Pharma firm specifies high speed doors
To counter rising fuel bills, a pharmaceutical company in Luton installed two Delta Speed 6030 doors from Enerco.
The client wanted to reduce heat loss through the doors while controlling the temperature and environment inside the building to ensure their personnel were comfortable. A slow moving sectional door were constantly left open to allow for the passage of their forklift loading vehicles with their product but this also meant heat was being let out and the employees were cold.
Enerco were consulted and awarded the contract to supply two Delta Speed 6030 high speed doors. The door was mounted internally immediately behind the existing insulated door. Mounted on its own steel frame and sealed to the existing structure to prevent heat loss the door is operated by induction loops. The door automatically opens on the approach of the forklift, times out and automatically closes providing the doorway is clear of obstruction.
Safety is paramount with all Enerco installations and in this instance the door is equipped with the soft edge fail safe leading edge. This facility offers the ability for the door to be crashed out by forklifts without the cost for replacement bent bottom rails. In the event the door is hit or encounters an object during its closing cycle, the leading edge flexes, the optotronic photocells detect the obstruction and stop the door. The door is reset and returned to operation in seconds. In addition, photocells are constantly monitoring the doorway to sense any obstruction.
With the door opening and closing quickly the heat savings using Delta Speed will be substantial. Enerco provides a payback analysis for all of its customers and usually clients see a return on their investment within 6-24 months.
The door is backed by a full 24 month warranty on all parts and labour subject to the door being serviced under a service contract taken out at the time of installation.
