For DHLʼs logistics warehouse EFAFLEX supplied four SST US Classic doors. The SST Classic range is designed for demanding industrial environments with double-walled aluminium door leaves, opening speeds of up to 2m per second and closing speeds of up to 1m per second. At Air New Zealandʼs Hangar 3 EFAFLEX supplied two Next Generation SSTL Classic Premium doors. The Next Generation range builds on the companyʼs established spiral-door technology providing increased performance, durability and flexibility. EFAFLEX pioneered high-speed spiral door technology and has continued developing the principle for industrial applications. Rather than winding the door leaf around a shaft its spiral-shaped guiding system keeps the door leaf separated as it opens allowing the doors to operate quietly and reducing wear. “We are the world market leader in high-speed industrial doors. This is achieved thanks to innovative engineering that promises highest reliability, efficiency, durability and safety,ˮ says Brian. The Next Generation range uses a modular design with four door types available in Premium, Eco and Basic variants. Brian says this allows doors to be configured for different operational requirements. The Premium model is designed for up to 500,000 operating cycles per year and has integrated safety features including a door line light grid and spring-break detection in both frames. Brian says that for an airport environment, high-speed operation can also help minimise the time a large opening remains exposed to external conditions. EFAFLEX doors are used across industrial and commercial applications where traffic flow, safety and durability are key considerations. Founded in Germany in 1974, EFAFLEX specialises in high-speed industrial doors and has developed a range covering spiral, roll-up, folding, clean-room, freezer and machine-protection applications. The family-owned company now has 1,600 employees worldwide and operates across 74 countries. Research and development forms an important part of its approach to product development. EFAFLEX also provides installation, maintenance and repair services, with its service programme designed to support customers throughout the working life of its door systems. “Whether the highest wind load, high insulation requirements or enormous durability EFAFLEX doors solve every challenge as at their core is the high-speed spiral door technology we invented, which remains unrivalled to this day.ˮ 0800 327 767 www.tdmelectrical.co.nz / admin@tdmelectrical.co.nz COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL • ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
