Description

Side hung, fast action bi folding steel doors specifically where fast opening is required such as a fire station or other emergency services. This superb folding door is available as a 2 leaf door folding to the left, right or both sides (0+2, 2+0 or 2+2 panel arrangement).

The door leaves fit to the inside face of the opening and fold inwards to 90 degrees, all in around 5-7 seconds with electric operation.

The door panels are traditionally manufactured using an internal galvanised steel channel frame, spot-welded with internal strengthening plates at all corners, and packing plates at all hardware positions. They are clad with pre-finished Plastisol coated steel sheets and injected with high density foam insulation to form an extremely rigid flat panel and without any mechanical fixings. The panels are then factory fitted with hinges, handles and push fit seals to provide a fully finished product, which makes site installation simplicity itself.
 
The maximum width for these Swift electric operated doors is 4750mm with a maximum height of 6000mm in a bi fold arrangement and then 2350mm wide for a 2 panel single parting arrangement.
 
The panel thickness is 52mm with a weight of 20 kg per square metre. The electric drive motor is a 230V single phase from world leaders FAAC.
 
Standard
A FAAC 560 electro-hydraulic motor is mounted internally at the top of each leading edge leaf. A FAAC E145-S control panel with 12 function logics, and advanced programming for
finer tuning, control both door halves. A push-button unit is supplied. A manual release arm is fitted to each motor at a high level to enable the manual operation of the door.
 
Optional
A FAAC 560 electro-hydraulic motor is mounted internally at the top of each leading edge leaf. A FAAC E145 control panel with 12 function logics, and advanced programming for
finer tuning, control both door halves. A push button unit with Run and Captive Stop buttons is supplied. A low-level manual release lever is fitted on the inside face of the door to enable instant manual operation of the door.
 
Various safety sensors can be installed to suit the environment and panel arrangements. These include safety detection, optoelectronic edges, infra red presence detection sensors, photocells and then various traffic light systems can be added for visual warning of door movements.
 
Application

The Swift electric operated folding door system is ideal for any opening requiring fast opening for regular vehicle movement in or out of a building. The door offers insulation for sound and thermal regulation.

Like any folding door fitted behind the aperture, the final drive through dimensions are totally clear when open.
