High speed doors aim to increase productivity

Efficiency of the supply chain, combined with employee wellbeing and satisfaction, are seen as primary contributors to a productive workplace environment within manufacturing and storage facilities.

High speed roll up doors allow for rapid opening and closing and, together with the promise of a  longer operating life and high safety standards, provide customers with a potentially better return on investment as a result of faster turnaround times.

High speed doors aim to maintain a more controlled ambient temperature inside facilities by reducing excessive through-flow of warm or cold exterior air into the workspace. This, in turn, could increase energy efficiency, contribute to a greener footprint and promote employee comfort.  

In addition, due to the speed of operation of the doors, there is a potentially reduced influx of insects and other airborne contaminants that could negatively impact on both employee wellbeing and product quality.

The Apex range of high speed roll up doors incorporate a counterweighted balancing system that aims to ensure high standards of performance and safety while providing fast, semi-automatic reopening, to facilitate unhindered traffic flow.

The doors are designed to offer both functionality and performance, with the  actuator, controls, safety devices and balancing systems integrated into one unit for greater cost efficiency and a reduced footprint.

The company’s range of Traffic high speed folding doors vary in sizes up to 8 000 mm wide and
8 500 mm high, offering a solution for medium and large entrances, particularly where windy conditions are a factor, such as shipment and warehouse areas. The doors are constructed from self-extinguishing Class 2 fabric which aims to provide thermal insulation and wind resistance of up to 50 km per hour.

The door’s self-repairing curtain is designed to automatically reset on the first opening and closing operation after an accidental bump.

The selection of a suitable high speed door is dependent on the size of opening, frequency of opening and closing and the volume of vehicular traffic.
