Hormann HS 5015 Acoustic High-Speed Industrial Door

Product Overview

The Hormann HS 5015 Acoustic H combines the rapid opening speeds of a high-performance industrial door with the sound-dampening properties of a permanent partition. Designed specifically for internal applications where noise levels are a critical concern, this door allows businesses to isolate loud machinery and production zones without compromising logistical efficiency.

By effectively reducing noise transfer, the HS 5015 Acoustic H helps facilities meet health and safety standards while maintaining the fast material flow required in a modern factory environment.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Advanced Acoustic Insulation

Unlike standard high-speed doors, the HS 5015 features a specialised "sandwich" profile construction designed to absorb sound. The door leaf is manufactured from robust aluminium hollow profiles, filled with a dense combination of:

• 5 mm Heavy PVC (for mass and sound deflection)
• 30 mm PU-Foam (for absorption and stability)

This heavy-duty infill acts as a barrier to high-decibel noise, creating a tangible improvement in working conditions on the "quiet" side of the door.

2. Commercial Noise Control

In commercial environments, controlling noise pollution is more than a luxury—it is a necessity. Installing the HS 5015 provides immediate benefits:

• HSE Compliance: Assists in lowering daily personal noise exposure levels for staff, protecting hearing health.
• Zone Separation: Effectively isolates loud manufacturing processes (such as stamping, printing, or grinding) from quiet assembly lines, dispatch areas, or production offices.
• Enhanced Productivity: Reducing background roar improves voice communication and concentration levels for nearby workforce.

3. High-Lift Track Application (Version H)

The "H" designation stands for the versatile High-Lift track application. The galvanised tracks guide the door sections horizontally deep into the building, offering exceptional installation flexibility:

• Obstruction Clearance: The door can be diverted to fit behind or above supply lines, ventilation ducts, and crane tracks.
• Space Optimisation: Ideal for buildings with specific ceiling constraints, requiring a minimum headroom of 1000 mm.

4. Wear-Free Counterbalance Mechanism

To handle the additional weight of the acoustic panels while maintaining high opening speeds, the door utilises a reliable belt mechanism with counterweights:

• Perfect Balance: The counterweights ensure the door leaf is weight-neutral at every stage of travel, putting minimal stress on the drive unit.
• Long Service Life: This system is exceptionally low-wear and long-lasting compared to spring-tensioned alternatives, reducing maintenance costs over the door's lifetime.

Application Suitability

The HS 5015 Acoustic H is the definitive choice for:

• Automotive & Heavy Industry: Separating press shops and bodywork areas from final assembly.
• Printing & Paper: Isolating high-speed printing presses from quality control zones.
• Machine Shops: Enclosing CNC machining centres or grinding stations to prevent noise spill.

The Hormann HS 5015 Acoustic H is engineered for environments where sound attenuation is as critical as operational speed. It bridges the gap between logistical efficiency and occupational health, making it an essential asset for modern manufacturing and heavy industry.

Unlike standard PVC speed doors which offer minimal resistance to noise, the rigid composite panels of the HS 5015 create an effective acoustic barrier. This makes it the ideal solution for partitioning aggressive noise sources while maintaining high-frequency traffic flow.

Ideal Applications

Automotive & Heavy Manufacturing

In large-scale production halls, specific zones often generate dangerous noise levels. The HS 5015 is perfectly suited for:

• Press Shops: Isolating the intense vibration and impact noise of metal stamping presses from adjacent assembly lines.
• Body Shops: Containing the noise from grinding and welding robots.
• Testing Facilities: Enclosing engine test cells or "rattle and squeak" test tracks where acoustic separation is mandatory for accurate readings.

Printing & Paper Industries

High-speed printing presses run continuously and generate a constant, high-decibel drone. Installing an HS 5015 allows:

• Process Separation: Separation of the noisy printing hall from the quieter finishing and quality control (QC) areas.
• Climate Control: The insulated panels also help maintain stable humidity and temperature levels required for paper storage, preventing curling or misfeeds.

Machine Shops & CNC Centres

CNC milling and turning centres can create high-pitched, piercing frequencies. This door protects nearby staff:

• Operator Protection: Reduces the ambient noise level for programmers and supervisors working in offices adjacent to the shop floor.
• Dust Containment: The rapid opening cycle minimises the escape of fine metal dust and coolant mist into clean passageways.

Logistics & Warehousing

While primarily an acoustic door, its thermal properties make it excellent for:

• Loading Docks: separating busy, cold loading bays from warmer internal picking zones.
• Forklift Routes: The "High-Lift" track system allows the door to follow the roof line, keeping floor space clear for high-mast forklifts and racking systems.

Why Choose the HS 5015 Acoustic H for Your Facility?

1. Health & Safety Compliance

Prolonged exposure to noise above 85 dB can cause permanent hearing damage. By installing the HS 5015, you actively reduce the "noise dose" for your employees, helping your facility comply with strict HSE noise-at-work regulations.

2. Improved Communication

In a quieter environment, team members can communicate effectively without shouting. This reduces misinterpretation of instructions and lowers the risk of accidents caused by missed warnings.

3. Unhindered Productivity

Standard acoustic doors are often heavy, slow, and difficult to open. The HS 5015 opens at speeds of up to 2.5 m/s, ensuring that your acoustic barrier never becomes a bottleneck in your production line.
