Manufacturer segregates storage area from loading bay
Ravatherm UK, a manufacturer of extruded polystyrene (XPS) for the building trade, took on a Bulldoor from Union Industries.
The firm needed a robust solution for its Hartlepool-based warehouse. Union Industries installed the Bulldoor high speed door to the goods-out area to segregate it from a loading bay to help prevent dirt, dust, insects and other foreign bodies entering the storage area.
Union’s Bulldoor is designed for larger, high use internal openings, or average sized external openings. As well as improving working conditions, controlling temperatures and maintaining high hygiene standards, Bulldoors out in the field regularly complete in excess of one million cycles a year, says Union.
Ravatherm UK’s Bulldoor is operated automatically by radar motion sensor for forklift truck traffic.
David Noble, plant manager at Ravatherm UK says: “Previously, we’ve used other door manufacturers and have, unfortunately, had to pay out on more than one occasion to get them replaced. Union Industries has provided us with an excellent solution that exceeds our expectations.”
Steve Moultrie, technical sales engineer at Union Industries explains further: “Ravatherm’s warehouse staff need access to different departments quickly but without compromising segregated areas and the high levels of cleanliness that are required at all times. Fortunately, we’ve been able to provide Ravatherm UK with a robust solution, extremely fit for purpose. They have already expressed an interest in installing further doors in future.”
