Frequently Asked Questions
What is a high speed door?
A high speed door is an industrial door designed for rapid opening and closing, typically achieving speeds of up to 4 metres per second. They are engineered for durability and reliability, essential for buildings requiring frequent and rapid access for vehicles and personnel. EFAFLEX specialises in these doors, offering Spiral and Fabric variations.
How does a high speed door work?
High speed doors operate using a combination of motors, sensors, and mechanical components. The door is powered by an electric motor, which drives the door's mechanism. Sensors detect the presence of vehicles or personnel, triggering the door to open or close automatically. The door's design allows it to achieve speeds of up to 4 metres per second, making it one of the fastest industrial doors available.
What are the benefits of using EFAFLEX high speed doors?
EFAFLEX high speed doors offer numerous benefits, including rapid opening and closing speeds, improved energy efficiency, enhanced security, and reduced maintenance costs. They are designed for durability and reliability, making them ideal for buildings requiring frequent and rapid access for vehicles and personnel.
Which industries choose EFAFLEX?
EFAFLEX high speed doors are trusted by companies across various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and cleanroom environments. Their durability and reliability make them ideal for buildings requiring frequent and rapid access for vehicles and personnel.
What kind of support and services does EFAFLEX offer?
EFAFLEX offers comprehensive support and services, including installation, maintenance, and repairs. They also provide flexible service and maintenance packages, tailored to your specific needs.
Energy Loss Statistics
For a single 4x4 metre sectional door, energy loss adds up to 5 kilowatt hours (equivalent to approximately 0.2 Therms US) to compensate for heat loss from door openings. The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP scientifically validated these measurements, confirming that energy loss increases significantly when multiple industrial doors are opened on different axes of a building. (1)
Service Load Impact
In cold storage facilities, energy loss through doors contributes to the 'service load', which accounts for approximately 10% of the total heat load from other sources (heat conduction, field heat, and heat of respiration). This service load includes heat from warm air infiltration when doors are opened and heat entering through faulty door gaskets. (1)
Potential Energy Savings
Research shows that buildings with well-insulated and fast closing doors can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 30% annually. High-performance rolling doors can cut energy costs by up to 30% each year compared to traditional industrial doors. (2)
Cold Storage Efficiency
At a major food production and distribution facility in Chicago, US, high-speed doors reduced energy consumption by 40% whilst minimising operating time on refrigeration systems. (3)
Air Exchange Reduction
High-performance doors with opening speeds of up to 2500mm per second significantly minimise air infiltration into refrigerated and frozen food processing areas. (4)
