Overview
The cleanroom escape panel from PBSC serves as a quick and safe way to exit a cleanroom or containment-controlled environment. It is also commonly referred to as a breakout panel, service access panel, cleanroom door, escape door, BOP, or kick out panel. Additionally, it can be utilized as a removable window for equipment access routes during planned shutdowns.
The BOP, a part of PBSC’s architectural range, is designed for cleanroom use. Its flush design, minimal visible fixings, and high scratch and wear resistance make it an ideal choice.
While the unit offers low leakage rates, it is not fully airtight due to its sealed design.
The 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.
To comply with health and safety regulations in your facility, it is recommended to install break out panels.
Widely used in healthcare, medical research, and the pharmaceutical industry worldwide.
