Safe industrial environments with high-speed roll-up doors

In any professional environment, people's safety is a priority. In industrial spaces, where the pace of work is fast and people work alongside machinery and various products, the risks are often higher. That is why at Ferroflex, we consider safety to be a fundamental pillar in the design of our high-speed roll-up doors, complying with the UNE 85635 standard for maintenance and use, presenting specific solutions for the most demanding environments.

All our high-speed and industrial doors incorporate safety systems to facilitate the movement of people, machinery and goods while preventing potential incidents. For example, the doors can include presence and obstacle detection sensors, which prevent the door from closing if there are people or objects in its path, or emergency stop systems to immediately interrupt its operation, in the event of any risk.

Below, we list four models specifically designed for situations in which safety must be reinforced.

Four high-speed doors for the most demanding environments

• High-speed door for laboratories and clean rooms. In sectors such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals and technology, this model maintains the sterile state of all the spaces it gives access to, minimising as much as possible cross-contamination and the spread of pathogens. Thanks to its class 5 air permeability and opening speed, the model prevents air and particle filtration between areas, helping to protect the processes carried out in these critical environments.

• High-speed roll-up door for automated production lines. In these environments, there is a high risk of impact from projections, welding debris, heat, or other factors. To protect people from these hazards, we have developed a high-speed door that is certified to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL3 EN 62061. Its curtain can be made from a range of materials suitable for different production lines, all of which are highly resistant. The door can also be integrated into the company's programmable logic controller (PLC).

• High-speed door with EI120 fire curtain. This model features two independent curtains in the same integrated head: one self-repairing and the other EI120 certified for fireproofing. If the fire alarm is activated, the fire curtain automatically unfolds, ensuring 120 minutes of flame and smoke containment. On the other hand, the self-repairing capacity of the other curtain also helps reduce incidents that may be caused by a door damaged by impacts and industrial activity.

• High-speed roll-up door for ATEX zones. Ferroflex has developed this high-speed door for explosive atmospheres (ATEX), environments where flammable gases, vapours or dust are concentrated. Due to its design and materials, the model is classified as Class II 2G under the European ATEX standard regulating these areas. Among other features, the door incorporates a motor that eliminates electrical hazards and an antistatic curtain fabric that prevents the accumulation of charges.

Ferroflex doors are equipped with accessories that enhance safety. In this way, our high-speed roll-up doors enable smooth traffic flow while prioritising people's safety thanks to a wide range of solutions that cater to all types of access points, from the most general to the most specialised
