Sanitary turnstiles for clinical and food-grade environments
Stainless steel turnstiles built to be wiped down, hosed off, and disinfected without degrading the finish. Designed for hospitals, labs, food production, and pharma.
Features
Why facilities choose our sanitary barriers
Antimicrobial AISI 316 Steel
Marine-grade stainless steel with inherent antimicrobial properties resists bacterial growth and corrosion from cleaning chemicals.
IP65 Washdown Capable
Fully sealed against water jets from any direction. Clean with hoses, pressure washers, and chemical sanitizers without risk.
Supports FDA/HACCP Environments
Designed for use in facilities operating under FDA and HACCP standards. Food-safe materials throughout with no contamination risk.
Smooth, Crevice-Free Design
No joints, seams, or hidden surfaces where bacteria can accumulate. Every surface is accessible for thorough sanitization.
RFID/Card Reader Integration
Supports RFID, proximity cards, and biometric readers. Tie into hygiene compliance systems for handwash or gowning verification.
Food-Safe Materials
Every component uses non-toxic, food-safe materials. Sealed electrical enclosures prevent any contamination of controlled environments.

Sanitary barrier FAQs
A sanitary barrier is a waist-high access control gate specifically engineered for hygiene-critical environments. Unlike standard turnstiles with joints, crevices, and hard-to-clean surfaces, sanitary barriers feature smooth, seamless construction from AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel with antimicrobial properties. They are IP65 rated for washdown cleaning and use food-safe materials throughout.
Our DT 590 sanitary barriers are designed for use in FDA/HACCP-regulated environments. They use food-safe, non-toxic materials, AISI 316 stainless steel with inherent antimicrobial properties, smooth crevice-free surfaces that prevent bacterial buildup, and IP65 waterproofing that allows direct washdown cleaning with sanitizing agents without risk of electrical damage. Note: the barriers are suitable for these environments but are not themselves FDA/HACCP certified products.
Yes. Gatestile sanitary barriers carry an IP65 rating, meaning they are fully protected against water jets from any direction. You can use standard washdown procedures with hoses, pressure washers, and chemical sanitizers without damaging the electronics or mechanical components.
