The Hormann Group, a leading provider of a wide range of doors and gates based in Germany, has introduced Type V3009, a high-speed roller door with a flexible curtain, designed for a high number of automated opening and closing cycles.  

The Type V3009 can be fitted between the operating sections and the storage areas within a conveyor system, said the company in a statement.

Due to the low lateral space requirements, this door is specifically designed for integration in conveyor systems and their frequent automated opening and closing cycles, stated Hormann.

The door control can be integrated in existing PLC systems. A volt-free contact reports the door position (open / closed) to the control, it added.

Hormann, which is headquartered in Steinhagen, Germany, set up its own subsidiary at Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone in 2009 to cater to the entire Middle Eastern market and some parts of Africa region.

Speaking at the launch, Darius Khanloo, the managing director of Hormann Middle East, said: "Our high-speed doors are up to 20 times faster than conventional industrial doors, which is why the intelligent operator and control technology is designed for reliable continuous operation."

"Our new door Type V3009 is suitable for interior application, and its width and height are up to 3,500 mm and 3,500 mm respectively. The opening speed is 0.8 m/s and closing time is 0.8 m/s," explained Khanloo.

The door uses aluminium curtains, available in a variety of colours including zinc yellow, pure orange, carmine red, gentian blue and agate grey, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
