Why choose Flexible rapid door?
A closure designed around your needs
The survey confirms flow direction, cadence, dimensions, environment, pressure or wind, hygiene, detection zones, control logic and any associated rigid closure.
What makes this model different
- Opening up to ~2 m/s depending on model
- Application range 100-1,000 cycles/day
- Full-height photocells or light curtain and flexible bottom edge
- Automatic curtain reinsertion after impact as an option
- Galvanised or stainless-steel structure; cold-room variant
This model is right for you if
Choose it when the priority is rapid interior passage, hygiene or reduced air exchange between zones.
- Logistics and order preparation
- Production and interior separation
- Food-processing and hygiene areas
- Cold rooms and tempered zones
Consider another solution if
Compare an industrial sectional door or large industrial metal curtain for a rigid closure, and an industrial gate for exterior site access.
Security designed for its use
The flexible rapid door manages flows and environmental separation. It is not a rigid anti-intrusion closure; a complementary rigid closure should be planned when out-of-hours security is required.

Frequently asked questions about Flexible rapid door
What is a flexible rapid door used for?
It accelerates repeated passages and limits air exchange between logistics, production, hygiene or cold zones.
Is it an anti-intrusion closure outside operating hours?
No. It is a flexible flow and environmental-separation door. For out-of-hours security, a complementary rigid closure is required.
What speed and cadence are realistic?
Published guidance is opening up to ~2 m/s depending on model and around 100-1,000 cycles/day depending on application, to be confirmed by the selected datasheet.
How do you choose between roll-up, reinsertion and folding?
Roll-up suits common rapid passages, reinsertion suits areas exposed to impacts, and folding suits very large dimensions.
Which protections are needed for radar, loop and full height?
Radar, loop, light curtain or photocells are selected according to vehicle/pedestrian flows, visibility and the passage zone.
Can it be used in food processing or a cold room?
Yes, depending on configuration: stainless-steel structure is possible for hygiene environments and an insulated curtain of around 18 mm for some cold areas down to around -18 °C.
What dimensions and curtain variants are available?
Roll-up can reach up to ~5,000 x 5,000 mm and folding up to ~12,000 x 7,000 mm. Variants cover opaque fabric, transparent vision and insulated curtain.
What determines price, maintenance and warranty?
Dimensions, architecture, curtain, speed, cadence, structure, detections, environment and site access determine the quote. Maintenance depends on traffic; installation is covered by Garantie 2 ans.
