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.

Owning it after the install

The part most brands go quiet about

Serviceability, spare-parts speed, and who actually answers the phone decide your year-five maintenance budget more than the spec sheet does. Here is how buying manufacturer-direct changes it.

US-assembled in Brooklyn

Built and commissioned at our Brooklyn facility, not drop-shipped from a container. You get a domestic point of contact for the life of the unit.

Same-day US parts

Spare motors, boards, sensors and seals ship same-day from Brooklyn inventory: no customs hold, no import-parts risk when a European supply line goes dark.

Serviceable by design

Front-access panels and modular drives mean a tech reaches the controls without dismantling the whole lane. Standard hand tools, documented procedures.

A direct engineer in 24h

Manufacturer-direct support with no distributor layer. The people who build and program the hardware answer integration and service calls, typically within 24 hours.

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.
