Heavy duty rapid roll doors
Leading manufacturer of industrial rapid roll doors, Union Industries, has returned to Jotun Group to install a further three heavy duty Bulldoors at its Flixborough-based manufacturing facility.
The latest additions support Jotun Group’s new heating and ventilation system, which has been installed to eliminate fumes in the factory and make for a more pleasant working environment.
With the facility being accessed on a regular basis by both pedestrians and forklift trucks carrying pallets, the high speed doors will reduce environmental ingress and also allows for a consistent temperature to be maintained.
Two of Union’s doors have been fitted in ATEX zoned areas where only certified electronics can be used due to the explosive atmosphere created by Jotun’s production processes. Union’s photocell system was specifically chosen as the door’s activation method due to its ability to operate effectively, and safely within the hazardous area.
In common with the other doors in the range, the Bulldoor also features Union’s highly-regarded ‘Crash-Out & Auto-Reset’ damage protection facility, which ensures the door remains operable if the heavy duty steel composite bottom beam is hit by a vehicle.
