High-speed doors with horizontal opening system - more up-to-date than ever

The horizontal opening principle provides, first and foremost, safety – both for the user and for the door itself. The entire passageway height is available simultaneously on both sides. A collision with goods on a fork-lift truck, or even a crash with the vehicle itself is practically ruled out. This protects the employee against accidents, but also the goods and the door itself against damage. This is shown very clearly by videos on the Internet at www.butzbach.com/en. The fact that the Butzbach company is not only convinced of the special engineering but also the quality of its products, is shown by the guarantee of over 500,000 openings for the springs – a unique offer by a manufacturer.

Even when the idea is more than 30 years old, the engineering is more up-to-date than ever and offers many benefits to the user. With the changeover from hydraulics to electric drive, the NOVOSPRINT® with an opening speed of up to 5 metres/sec. is the fastest industrial door in the world today. The passageway is completely free in a matter of seconds, allowing a logistic flow free from delays. The closing times, which are also very short, reduce the effective open time to a minimum, and so also the discomfort to the employees from noise, draughts and cold. Many options for outfitting the high-speed door allow it to be adapted to the particular purpose – the double-walled version for increased thermal and acoustic insulation, a wide range of sensors and actuators, and the hygiene type for the food and pharmaceutical industries are only a few of the possible variants. Others are an integrated light grid that triggers reverse motion without making contact, or the use as panic door in escape and rescue routes due to the automatic opening in case of power failure.

Step-by-step extensions allow the basic model of the door to be adapted exactly to individual needs: this makes the door already economical on purchasing it but also in operation over decades and millions of opening cycles. NOVOSPRINT® can be installed for door openings of up to W x H of 4.75 x 4.50 metres; above that, the Novosprint HS3E series can offer up to a W x H of 9 x 6 metres.
