. � we have the gates of Albany due to their pure space fitness as well as the price performance ratio at Merck recommended �, say Jose Vaz Dieguez, project manager with Daldrop + Dr. Ing. stroke-he-regular passage important for the daily use in medicine production of Merck were the equipment of the gates with a Interlocking system. That means the fact that the gates lock themselves mutually and never a passage between two differently classified pure areas develops. Only if a gate is completely closed, the next can be opened. The LED installation lights in the side parts of the gate, which function like a traffic light, visualize this procedure: When the light is green the gate is passable, does not shine the red lamp is approved the passage. Contactlessly open-opening those at Merck of inserted gates are equipped with the so-called � Magic SWITCH �, a contactless pulse generator, in order to ensure a hygenic and brisk opening by hand movement. By fast opening up to two meters per second and latches up to a meter per second the air interchange is reduced to a minimum. Thus will the filter less loaded and the pure area can more economically be operated. The drive is particularly on the requirements locally aligned, since the voltage is of Puerto Rico with 480 V. The integrated cable run provides for a smooth total surface and offers no attack region for additional particle turbulences. Examined SicherheitDie of high-speed run roll gates in the material locks of Merck corresponds to the UL-standards, which are valid in the American area. The electrical components are examined on their security. The RapidRoll� Clean is equipped with an no-break current supply. If it comes build-laterally to a power failure, the gate still 50 to 60 times can be moved � prevents the contamination of the pure areas and protects those coworker picture: Such gates of the type RapidRoll� Clean of Albany were built with the pharmaceutical company Merck into Puerto Rico.� �
