A Nebraska based ingredient manufacturer over the past decade has transitioned from animal processing to manufacturing pharmaceutical grade ingredients providing the highest quality enzymes, proteins, and flavors. They offer over 400 products to the US and 25 countries used in human and pet nutrition, food processing, and other industries. In order to meet all the strict requirements of the FDA, USDA, EPA, EU cGMP, and other regulatory standards guidelines, they had to redesign and modernize many areas of their facility. The physical transformation occurred in phases where they separated general health products and operations from active pharma ingredients (API’s).

The Vice President of Engineering explains that the jump to API’s required significant research in the manufacturing processes, quality control, manufacturing equipment, and facilities requirements. He identified a variety of companies that provided a consultative approach to assist in this transformation and ASI Doors was selected to provide door solutions. He regarded ASI Doors as the company that was well-positioned with experience and expertise in clean room door solution applications and was impressed with the quality of ASI’s craftsmanship, door seal-ability, and the fact that “complex door systems are made simple” by ASI.

These are some of the door system requirements the Vice President of Engineering noted as critical to their operations.

The doors ability to hold up to use of caustic cleaning chemicals
Durability and low maintenance
Door systems that are able to maintain various pressures, humidity levels, and temperatures
Flush window systems that are easily cleaned
