DescriptionPremium Thermal Insulation for Temperature-Critical Applications
The Hormann SPU 67 Thermo represents the ultimate solution for industrial facilities requiring exceptional thermal insulation performance. With 67mm-thick double-skinned steel sections incorporating sophisticated thermal break technology, this premium sectional door achieves outstanding U-values as low as 0.51 W/(m²·K), making it the optimal choice for cold storage facilities, food logistics operations, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and any industrial application where temperature control and energy efficiency are paramount.
The 67mm section depth provides substantially enhanced insulation capabilities compared to standard 42mm doors, whilst the integrated thermal break technology eliminates cold bridging through the door structure. This combination minimises temperature losses at door openings, reducing energy consumption for heating or refrigeration systems and maintaining stable internal environmental conditions.
Double-Skinned Steel Construction with PU Foam Core
The SPU 67 Thermo utilises premium double-skinned steel construction with polyurethane foam core insulation. The steel outer skins provide robust impact resistance and structural strength, whilst the dense PU foam core delivers exceptional thermal insulation properties. This construction method creates a highly efficient thermal barrier that significantly outperforms alternative insulation materials.
The steel skins are available in either Stucco-textured or Micrograin surface finishes, both providing attractive appearance with practical benefits. The textured surfaces help mask minor surface marks in busy industrial environments, whilst the high-quality finish maintains a professional appearance appropriate for premium facilities.
Thermal Break Technology
The integrated thermal break within the 67mm sections creates a physical discontinuity in heat transfer paths, preventing thermal bridging that would otherwise compromise insulation performance. This sophisticated engineering detail proves crucial in achieving the door's exceptional thermal efficiency, particularly important in extreme temperature differential applications such as freezer facilities or heated production environments in cold climates.
The thermal break construction maintains structural integrity whilst dramatically improving insulation performance, enabling the SPU 67 Thermo to meet stringent energy efficiency requirements for temperature-controlled facilities.
Ideal Applications for SPU 67 Thermo
This premium thermal door excels in demanding applications including:
• Cold Storage Warehouses: Minimises temperature loss and ice formation
• Food Processing Facilities: Maintains hygiene standards with smooth, cleanable surfaces
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Provides stable environmental control for sensitive processes
• Fresh Food Logistics: Reduces temperature fluctuations during loading operations
• Refrigerated Distribution Centres: Lowers energy costs through superior insulation
• Climate-Controlled Manufacturing: Maintains process temperatures efficiently
Exceptional Opening Dimensions
The SPU 67 Thermo accommodates the largest opening sizes in the Hormann industrial range, with maximum width capacity of 10,000mm and maximum height of 7500mm. These substantial dimensions enable the door to serve large-format logistics facilities, aircraft maintenance hangars, and major distribution centres whilst maintaining exceptional thermal performance across the entire door area.
The robust 67mm section construction provides self-supporting stability even across these exceptional spans, eliminating the need for intermediate vertical supports that would compromise the clear opening width.
Robust Performance Characteristics
Despite its focus on thermal performance, the SPU 67 Thermo maintains excellent structural characteristics. The door achieves Class 3 wind load resistance, ensuring stable operation in exposed locations. The substantial section depth and quality construction deliver enhanced rigidity compared to thinner alternatives, reducing panel deflection under wind loading.
Weather sealing performance includes comprehensive perimeter sealing on all four sides, combined with intermediate seals between door sections. This creates effective barriers against rain penetration, air infiltration, and dust ingress, essential for maintaining controlled environments.
Surface Finish Options
The door is available in galvanised steel with powder-coated finish in standard colours including RAL 9002 (grey white) and RAL 9006 (white aluminium), with comprehensive RAL colour range available for architectural colour matching. Both Stucco-textured and Micrograin surface options provide durable, easy-maintenance finishes suitable for industrial environments.
The smooth, non-porous surface finishes prove particularly valuable in food industry applications where hygiene and cleanability are critical requirements. The finishes resist bacterial growth and enable effective cleaning with industrial cleaning agents.
Electric Operation for Large Formats
Given the substantial size capabilities and thermal mass of the SPU 67 Thermo, electric operation is typically specified. Industrial-grade motors provide reliable automated operation with integrated safety features including obstacle detection, emergency stop, and soft-start/soft-stop functionality to reduce mechanical stress.
Wicket Door Option
For operational efficiency, the SPU 67 Thermo can incorporate an integrated wicket door, enabling pedestrian access without opening the main door. The wicket door features 905mm clear passage width with trip-free threshold design, maintaining thermal efficiency whilst providing convenient access. This feature significantly reduces energy losses in facilities with frequent personnel movement.
Comprehensive Safety Systems
Industrial-grade safety features ensure compliant operation in busy facilities. Finger trap protection without thermal break maintains safety whilst preserving thermal performance. Side trap guards, spring break safeguards, and integrated safety catch systems for operator-driven doors provide comprehensive protection.
Energy Efficiency Benefits
The exceptional thermal performance delivers substantial operational cost savings. In refrigerated facilities, reduced temperature losses translate directly to lower refrigeration system energy consumption. In heated facilities, improved insulation reduces heating costs. The energy savings typically provide attractive payback periods on the premium door investment, particularly in facilities operating 24/7 with significant temperature differentials.
