• Managing one-way traffic flow in and out of processing areas.
• Integrating with boot washers and hand sanitisation stations for enhanced biosecurity.
• Restricting unauthorised entry to sensitive areas within a food processing plant.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput is typically managed by individual passage, allowing one person at a time.

Construction material

Units of this type are commonly constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Power supply

Electrically operated turnstiles commonly require a 230V single-phase power supply, though some may be purely mechanical.

Control mechanism

Control can be mechanical (push-bar), electro-mechanical (solenoid lock), or integrated with access control systems (card readers, biometric scanners).

Footprint

The footprint for a single turnstile typically ranges from 800mm x 800mm to 1200mm x 1200mm, depending on design.

Hygiene features

Designs commonly feature smooth surfaces and open frames to facilitate easy cleaning and prevent harborage points.
