Design requirements
EFAFLEX S Series high-speed spiral doors are designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments requiring durability, security, and energy efficiency. Ideal for applications such as logistics centers, manufacturing facilities, parking systems, and temperature-controlled spaces, these doors enhance workflow, environmental separation, and security. With robust construction, they integrate seamlessly into structural frames, automation systems, and exterior façades. Models like the ISO-60 and Secure (RC 3/RC 4) provide superior insulation and security for sensitive areas. When specifying for exterior use, consider environmental factors like wind exposure, moisture, and temperature fluctuations to select the appropriate variant.
Installation requirements
EFAFLEX S Series doors should be installed by qualified technicians experienced in high-speed industrial doors. Installation involves securely mounting the frame, connecting and testing electrical components, and calibrating sensors. Adherence to manufacturer instructions, correct tool usage, and precise alignment are essential to prevent operational issues. Installation should take place in stable temperature and humidity conditions to avoid misalignment or material expansion. Ensuring proper calibration of sensors and components minimizes performance issues and maintains safety in temperature-sensitive applications.
Maintenance requirements
Preventative maintenance is suggested in accordance with Efaflex’s maintenance schedules to ensure durability and optimal performance. Recommended tasks include regular visual inspections, cleaning, and checks on wear-sensitive parts like seals and sensors. Adjustments to door tension and recalibration of automation features help prevent issues in high-use environments. Key components, such as springs, electrical connections, and safety edges, should be inspected periodically, with replacements as necessary to maintain longevity and functionality. Efaflex can recommend a qualified contractor to perform these tasks and keep detailed records to support NZBC Clause B2 compliance and ensure reliable door operation.
