The importance of including high-speed doors in every industrial building project

The building of industrial environments has evolved in parallel with the sector’s new requirements: greater efficiency, automation, sustainability, and safety. This change has transformed both construction systems and access. Traditional manual doors or gates have given way to fast, safe, and technologically advanced solutions that allow the pace of work to be maintained and each operational phase to be optimised. Thus, high-speed doors have become essential in any industrial construction project, and Ferroflex offers solutions to adapt to every need.

High-speed doors play a key role in the design of industrial buildings, logistics centres, and warehouses. They must adapt to complex logistical routes, sectorise space, guarantee the isolation of certain areas, comply with safety and environmental regulations, and facilitate frequent access for machinery and people without interruption. The challenge today is to integrate solutions that combine speed, durability, environmental control, and automation with the particular needs of each access.

High-speed doors adapted to every industrial need.

In order to meet all these challenges and optimise industry operations, it is essential to include specific access solutions in each construction project from the beginning. In this regard, Ferroflex is involved from the initial planning stage, thanks to its comprehensive service that includes technical advice, customised manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. In addition, it works with BIM methodology together with the architectural and engineering teams of the projects. This early collaboration makes it possible to choose the most appropriate solution for each step, to anticipate possible interferences, and to guarantee an implementation without surprises.

As for the models offered by Ferroflex, these include doors specifically designed for industrial environments of all kinds. In sectors such as the food industry, where maintaining the cold chain is crucial, high-speed doors for preservation chambers (down to 0°C) and cold rooms (down to -30°C) allow the smooth flow of personnel and machinery without compromising the temperature. In environments such as pharmaceuticals or electronics, where hygiene and environmental control conditions are extreme, the high-speed door for laboratories and cleanrooms, certified with class 5 air permeability, prevents the entry of contaminating particles and keeps pressure under control.

In industries with high safety requirements, such as the chemical or metallurgical industry, Ferroflex offers solutions that protect both people and installations. The door for ATEX zones guarantees sectorisation in explosive atmospheres type II 2.g, and the EI120 fire curtain door provides fire resistance for at least 120 minutes. Ferroflex has a specific high-speed door for industries with automated production lines that also acts as a barrier against projections or impacts. In the logistics sector, doors such as aluminium high-speed and steel doors allow interior spaces to be divided without slowing down the flow of goods. At the same time, solutions for loading points optimise the connection between industry and distribution.

Finally, the personalisation of doors is another important factor to be taken into account in any industrial building, and Ferroflex also provides the answer. One or more transparent or micro-perforated windows of various proportions can be installed in the doors to facilitate visibility or the passage of light through them. Customisation makes it possible to adapt the door to the dimensions of the space, lacquer the frames in specific colours, screen print the panels with logos or signs, add opening systems, sensors, and other accessories that integrate them into their functional and aesthetic context. In short, designing customised access and taking care of every detail allows us to build industrial environments that are safer, more efficient, and aligned with the needs of the production process.
