Glossary to define terms related to high performance industrial doors
1968
Bernt Manns, an engineer at the paper machine clothing plant discovered an ingenious new use for the fabrics manufactured there.
He designed a door with a fabric panel that would rapidly roll up and down quickly sealing the door’s opening.
He put this drawing together …..
A unique counterbalance system kept the door closed tight and made for remarkably smooth operation. This groundbreaking technology produced a door that could open and close faster than any other industrial-use door in history.
….. with the drawing of the idea how to balance the door, this was the first step toward the invention of the Rapid Roll doors.
This door was delivered in September 1975 and is still running today.
The first high speed doors entered the North American market in the early 80’s
The following slides will discuss high speed industrial door benefits
High Speed Doors improve on traditional doors by adding new elements of functionality.
higher speeds

Applications
In selecting a high speed door
the basic choices are:
high speed metal
high speed fabric doors
High speed rubber doors
Separate work areas:
dividing the interior of an industrial building into separate zones is vital. They effectively reduce the transmission of dust, sound, and heat or cold from one area to another.
Reduce transmission of contaminants
Conserve environmental conditions
Save heating and/or cooling costs
Minimize sound transfer
Improve material flow
Increase productivity. with fast opening and closing speeds high performance industrial doors help to expedite material flow through the door opening. Products move from zone to zone more quickly improving workplace productivity.
High Performance Doors can be designed to divide the machinery in working areas within a manufacturing process enhancing safety and improving work flow. These types of doors are often built for food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, transportation manufacturing, or any industry where assembly lines and machine protection are vital to the manufacturing process.
Exterior openings require a rugged and reliable door. High Performance Doors are engineered with heavy duty steel and/or aluminum components, strong door panels, and superior drive and control systems. These doors can be applied in a wide variety of exterior applications that call for frequent in and out traffic and/or secured access.
High-cycle life
Keep out harsh conditions
Save heating and/or cooling costs
Improve material flow
Increase productivity
Enhance security
