Bulldoor™ Standard Specification

back to Bulldoor
Crash-Out & Auto-Reset: Bulldoor™ includes the unique 'Crash-Out & Auto-Reset' facility for which Union's range of Hi-Speed Doors is famous. The purpose of this feature is to minimise bottom beam and door blade damage following impact by forklift trucks, which is an all too common a problem, resulting in down-time and excessive repair costs.
Door Blade Type : 'Ramskin' - 1.5 mm thick single ply PVC coated polyester monofilament with anti-static additive. Temperature resistant from -25°C to +90°C. Fire retardant to ISO 340 (BS 5438). With full width clear PVC vision panel, reinforced by integral steel wind bracings concealed within batten pockets, both above and below the vision panel.

Door Blade Colour:

Available as standard in; yellow, blue and red.
Columns & Side Guides : 120 mm x 120 mm x 5 mm thick square hollow section steel columns. 160 mm deep x 3 mm thick pressed steel blade guides (bolt-on construction for quick and easy replacement), c/w 50 mm x 30 mm hollow section inserts with integral brush seals within the guides..

Top Roller :

168.5 mm diameter x 4 mm wall steel tube terminating at each end with 30 mm diameter stub shafts running in self aligning bearing units.

Bottom Bar :

Composite construction: rectangular hollow section steel sandwiched between two 3 mm pressed grade 304 stainless steel bottom bar pressings, fitted with full width double panama dust seal.

Finish :

Columns, side guides, back-bar, brackets, etc, de-greased, blast cleaned, then pre-treated with 'Akzo Nobel Interpon' anti-corrosive primer before being finished within 'Interpon AB' anti-bacterial hygienic powder coating in standard grey to RAL 7043.

Drive :

1.5Kw foot mounted brake geared motor unit driving the top roll via a 5/8" pitch simplex chain drive (17T/24T reduction).

Speed :

Door opening: Variable up to 1.6m/sec (maximum)
Door closing: Variable up to 0.7m/sec (maximum)

Drive Chain Guard :

Fitted as standard.
Control: Control system incorporates the essential functional components of a multi-functional door controller. Combined with an inverter, the system allows smooth starting and stopping thus reducing mechanical wear. The system allows precise adjustment of parameter settings to control the door under normal use with full safety monitoring.
Control housed in 500 mm x 500 mm x 210 mm deep IP54 rated cabinet, powder coated red, c/w Perspex diagnostic viewing window, 'Open' push button 'Close' push button and emergency stop button.

Brush Damper :

A continuous flexible brush fitted full width across the back-bar at the top, acting as a 'damper' which limits the swing of the door blade after impact as it reaches the top position.

Side Seals: The standard fixing position of Bulldoor™ is 100 mm inboard of the opening fixing face in order to accommodate the 'Crash-Out and Auto-Reset' facility.
2 mm thick, galvanised and powder coated side seals are fitted to full height, both sides, in order to infill the 100 mm gap created.

Top Seals:

A 100 mm x 50 mm (size variable according to door width) steel hollow section back-bar fitted across the full width of the door at the top, to which the brush damper is affixed.

Safety:

 

Double Photo-electric Cells - One fitted on the face column and one fitted on the reverse side at low level, with reflectors on the opposite columns. IP67 rated photo-cells and reflectors protected by heavy duty steel covers. To prevent the door from closing when anything is detected beneath it, or immediately adjacent to the opening on either side.
Light Curtains - Integral within the side guides and starting 45 mm from floor level to variable heights (dependent on door opening height) to prevent the door from closing when anything is detected within the door opening. IP64 rated.
Safety Buffers - Foam filled padded buffers attached on face and reverse sides of the bottom beam, full width, in order to give additional protection for pedestrian users.
Manual Break Release - Pull cord to release the brake lever in order to raise the door with minimal manual assistance in the event of a power failure.
CE Compliance - Bulldoor™ complies with the essential Health and Safety requirements of the latest EC Machinery Directives.
