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. Crash doors with heavy duty panels

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.

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.
