What are the methods for maintaining airtight doors?


Airtight doors, as specialized doors that combine airtightness, sound insulation, thermal insulation, pressure resistance, dustproofing, fireproofing, and radiation protection, are widely used in environmentally demanding environments, such as hospital operating rooms, food processing plants, and industrial plants. To ensure long-term stable operation and extend their service life, implementing a systematic and standardized maintenance plan is crucial. Here are a few key maintenance points:

What are the methods for maintaining airtight doors?

1. Daily Cleaning and Surface Maintenance

Daily cleaning is the foundation of maintenance. Regularly clean the door leaf surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and stains. If a neutral detergent is used, immediately wipe away any remaining moisture with a dry cloth to prevent moisture from corroding the door or internal components, potentially causing rust or paint damage. Also, keep the door's surroundings, especially the floor guide rails, clean. Remove accumulated dust and debris promptly, and ensure the sensor lens is clear to avoid affecting its sensitivity and causing malfunctions.


2. Proper Use and Anti-Impact and Scratch Prevention

During use, strictly avoid impacting the door leaf with heavy objects or scratching the surface with sharp objects. Violent impacts can deform the door, damaging its delicate structure and widening the sealing gap between the door leaf, door frame, and floor, seriously compromising airtightness. Surface scratches damage the protective layer, not only affecting aesthetics but also potentially reducing the material's corrosion resistance.


3. Regular Inspection and Lubrication of Key Moving Components

The smooth operation of airtight doors depends on the proper coordination of moving components such as the guide rails and ground wheels. It is recommended to establish a regular inspection schedule to check the guide rails for deformation and dust accumulation, and the ground wheels for wear and smooth operation. Regularly applying a dedicated lubricant to the guide rails and transmission components can effectively reduce operating noise and component wear, eliminate potential malfunctions, and ensure smooth opening and closing of the door.


4. Regularly Clean the Internal Chassis and Safely Isolate the Power Supply

Over time, dust accumulates within the electromechanical enclosure of an airtight door, affecting the heat dissipation and proper operation of internal electrical components (such as the motor and controller). Regular cleaning of the interior of the chassis is essential. Before doing so, ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected. When safe to do so, carefully remove dust using a blower or soft-bristled brush to ensure the door maintains optimal performance throughout subsequent use.


Careful maintenance of airtight doors is crucial to ensuring their core functionality and creating a safe and efficient environment.
