Cleanroom interlock system in a HIGHCARE cleanroom. We use only sliding and rolling doors. A traditional swing door “swings” across the floor and has the disadvantage of moving dust. For high classification, a flat tight sliding door that moves along the wall panels is preferred. HIGHCARE supplies fully automatic sliding doors that are part of an interlock system. There is a choice of three types of sliding doors: single, double or telescopic, which feature modern switching technology
Interlock and differential pressure
The cleanroom interlock doors are equipped with electronic controls that help prevent the random opening of a door via smart control. Thus, contamination due to the elimination of pressure difference between rooms is protected. Without physical operation, the sliding door determines whether the user is allowed to enter or leave the room. Depending on the prevailing regime, it can be determined in seconds whether the door may be opened morden.
A secure system
The interlock system serves as support and can be bridged with light force.
The sliding doors along with the metal finish of the walls are specially tailored for use and meet all clean room requirements. The doors provide a pressure differential between rooms. If there is a hazardous situation and complete airtightness is necessary then a different type of door is used with a special locking technology, such as in operating rooms in hospitals.
Flat and tight
In its design, HIGHCARE has chosen a flat and tight construction of walls and ceilings. With the aim that blown-in air flows without turbulence toward the return grilles in the walls. The sliding doors fit into this system.
The design and composition of this hollow wall system is flexibly indivisible and simple to disassemble. In the short term, this reduces maintenance costs when making adjustments, but also in the long term. Should it be necessary to change a panel in the future, in a HIGHCARE the wall panels are simple to replace; without breaking or sawing.
The complete system, with the exception of the cast or slab floor, is completely demountable. The cleanroom is easy to relocate. Therefore, a HIGHCARE cleanroom can be leased and there is even a second-hand market.
Cleanroom wall
The standard HIGHCARE wall is hollow and fireproof without PIR, PUR or PS, as in cold storage elements. The wall system is unique and has been used successfully for 25 years. With flat seamless connections between windows, wall panels and sliding doors.
What is special about the HIGHCARE wall

– the wall and ceiling system is already >25yrs successfully applied
A HIGHCARE space is extra clean by using these special walls. The walls are flat and tight without pipes, cables and grids. The wall system is hollow – has a cavity – in which pipes or return air ducts run. The panels are demountable and the cavity is accessible. This creates synergy between walls, ceilings, air technology and daily maintenance. The quality of the wall system, with its unique return strips at plinth level, therefore plays an important role in classification and reducing maintenance costs.
A room without piping is easy to keep clean, sanitary and easy to flush with filtered air, “flush. The absence of annoying pipes in the cleanroom facilitates daily cleaning of the room. Some cleanrooms are cleaned several times a day.
Easily interchangeable
The 900 mm wall system is designed so that all parts are simply interchangeable. HIGHCARE has chosen a basic size of 300 mm for all building components. With this human size, standard: cabinets, tables, chairs, seating areas, day dimensions of door frames, walking areas, etc. fit into the room.
With this modular principle, the chance of special fitting dimensions is the smallest. All components in the cleanroom are built according to this modular system. As a result, windows, doors, return grilles, LED lighting, etc., are easily interchangeable. In principle, this system allows “anyone” to put together a design on paper.
Material
The choice of such a reproducible wall system, which is inert and reliable in terms of dimensions, explains why HIGHCARE chooses metal. There is no alternative to metal that meets so many requirements, such as being resistant to mechanical damage, fire safety, antistatic properties or reproducibility.
This wafer-thin material is strong yet able to withstand large forces. It is readily available, available in large sizes and with a variety of finishes that are resistant to all kinds of chemicals.
Hollow wall (cavity wall)
In cleanrooms, the features “flush” and plumbing are what define the quality of the space. The HIGHCARE wall system is hollow. The cavity is used to supply utilities from outside the space. The cavity space remains accessible from the mezzanine even after completion. The wall panels are simple to open to expand or relocate connections. The cavity space is also used to exhaust return air.
Dilatations between wall panels
The HIGHCARE cleanroom wall is flat and tightly connected on four sides. The vertical seams are connected with a special 4 mm wide cleanroom sealant. The width of the seams is chosen so that the connection remains tightly connected to both panels and the back. The connection is air and watertight. The special cleanroom sealant is both flexible and adhesive and can be removed after disassembly if necessary. The system is designed so that all walls are remountable.
Synergy
Over the past twenty years, the cleanroom wall has been greatly improved. The synergy between walls, ceilings and air treatment technology are the basis for the high technical level in the HIGHCARE cleanroom. We have been producing cleanrooms for more than twenty-five years. Compact sterile metal wall elements, efficiently and flatly finished with lots of glass. A safe and pleasant working environment.

Dismountable/brakeable
A cleanroom wall is sometimes disassembled several times during its life cycle to refurbish machinery or other technical components. With the HIGHCARE wall system, it is always possible to remount the wall after completion and possibly divide wall segments differently.
