High-speed doors

A modular system with four door types

To mark its 50th anniversary, Efaflex is presenting a further development of its spiral door: the "Next Generation high-speed doors". This is a modular system with four door types, all based on the same door concept. The possibilities for customers are many and varied.

Each of the four different door types is available in three different versions - with preconfigured equipment packages. Special requests, such as an angled end plate, can also be implemented. The door control unit can also be integrated into the curtain box to save space.

In the premium version, each of the four door types has safety equipment with EFA-TLG door line light grille, manual emergency opening lever and spring breakage detection in both frames. The symmetrical door design also has hinged frame covers. This simplifies maintenance and repair - also in combination with EFA-SmartAssist. EFA-SmartAssist is a digital support tool with a remote diagnosis function via video link that offers direct support from Efaflex employees.

High-speed doors increase sustainability

At the same time, the standardization of the door design and the use of identical parts simplifies the manufacture of all product components. Each door type is designed for up to 400,000 load changes per year and therefore also stands for extremely sustainable use. The modular principle of the "Next Generation high-speed doors" saves resources, meaning that the carbon footprint is already significantly reduced during production.

Energy consumption is also reduced over the course of use in your buildings; the amount of savings varies depending on the door configuration. The Efalex sustainability product passport provides customers with all the necessary information about the sustainability of the door. According to the manufacturer, this passport can be helpful for certification of the building.

The door types at a glance

The EFA-SST Therm minimizes energy losses thanks to thermally separated EFA-Therm insulating slats. As a result, the door also achieves a good U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, making it our star in terms of sustainability. It is particularly suitable for hall and building closures and is also suitable as a noise protection application thanks to the insulated slats.

The EFA-SST Alux is extremely robust thanks to its double-walled aluminum slats and can withstand up to 400,000 load cycles per year. On top of this, the door system is certified to DIN EN 12424 with wind class 5, meaning it can remain in operation even under high wind loads and offers the option of ensuring certified resistance class 2 (WK2/RC2) with the appropriate configuration. This applies to all doors with the exception of the EFA-STR Flex.

The EFA-STT Clear high-speed turbo motor impresses with its fast opening speed of 3.2 m/s. In combination with the EFA-CLEAR transparent slats, which ensure a clear view with open sight lines, this door offers a high level of safety and speed for any processes involving many people.

With its opening speed of up to 4.0 m/s, the EFA-STR Flex high-speed turbo roller shutter door enables efficient and fast logistics. The reason for the speed lies in the door leaf, which is made of PVC-coated polyester fabric and reinforcements made of aluminum profiles, in combination with the Efaflex spiral technology.
