| Flexible
crash doors are the most practical and economical solution to heat
loss and noise pollution in the workplace. With the correct panel
and frame selection, flexible crash doors can provide a low maintenance,
low cost, answer to reducing the waste of energy that occurs in un-enclosed
areas without affecting speed of movement through these openings. |
|
 |
Flexible crash doors
are widely used in the following applications:
- Retail units and supermarkets
- Food preparation areas
- Hospitals
- Coldstores and cleanrooms
- Warehouses
- Industrial units and factories
- Postal sorting offices
Flexible doors are
favoured in these environments due to their durability, ease of use, minimal
maintenance and the concealed spring unit mechanism. A range of finishes
to the door framework is available to suit different environments. These
include powder coating electro-zinc plating and standard paint finishes.
Doors with stainless steel framework are also available.

lighter duty door than others in the range and has the panel fixings
concealed within the framework. Suitable for use on internal openings
with pedestrian, hand or light powered traffic on openings up to
2400mm wide x 2438mm high.

Manufactured from 43mm
o/d heavy wall mild steel steam tube, with a horizontal gusset plate
and vertical mild steel flats to hold the panel in position. Suitable
for us many applications, dependent on panel choice. They are ideal
for internal openings but can be used on semi-extemal/external openings
dependent on site conditions They allow access by pedestrian, hand
or powered traffic on openings up to 2400mm wide x 2600mm high.

Manufactured from 60mm
o/d heavy wall mild steel steam tube, with a horizontal gusset plate
and vertical mild steel flats to hold the panel in position. Suitable
for semi-external/external openings dependent on site conditions,
for use by pedestrian and powered traffic. Offering a heavier duty
construction than the Multiflex and Superflex these doors are suitable
for use on openings up to 3000mm wide x 3350mm high. N.B. On openings
above 2600mm wide the triangular gusset plates will be replaced

to 4000mm wide x 4000mm high and many extras are available to increase
the specification on the door framework and panels; i.e. horizontal

Automatic
Doors
|
Flexible doors of all specifications
can be operated automatically where desired. They are often used when
an optimum flow of traffic is required, for example in a busy warehouse
or production area.
Flexible doors are modified
for automatic operation in one direction. The direction must be specified
prior to order, but the doors are able to swing in both directions manually.
Flexible doors can be automated either pneumatically (air) or electrically.
Pneumatic
(Air) Operation
|
Pneumatic operation requires
an 80 psi air supply and a single phase 240 volt power supply terminated
within a fused isolator approximately one metre from the opening.
A feature re of having pneumatic flexible doors is that each leaf
has a separate cylinder so that opening and closing cycles can be
regulated independently, whereas, with the electric system there
is one motor that drives both leaves through a constant speed reduction
gear which cannot be varied.
|
|
 |
|
Electric
Operation
|
Electric operation requires
a 440 volt, 3 phase neutral & earth power supply terminated within
a fused isolator approximately one metre from the opening. In the
event of a power failure, the doors can still be used as conventional
'crash' doors as they are driven though the vertical spring unit
mechanism at the top of the door tube. Both systems are supplied
complete with a control panel which incorporates an adjustable timed
return facility that enables the doors to close automatically once
the desired stand open time has elapsed.
