Our high speed doors
are designed for
applications where they
will receive intensive
use. Because of their
operating speed, they
dramatically reduce
your energy CO2 costs,
and draughts, also
temperature loss as
well as optimising
traffic flow.
They
significantly reduce
energy costs and
create more
comfortable working
conditions. Productivity
is also improved due to
drastically reduced
operating times.
A typical industrial door
measuring 4000mm x
4000mm takes about 90
seconds to complete its
operating cycle. Typical
daily usage will mean that
the door is open in excess
of three hours per day.
Often the aggravation of
opening and closing a
conventional door means it
will be left open all day.
A high speed door
operating at 1 metre per
second with a paused time
in the open position of 10
seconds, would mean that
the door would be shut for
two and a half hours more
per day.
Our high speed doors
can be split into two
categories, rolling (Instant
roll and Mini roll) and
folding (Instant pass and
Grand pass).
Our supplier has been
manufacturing doors for
over 35 years and are CE
marked to comply with
European machinery
directive.
All speed doors
supplied by Bifold Rolfe Limited
are CE marked to comply with European
machinery directive.
A declaration of
conformity is available
for each door supplied
from the manufacturer.

OC 314/17
This 2-part OC advises
that rapid-operating industrial/commercial
powered roller-curtain
doors used by pedestrians
should be provided with
presence-sensing ‘stand
off’ safety devices.
The
Information Document
(ID) may be copied
to interested persons
outside HSE. ‘Rapid’ is considered to
be an opening or closing
speed in excess of about
0.5 metres per second.
The standard of safety of
industrial doors and
shutters is described in
OC 314/17. Additionally,
rapid-acting roller-curtain
doors used by pedestrians
should be provided with a
presence-sensing safety
device positioned at least
0.9 metres in front of the
doorway.
A photobeam
device is acceptable if
positioned at least 0.9m
from the door. A barrier
may be necessary between
the device(s) and the
doorway to prevent anyone
entering the ‘unprotected’
area other than through the
photobeam.
A motion sensor (such
as a passive infrared beam)
is not a ‘safety component’
and should therefore not
be used as a safety device
in this application.
