PVC fast rolling shutter doors are suitable for a wide range of environments, including logistics warehouses, large supermarkets, food processing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and traditional manufacturing industries.

Zipper High Speed Door

The zipper high speed door is designed specifically for indoor use. Its unique design provides better sealing. It requires very little space to protect your environment from drafts, moisture, dust, and insects. The PVC zipper door is equipped with an automatic repair system. If something hits the door while it's in operation, the tensioned curtain absorbs the impact and detaches from the side tracks without damage. During the next open/close cycle, the PVC zipper high speed door will automatically repair itself. This unique feature helps the PVC zipper fast door resist collisions without breaking, reducing downtime and maintenance. Additionally, the zipper high speed rolling door operates at high speed, offers excellent insulation and sealing, improves traffic flow, creates a more comfortable working environment, and significantly saves energy.

Aluminum High Speed Door

The aluminum high speed door is a new type of metal industrial door that combines efficiency, insulation, energy-saving, security, wind resistance, and environmental protection. It can open at speeds of up to 1.8 meters per second. This door offers fast, reliable performance, space-saving design, energy efficiency, and high safety. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, especially in areas with large door openings and security requirements, where frequent, high-speed passage is needed. It meets the high-performance needs of logistics and clean environments. This type of aluminum alloy hard fast rolling door is widely used in the automotive industry, underground garages, automated parking systems, the pharmaceutical industry, and other industrial sectors.

Fire-rated Door

Fire doors are mainly used to stop the spread of fire and smoke. There are various types, including fire-rated rolling doors, fire-rated industrial doors, and fire-rated sliding doors. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial building pathways.

Rolling Shutter Door

Steel Rolling Shutter Door

Steel rolling doors are mainly divided into insulated and non-insulated rolling doors. Insulated rolling doors use 95mm slats made of double-layer color steel filled with polyurethane foam, offering insulation, heat resistance, and soundproofing. They are widely used in industrial workshops, garages, and commercial stores. Non-insulated rolling doors use single-layer 95mm steel slats. Compared to insulated roller shutter doors, they are more affordable, making them a cost-effective option.

Aluminum Rolling Shutter Door

Aluminum alloy rolling doors use high-quality aluminum alloy slats, typically available in 77mm and 100mm sizes. Compared to steel rolling doors, aluminum alloy doors offer excellent corrosion and rust resistance, making them ideal for humid, coastal, and high-salt environments.

Windproof Rolling Shutter Door

Windproof rolling shutter doors mainly consist of slats, wind-resistant wheels, wind tracks, and opening mechanisms. The inner layer of the slats is made of polyurethane foam, which offers advantages like wind resistance, insulation, heat resistance, soundproofing, and an attractive appearance compared to regular slats. Wind-resistant wheels are installed at both ends of the slats, allowing them to move within the wind tracks when opening and closing. When wind pressure is applied, the wheels hold the slats in place to prevent them from derailing, providing wind resistance. These windproof rolling shutter doors are widely used in various types of workshops and warehouses.

Hangar Door

Hangar doors are a type of special door designed to store large mobile equipment, such as airplanes, helicopters, and private jets. They are easy to operate, highly durable, and safe. These doors make it convenient to move large equipment in and out.

Sliding Hangar Door

Sliding hangar doors move in a straight line along a horizontal track. These aircraft hangar doors are designed with a weight-bearing bottom and guiding top structure. A single-plane hangar can have two setups: with or without a storage area for the doors. Multi-plane hangars usually do not have a storage area. When the sliding doors open, multiple panels overlap on either side of the opening. 

The sliding hangar door panels have a steel frame, and the opening mechanism uses an integrated electromechanical system with PLC variable frequency control. Limit switches use non-contact photoelectric sensors, and there are sound and light alarms during operation. The industrial sliding doors stop automatically if they encounter an obstruction, and they can be switched to manual mode during a power outage. These sliding doors are mainly used in aircraft hangars, large shipyards, and big industrial workshops.

Fabric Upper Folding Hangar Door

Fabric upper folding hangar doors, also known as soft curtain stacking doors, are made of wide soft curtains that can be raised or lowered in single or multiple sections. PVC upper folding door consist of various parts, including columns, tracks, upper and lower beams, curtain frames, curtains, pulleys, lifting mechanisms, safety devices, and control systems. The upper beam and curtain frame are made of high-quality steel, while the curtain is made of high-strength PVC. 

When the lifting mechanism operates, a steel cable pulls the lower beam up, stacking the curtain frame and curtain on the lower beam. Once in place, it is held by a limit switch. When the lifting mechanism moves in reverse, the lower beam descends to close the door. A limit switch on the pulleys prevents the door from dropping if the steel cable breaks. 

The control uses PLC variable frequency control, allowing for smooth start and stop. These fabric upper folding hangar doors are mainly suitable for shipyards, large workshops, and aircraft hangars.

Folding Hangar Door

Folding hangar doors are made up of multiple folding sections that can fold like the pages of a book. These folding doors are easy to use, open quickly, offer good sealing, and are affordable. They are a cost-effective choice for hangar doors, suitable for situations that require a large opening.

Around the Corner Sliding Hangar Door

Around the corner sliding hangar doors move along straight and curved tracks. These side-folding hangar doors can open by turning to one side or both sides, making use of space on either side and saving internal space. They are widely used in shipyards, small hangars, helicopter hangars, and large warehouses.

Conclusion

In summary, different types of industrial doors have their own advantages and disadvantages, as well as specific applications. When choosing an industrial door, it's important to select the right product based on your environment and requirements.
