PBSC’s Cleanroom Emergency Escape Panel

In a cleanroom environment, where maintaining controlled conditions is crucial, PBSC’s emergency escape panel also known as a break out panel, service access panel, or kickout panel, serves as a dedicated access point for personnel to exit the cleanroom quickly and safely in the event of an emergency. These panels are designed to ensure the integrity of the cleanroom while providing a reliable means of egress for occupants. Here are some key features and considerations for cleanroom emergency escape panels:

• Quick Access: The emergency escape panel is designed to be easily and quickly accessible by personnel in case of an emergency. It provides a direct and unobstructed route for evacuation.
• Minimal Impact on Cleanroom Integrity: The design of the escape panel minimises the impact on the cleanroom’s controlled environment. The panel seals tightly when not in use to prevent contamination.
• Integration with Cleanroom Design: The escape panel is seamlessly integrated into the cleanroom’s overall design, ensuring that it meets regulatory and safety requirements while maintaining the desired cleanliness levels. Its flush design, minimal visible fixings, and high scratch and wear resistance make it an ideal choice.
• Designed for Cleanroom Use: The BOP can also be utilised as a removable window for equipment access routes during planned shutdowns.

The  cleanroom emergency Escape panel application comes with a standard rebate frame for fire doors, while custom solutions are offered for escape panel doors that open through the escape panel. Widely used in healthcare, medical research, and the pharmaceutical industry worldwide.

• Fast Means of Escape: The panel is easily detached as it is clearly labeled and removed in approximately 6 seconds.
• Construction: PBSC offers a BOP with a PBSC flush frame that is 0.059 inches thick. You can choose between polyester powder-coated or a polished stainless-steel finish, and there are many RAL/BS colors available. The interior panel of this unit features a high-quality acrylic sheet with a rubber gasket, and you can choose between a clear or opaque finish. Available in either 304 or 316L stainless steel.
• Requirements: PBSC can customise the panel to fit a specific cleanroom requirement, including adjusting it to fit the thickness of your finished wall.
