Transparent high speed spiral door launches
Hörmann UK has announced the launch of its new transparent, high speed spiral doors, the HS5040 TurboLux and Turbolux S.
WITH A market-leading opening speed of up to 4 M/s, the TurboLux range combines high speed operation with optimised transparency, strength, and durability, making the doors ideal for demanding applications where efficiency and visibility are key.
The TurboLux range offers a pleasingly symmetrical and compact design, with transparent door laths manufactured from a clear, high-grade polycarbonate which provides high impact and breakage resistance. Providing 90% transparency, the door has been designed to maximise light and visibility, helping to reduce accidents, ensure smooth and efficient transport processes, and provide brighter working environments to improve operator conditions.
With TurboLux doors providing impressive opening speeds of up to 4 M/s and closing speeds of 1 M/s, operator safety is paramount. Situated within the side panels of the door is a light grille which monitors the door closing zone up to a height of 2500mm whilst a gentle soft-stop function stops the door in the event of an obstacle being detected.
Standard door sizes of up to 5000mm x 5000mm are achievable and offer an optional wind load resistance of Class 4, speeds of up to 133 km/h, making the Turbolux door suitable for both external and internal installation. Narrow side panels of 250mm result in a door that offers installation flexibility as it can be fitted into confined spaces, and to aid fast and efficient installation key components are supplied pre-assembled.
Hörmann UK industrial division manager Phil Thorpe, says: “We are excited about the launch of the Hörmann TurboLux, our new high speed, transparent spiral door – a door that has been designed using high-quality materials to ensure a long service life and the ability to stand up to the wear and tear of challenging working environments.
“Together with industry leading opening speeds and maximum visibility, TurboLux offers the market the chance to further speed up workflow processes and reduce energy costs. Once again Hörmann are supplying the market with a real difference, and we think we have produced a clear winner.”
