Flexible Gate

Design conditions

• Wind resistance level: The standard wind pressure is 55kg/㎡, with a safety factor of 1.4, which means the maximum design wind pressure is 77kg/㎡.
• Rising speed: 6 meters per minute (approximately, speed depends on door size)
• The cord fabric has anti-aging and abrasion resistance
• The overall sealing performance of the door is good
• Double layer curtain insulation

Design scheme

• The main principle of pulling the door curtain up
• The traditional technique for using this type of door is the parallel horizontal double-layer stacking of segmented door curtains, with a total distance of approximately 300mm-700mm between the two door curtains
• Composition of door curtains
• The door curtain is composed of double-sided industrial belts (high polymer fiber biaxial woven fabric and PVC coated composite) and ribs; The ribs can be composed of steel frame structural beams and aluminum profile fasteners.
• This combination can ensure the wind resistance strength requirements of the door curtain under strong wind conditions, while reducing the weight of the door curtain, making it easy to operate. The principle of wind resistance is that the wind passes from the door curtain to the ribs, and then from the ribs to the building steel structure and ground.

Power system

The power system consists of a set of motors, reducers, and braking systems, and will use a dedicated motor for flexible doors.

 Control system

The control system consists of a motor control system and a motor overload protection system, all of which are integrated into one control box.

Security system

During the opening process or power outage, the braking system in the power system provides sufficient braking force to prevent the door curtain from slipping off on its own under any circumstances. The safety system of the sling has a strength of 5 times, and in the event of a sling breakage, it is equipped with an automatic hook anti fall system to effectively prevent the door from falling.

 Sealing system

• In order to effectively ensure the integrity of the sealing system, a brush seal is used between the door curtain and the sliding door cylinder.
• The main advantages of this product
• The system is safe and reliable, and in the event of a sling breakage, an anti fall protection system is used to prevent the door from falling.b) Adopting a dual wind resistant system.
• Adopting a multi-point lifting system.

 Safety & Protection: Multi-Layered Safeguards

Anti-Pinch & Obstacle Detection: Standard safety features include:

Infrared photoelectric sensors: Mounted on door sides or below, they stop the door from closing and trigger it to rise if an obstacle (person, cargo, or object) is detected.

Emergency stop & overload protection: The motor automatically shuts down if overloaded, and an emergency button cuts power to halt operation in crises.

Application scenarios:

• Industrial production and manufacturing scenarios
• Large factory/workshop entrances and exits: Especially suitable for high-frequency entry and exit channels in industries such as mechanical processing, automotive manufacturing, and heavy equipment production.
• Pipeline connection channel: Some production workshops need to set up channels between different process areas (such as semi-finished product transfer channels), and flexible gates can be opened through induction (radar/geomagnetic) to achieve “unmanned” passage, while isolating dust and odors from different areas (such as the separation between welding and assembly workshops).
• Logistics warehousing and cold chain scenarios
• Logistics warehousing center loading and unloading area: The cargo loading and unloading channels for e-commerce warehousing and third-party logistics usually have a large span (5-15 meters) and frequent traffic. The ungrounded design of flexible doors does not affect the entry and exit of forklifts and pallet trucks, and the good sealing performance reduces the temperature and humidity exchange between the warehousing area and the outside.
• Special environments and heavy work scenarios
• Port/Terminal Loading and Unloading Platform: The outdoor or semi outdoor loading and unloading areas of ports and terminals often face harsh environments such as strong winds, rain, salt spray, etc. The wind resistance load capacity of flexible gates (able to withstand 8-10 level gusts) and corrosion-resistant materials (salt spray resistant coating) can adapt to outdoor environments, while isolating sand and dust brought by sea winds and protecting loading and unloading goods (such as electronic equipment and precision instruments inside containers).
• Hangar/Large Equipment Storage Area: Small aircraft hangars and construction machinery equipment (such as excavators and cranes) storage areas require large-span doors. Flexible doors can achieve a span of over 20 meters through modular splicing, and are much lighter in weight than traditional steel structure doors. When opened, they do not occupy too much space, making it convenient for equipment to enter, exit, and park.
• Garbage disposal station/sanitation transfer station: Such places are prone to producing odors, dust, and sewage. The sealing design of flexible doors can isolate the spread of odors and reduce pollution to the surrounding environment; At the same time, the surface of the door is smooth and easy to clean, and can be rinsed with a high-pressure water gun to meet the hygiene requirements of garbage disposal.
• Public and special industry scenarios
• Temporary passages for large venues: Sports venues and exhibition centers may need to temporarily open large-span passages during events (such as audience evacuation and exhibit transportation). Flexible doors can be quickly installed and removed, and transparent windows (some styles with transparent PVC windows) can ensure natural lighting and enhance safety inside the passages.
• Chemical/Dust Workshop: The raw material storage workshop and dust operation workshop (such as flour processing and metal powder production) of chemical enterprises need to be explosion-proof and dustproof. The flame-retardant material (in accordance with GB 8624 flame retardant standard) and sealing structure of flexible doors can reduce dust leakage and lower safety hazards.
