Automatic doors for where hygiene matters
The Record CLEAN series of automatic door models is said to be ‘ideal’ when the highest level of hygiene is required in healthcare facilities. Record explained: “These tightly closing single and double sliding doors support the maintenance of a sterile environment with their hermetic sealing and easy-to- clean qualities, and are particularly suited to operating theatres and cleanroom environments. With a wide variety of materials to choose from for the door cores, surface finishes, frame, and sealing system, specifiers can build on the basic Record CLEAN model to make it suitable for all kinds of applications.” Radiation protection from electrons,
X-rays, and gamma rays, can be achieved with the addition of a full-surface lead insert in the door leaf, on the inside of the frame profile, and on the plinth itself, and
‘Living and breathing’ washrooms
Venesta says that ‘after 120 years of innovation and design’, it ‘lives and breathes’ washrooms. The company said: “Our healthcare
there is a range of lead equivalent values to choose from. Record said: “With modified seals and
a heat-absorbing core, the basic CLEAN door becomes a certified smoke door control. Add fire-retardant core and additional intumescent seals and PVC cover to fulfil hygiene requirements, and this model becomes a fire door with combined smoke protection.”
‘Efficient, safer, and sustainable’
‘Efficient, safer, and sustainable’ was the message on the front cover of the 2020 Spirax Sarco Engineering Annual Report. The company said: “These three words truly embody the results Spirax Sarco has been helping steam users achieve for decades. One of these words is becoming especially prominent in all of our thoughts and many of our actions – ‘sustainability’ – a multi-faceted topic which now touches almost every aspect of our lives, and presents opportunities and challenges we must all work together to embrace. So, where and how does steam engineering fit with this, and how can Spirax Sarco help you?”
Steve Bishop, Business Development manager and Consultant specialist (pictured), said: “Sustainable steam generation has a vital role in delivering tomorrow’s thermal energy needs across healthcare and industry. I’m truly excited at the technologies becoming available to help achieve this, and the role Spirax Sarco is playing in developing these. There are, however, many things we can all do today to take some meaningful steps on that journey towards our own Net Zero goals. I hope this guide will offer some useful insight, promote some thoughts and ideas, and illustrate how Spirax Sarco is well-placed to take that journey in partnership with you.”
Robust fire protection equipment
Advanced says its fire protection equipment is ‘robust, reliable, and proven to meet the complex fire protection challenges healthcare settings pose’. It said: “Complicated sites with old and new buildings, many staff, and vulnerable patients, plus countless fire hazards, are just some of the complications to overcome. When choosing fire safety solutions, key considerations include the equipment’s effectiveness when networked across multiple departments, its ability to reduce false alarms and minimise disruption to critical services,
and how easily it will integrate with building management systems.” Advanced says its range of fire protection and emergency lighting solutions ‘assures safety’ in many hospitals, care homes, and clinics, both across the UK and worldwide. It added: “MxPro 5 fire panels (pictured is a user, Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester) are compatible with leading wired and wireless detector brands, configurable into robust networks of up to 200 panels, and feature flexible false alarm management configurable by building area to suit each site’s needs.
