DescriptionHormann HS 7030 PU 42 Insulated High Speed Door
The Hormann HS 7030 PU 42 represents a significant leap forward in industrial door technology. It is a high-speed, smooth-faced aluminium spiral door that is also available with sectional overhead track mechanisms. This innovative system effectively provides you with "three doors in one," combining the security of an external roller shutter, the thermal insulation of a sectional door, and the rapid action of a fabric high-speed door.
A Complete Solution: Security, Speed & Insulation
Traditionally, controlling the internal climate of a busy logistics building required a cumbersome two-door setup: a slow, heavy roller shutter for overnight security and a separate fabric rapid-roll door for daytime use. The HS 7030 PU eliminates this need completely.
By specifying this door, you are investing in a single, high-performance unit that offers:
- High Speed Operation: Rapid opening speeds to optimise logistics flow.
- Exceptional Insulation: 42mm PU-foamed sections with thermal breaks to control internal temperatures.
- Solid Security: A robust physical barrier that protects your premises when closed.
Unique Non-Contact Roll-Up Technology
At the heart of the HS 7030 PU is Hormann’s innovative non-contact spiral technology. Unlike standard roller shutters where the curtain layers touch and grind against each other, the sections of this door are guided into a circular spiral bracket without ever making contact. This engineering masterpiece prevents wear, ensures whisper-quiet operation at high speeds, and preserves the pristine visual aesthetics of the door panels for years to come.
Versatile Track Options: Spiral, High-Lift, or Vertical
While the circular spiral bracket is the standard configuration for compact efficiency, we understand that every building layout is different. The HS 7030 PU system is highly adaptable and can be specified with alternative sectional-style track mechanisms to suit your specific headroom and structural constraints:
- Spiral Track: The standard compact solution for fast, non-contact rolling.
- High-Lift (H) Track: An optional tracked mechanism that guides the door sections up and along the ceiling, ideal for clearing overhead obstructions or supply lines.
- Vertical (V) Track: A purely vertical lift mechanism for buildings with ample height, allowing the door to travel straight up the wall.
Performance & Safety Features
The HS 7030 PU is packed with advanced features designed for long service life and low maintenance:
- Thermally Insulated: The double-skinned 42mm anodised aluminium profiles are constructed with thermal breaks, delivering excellent U-values to significantly reduce energy costs.
- Powerful Control: Equipped with a frequency converter (FU) control system as standard, the door achieves exceptionally fast opening speeds (up to 2.5 m/s depending on size/track) whilst maintaining precise, smooth travel.
- Smart Safety: Features a standard safety light grille integrated into the side elements, monitoring the closing zone without contact to protect personnel and forklifts.
- Easy Repair: The sectional design allows for individual profile slats to be easily replaced if damaged, minimising downtime and repair costs.
- Manual Operation: The door includes spring compensation support, making it easy to open manually by hand—a crucial feature often missing from standard high-speed doors. (Optional Electric UPS emergency operation is available).
Bespoke Manufacturing
Important Pricing Note: Due to the highly customisable nature of this product—including the choice of spiral or tracked mechanisms, precise size requirements, and various access control methods—we cannot provide an accurate cost online. Every door is made to measure to your exact specifications.
ApplicationIdeal Applications
The Hormann HS 7030 PU is designed to replace the traditional (and expensive) dual-door setup of a roller shutter plus a fabric high-speed door. This makes it the perfect "all-in-one" solution for buildings where logistics efficiency, thermal performance, and security are all equally critical.
Typical applications include:
- Logistics & Distribution Centres: Where high-speed access is needed for forklifts, but thermal insulation is required to reduce heating costs during quieter periods.
- Emergency Services Stations: Fire, ambulance, and police stations require the fastest possible exit speeds combined with high security and reliability.
- Automotive Manufacturing: Protecting high-value production lines and stock while allowing rapid inter-building traffic.
- External Security Perimeters: Ideal for car parks, secure compounds, and high-value commercial units where visual aesthetics and physical security are paramount.
- Temperature-Controlled Warehousing: The thermal breaks and rapid cycle times minimise air exchange, making it suitable for chilled or heated environments (though dedicated cold-store models like the Iso Speed Cold are recommended for deep freeze).
The "Three-in-One" Benefit
By installing the HS 7030 PU, you are effectively solving three building requirements with a single investment:
- Daytime High-Speed Access: Functions exactly like a rapid-roll fabric door, speeding up workflow and reducing waiting times for staff and vehicles.
- Climate Control: Functions like an insulated sectional door, sealing the building against heat loss (or gain) to lower energy bills and improve carbon footprints.
- Night-time Security: Functions like a heavy-duty security shutter, providing a robust physical barrier against intruders when the facility is closed.
Adaptable to Your Building
Thanks to the versatile track options, this door can be installed in almost any industrial space:
- Low Headroom? The Spiral track fits compactly above the opening.
- Obstructed Ceiling? The Spiral track keeps the door mechanism contained, avoiding clashes with cranes, lighting, or sprinklers.
- High Ceilings? The Vertical (V) or High-Lift (H) track options allow the door to follow the roofline or wall, keeping the opening completely clear.
Smart Monitoring for Busy Operations
For high-intensity logistics hubs, the standard SmartControl system allows facility managers to monitor door cycles and performance remotely. This enables proactive maintenance scheduling, ensuring the door remains operational during peak critical periods—vital for 24/7 distribution centres.
