Fast Doors for Safety

01 Apr 2022

Traditional industry entrances do not provide the necessary protection for today’s volatile security landscape. Normal rolling shutters do not mitigate tailgating and piggybacking even when used in conjunction with access control devices. As a result, high speed doors are growing in popularity due to their ability to effectively control access while creating a clear trail which is ideal for regulated industries.

Prime Metallic’s high speed door is the unsung hero of the warehousing facilities for any industry. Their top speeds combined with top security protects against unwanted burglars. These doors provide a variety of applications which includes internal use as a partition between two rooms and external use as a secure hall closing door. The door also ensures environmental separation, energy efficiency and time efficiency leading to hastening the logistics process.

The characteristics
Prime Metallic door’s fast opening and closing speeds sharply reduce the potential for tailgating, piggybacking or people on foot sneaking in through the doorway. An inbuilt inverter motion system can adjust different speeds with progressive control of acceleration and deceleration during braking. High-speed doors also reduce the potential for accidents by material handling equipment. The door’s opening speed is 2.5 m/s and closing speed is 0.5 m/s.

Prime Metallic doors include double-skinned aluminium alloy, anodised with 40 mm polyurethane foam insulation. It is designed to provide sturdiness when closed and also gives better separation between different working areas, characterised by a thermal intensity or intended for different uses. The door reduces leakage of heat and air, providing thermal insulation.

Contactless operation of the door leaf prevents its surfaces from being scratched and the optional transparent vision laths remain transparent even after extensive use. Additional features include the capacity to withstand wind pressure of Class IV subject to standard EN 12424.

In high traffic environments, these doors maintain a smooth flow of material handling equipment in and out of the warehouses while ensuring building security. The doors are designed with minimal maintenance with energy efficient motors and self-diagnostic controllers to ensure trouble-free, efficient operation, day in and day out.
