High-speed doors for efficient and secure logistics

Industrial logistics requires greater speed, efficiency, and control. In this context, high-speed doors become a strategic tool to optimise internal flows, protect sensitive areas, reduce operating costs, and guarantee the safety of people and products. Ferroflex, with its extensive experience in solutions for industrial environments, offers a variety of high-speed doors designed to meet the particular needs of each industrial environment.

These environments face multiple challenges. For example, they must facilitate business continuity between different areas, ensure the safety of people, maintain thermal insulation and hygiene in critical areas, control access in restricted spaces, and minimise energy losses caused by constant openings, including the need for durable systems that withstand the intensive pace of daily work and integrate with plant automation solutions.

Tailor-made solutions to optimise the logistics of industrial buildings

Ferroflex responds to these challenges with solutions for multiple scenarios. In areas of frequent passage, high-speed roll-up doors such as the aluminium high-speed door for interior areas, the reinforced aluminium high-speed roll-up door, and the steel high-speed roll-up door allow for fast opening and closing times that promote sectorisation, minimum waiting time, and a continuous flow of people, goods, and machinery.

In circuits with automated lines, Ferroflex has a high-speed door designed to be integrated into these environments – it is the high-speed roll-up door for automated production lines, which helps to maintain the operational rhythm, keep to the schedule, and reinforce the safety of people. Thanks to its high opening and closing speed, customisation with materials resistant to welding, cuts, and impacts, and compliance with regulations that meet the performance level requirements of EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL3 EN 62061, this door guarantees high performance and effective protection for both processes and personnel close to the line.

Another model for uninterrupted logistics is self-repairing high-speed doors. Their curtain slides out of the tracks in the event of small impacts, for example, when a vehicle passes through. Thanks to a lateral rail system, when the door is elevated, the curtain slides back into the tracks and returns to its original configuration and operation. Ferroflex presents two models of this type: the self-repairing high-speed door and the self-repairing door for conservation areas, the latter suitable for cold areas down to -5 degrees.

Moreover, all doors can be customised with equipment to improve daily operations. Depending on the model, windows can be incorporated for visual supervision without the need for opening, as well as UPS systems to guarantee operation in the event of power cuts, remote controls, or screen-printed signs on the canvas to guide the internal circulation of operators.

Finally, to ensure the optimum performance of all these solutions, preventive maintenance such as that offered by Ferroflex plays a key role. Periodically checking the condition of high-speed doors makes it possible to anticipate possible incidents, avoid unplanned stoppages, and extend the useful life of the equipment. In intensive logistics environments, keeping high-speed doors in perfect condition is essential to ensure operational continuity and safety.
