Speed Roll high-speed door (self-repairing) for cold rooms and high-turnover areas

The Speed Roll high-speed door is the high-speed, low-heat-loss solution for cold room access with heavy traffic. Its flexible PVC curtain rolls onto a top drum at high speed (up to 1.5-2 m/s opening and closing), minimising opening time and drastically reducing heat losses compared with conventional doors. The self-repairing version automatically recovers its shape after an accidental impact, with no need for technical intervention.

Technical specifications

  • Type: high-speed roll-up curtain door with self-repairing option
  • Opening speed: 1.5-2 m/s (closing: 0.5-1 m/s)
  • Reinforced PVC curtain, translucent (with visibility) or opaque
  • Guide rail system with flexible anti-jamming profile
  • Self-repairing version: the curtain comes out of the rail on impact and returns to position on its own
  • Geared motor with frequency inverter for smooth starting and stopping
  • Presence sensor (radar or photocell) for automatic opening
  • Control panel with manual and automatic modes

Advantages

✔ Up to 70% reduction in heat losses compared with conventional doors
✔ Ultra-fast opening that eliminates waiting and increases productivity
✔ Self-repairing version: no breakages or production stoppages from accidental impacts
✔ Quiet and vibration-free for a comfortable working environment
✔ Integration with access control and warehouse logistics systems

Applications

Main access to high-traffic cold rooms; passages between areas at different temperatures in processing plants; food distribution logistics warehouses with continuous forklift traffic; clean rooms and contamination-controlled areas.

Standards and compliance

Motorised high-speed doors comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and must include approved safety edges or anti-trapping safety sensors. CE marking is mandatory. The installation must comply with the Spanish Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation (REBT) for the motor and control electrical circuit.

FAQs

How much energy does a high-speed door save compared with a conventional door?

Technical studies by high-speed door manufacturers indicate savings of 40% to 70% in heat losses at the doorway, depending on the number of daily opening cycles, the temperature difference between areas and how long the door stays open. In freezer rooms with more than 50 cycles a day, the payback on a high-speed door can be less than 2 years.

What happens if a forklift hits the high-speed door?

In the self-repairing version, the curtain comes out of the side guide rails on impact (without breaking) and automatically returns to position when the door goes up and down again. This system eliminates repair time and corrective maintenance costs from accidental impacts, which are inevitable in warehouses with forklift traffic.
