FAQS

WHAT ARE HIGH SPEED DOORS?

1. High-speed doors are specialized doors designed to open and close rapidly, improving workflow efficiency, high traffic entry ways and maintaining environmental controls.

2. High speed doors are also known as high performance doors, rapid rise doors, rapid roll doors, fast acting doors, energy efficient doors, cold storage doors and industrial pvc doors.

3. Unlike traditional doors, these operate at significantly higher speeds, reducing the time they remain open and thereby minimizing energy loss—a critical feature for controlled environments like clean rooms.

4. However, speed is not their only benefit. These doors are equipped with advanced safety features and are built to be durable, capable of withstanding the harsh conditions typical of industrial use.

5. AUTO MOSSA High Speed doors are meticulously designed to be enduring of the harsh industrial conditions and; to be easily repairable to save our customers down time and costs of replacement. Check out our product profile on ArchiPro.

HOW DO HIGH-SPEED DOORS WORK?

1. These doors operate using advanced motor systems and sensors to ensure quick and smooth operation, often controlled by automated systems.

2. High Speed Doors are specialized doors designed to open and close quickly, improving workflow efficiency, enhancing security, and maintaining temperature control.

3. Self-repairing doors are engineered with a knock out relocator function to automatically reinsert themselves into their side guides if they become dislodged. This feature significantly reduces downtime, making them idea for high-traffic areas where the doors are frequently bumped or hit.

WHAT INDUSTRIES PRIMARILY USE HIGH-SPEED DOORS?

1. Common industries include manufacturing, warehousing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and automotive sectors.

2. High speed doors are safer entryway options for many logistics and processing operations with high traffic. They are engineered for fast open and close, allowing people and equipment to move quickly through an opening.

3. High speed doors have a range of applications that benefit operational efficiency and safety as well as cold chain efficiency in temperature-controlled applications.

4. The fast open/close cycle of high-speed doors facilitates smoother logistical flows. This is particularly beneficial in businesses where material handling and transport are priorities.

WHAT MATERIALS ARE HIGH-SPEED DOORS MADE FROM?

1. The door curtains are typically made from durable materials like woven PVC while the frames are built with aluminium, and steel to withstand high usage and harsh conditions of industrial settings.

2. Automations require motors, sensors and controls. We offer a range of additional options from the knockout relocator, laser sensors and manual emergency stops.

3. PVC high-speed doors are ideal for indoor applications where temperature control and noise reduction are essential. They are lightweight, easy to operate, and offer visibility through transparent sections if specified.

HOW DO HIGH-SPEED DOORS IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY?

1. Insulated high-speed doors are specifically engineered to maintain consistent temperatures within a facility. They are widely used in industries such as cold storage, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. These doors are highly energy-efficient, contributing to significant reductions in energy costs.

2. Our doors are energy-efficient, and fast, minimising heating and cooling loss. We offer a range of features from wind-resistant to specialty insulation, further enhancing their energy-saving capabilities.

3. Our Hyperfreeze curtain has an R-4 insulation rating, the highest on the market, designed to improve cold chain efficiency and maintain temperatures down to -30 degrees. By minimizing the time these doors are open, they reduce air exchange, helping to maintain temperature control and reduce energy costs.

WHAT IS THE INSULATION RATING FOR INDUSTRIAL FREEZER DOORS?

1. The insulation rating for industrial freezer doors is typically measured by the R-value, which indicates the door’s resistance to heat flow.

2. PVC freezer doors are commonly used in industrial settings due to their durability and insulation properties. For PVC freezer doors, the R-value can range up to R-40, depending on the specific design and insulation used. This high R-value helps maintain the low temperatures required in freezer environments, ensuring energy efficiency and optimal performance.

3. Our Hyperfreeze curtain has an R-4 insulation rating, the highest on the market, designed to improve cold chain efficiency and maintain temperatures down to -30 degrees.

ARE HIGH-SPEED DOORS SAFE?

1. Designed with safety in mind, these doors feature motion sensors, obstacle detection, intuitive signalling technology and a soft bottom edge to reduce injury and damage to stock or equipment. These features are beneficial to minimising operational risks, especially in hazardous and high traffic areas.

2. PVC high-speed doors are ideal for indoor applications such as warehouses and logistics centres. They are lightweight, easy to operate, and offer visibility through transparent sections if specified.

WHAT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED FOR HIGH-SPEED DOORS?
