Clarke Instruments have recently installed another double stainless-steel turnstile for a south-coast food manufacturer’s facility.

The customer relies heavily on agency workers to cover peak periods and holiday periods. Although they had access control equipment fitted workers had started coming in in groups, one person swiping their card to release the entrance doors for all members of the group. This posed security and health and safety concerns.

The Company contacted Clarke Instruments to discuss possible solutions. Which lead to a site survey resulting in the removal of the existing entrance doors and their replacement with a double turnstile.

Being a food facility, stainless steel was proposed and this recommendation was accepted by the company.

Using their existing access control, the turnstile was configured one walkway for entry and one walk way for exit. In the event of fire or power failure both walkways would free wheel for exit. This was accomplished with Clarke’s standard built in fire alarm relay and a spur from their access control linked to the standard in built auxiliary power supply.

An order was placed for Clarke to supply and install on a strict time schedule of 6 weeks. Due to the limited size of the external entrance the turnstile was delivered in a flat pack format on the agreed date and was erected and commissioned on the same day.

Clarke Instruments are proud of their reputation for supplying robust reliable long-lived products at very realistic prices.
