In the logistics centers, production areas or distribution centers of our time, inefficient logistics has an influence on production process and affects the unit costs negatively. Forklift traffic, personnel and hand Pallet Trucks demand for doors at maximum efficiency and safety under minimal space expenditure and lowest energy costs. Of the available door systems on the market, primarily the sectional door has proved effective in highly-used industrial applications. We provide you with more than a door; rather we provide the engineering for your reliable, environmentally sound and smart entry. Seppes Door’s sectional doors are the engineered solution for high-intensified uses.
Superior Durability Engineered for Continuous Cycling
The biggest threat to a door that is to be used in an intensive and very busy facility is door cycling frequency . Normal roller shutter door with slim vertical laths for example will very quickly suffer from joint and slide damage due to fatigue and stress with every operation. The construction of the sectional overhead door with double-walled color-coated cold-rolled steel panels filling the interior with a highly insulated high-density core gives it huge structural integrity that will withstand any unintended impact from for example forklifts that are so common around loading bays. Seppes’ galvanized track systems and torsion springs are rated for over 30,000+ cycles, ensuring years of reliable operation with minimal maintenance costs.
Maximizing Space Efficiency in Congested Work Areas
High-volume applications usually involve a lot of activity. There simply isn’t a lot of room to maneuver larger trucks and vehicles. Unlike swing or sliding doors that require space inside or outside the building where they are mounted to operate and that can become an obstruction and a pinch point, a high-quality industrial sectional overhead door opens up vertically. The horizontal panels rise up inside the building and roll back along tracks on the interior, storing snugly above, parallel to the building’s ceiling. By operating vertically and with no swing radius or wall clearance needed at the front and sides of the opening, you get the benefit of unobstructed space in front of and surrounding the doorway. You have more usable square footage available for storage or vehicle movement and can ensure rapid and uninterrupted traffic flow into and out of your facility .
Thermal Integrity and Energy Cost Reduction
For a high-traffic environment in which the door opens many times per day and each time, some conditioned air escapes while some warmer outside air infiltrates, “air leakage” is a primary concern. For that reason, nothing works better than an industrial sectional overhead door for sealing out the elements, since such a door will help you maintain desired interior temperature. An excellent R-value is achieved through the high-density polyurethane core of each panel. This thermal efficiency is further maximized by a robust four-sided sealing system. By creating a tight, weather-resistant barrier, the door effectively retains your facility's internal temperature while completely blocking out external drafts, dirt, and moisture.
The Seppes Doors come with a complete perimeter set of EPDM weather seals on all sides, including a flexible EPDM rubber bottom seal that closes perfectly on various floor surfaces, ensuring no air, dust, or moisture penetrates your facility. The doors may thus save you thousands of euros in heating costs and air conditioning costs per year.
Advanced Safety Systems Protecting People and Assets
The safety design built into Seppes Door’s industrial sectional overhead doors offers superior reliability and integrity. Rather than relying on a single basic protective measure, we incorporate a comprehensive, three-tier fail-safe redundant system to ensure maximum protection for personnel and equipment. These standard safety devices include: a bottom safety edge that instantly reverses the door upon physical impact; a torsion spring anti-break device that automatically arrests downward movement if a spring fails; and a wire rope arrestor that securely locks the door in place in the event of a cable breakage.
The result is the safest operational overhead door on the market for personnel, materials, equipment, and machinery in heavy industrial environments.
