DescriptionTeckentrup ThermoTeck Roller Speed High-Speed Door
Product Overview
The Ultimate "All-in-One" Industrial Solution
The Teckentrup ThermoTeck Roller Speed eliminates the need for compromise. Traditionally, businesses had to install two doors: a slow, heavy steel shutter for night-time security and a secondary fabric door for daytime speed. This innovative system combines both functions into a single, high-performance unit.
Engineered with German precision and built to a specification far exceeding standard UK roller shutters, this door features a robust, double-skinned insulated steel curtain driven by a powerful 3-phase Direct Drive motor. It delivers the physical security and thermal insulation of a traditional security shutter, but operates at the lightning-fast speeds required for modern logistics.
Key Features & Benefits
1. High Speed & High Security
By integrating speed and security, the ThermoTeck Roller Speed offers tangible commercial advantages:
- Dual Functionality: One door does it all—secure your building at night and facilitate rapid forklift traffic during the day.
- Fast Operation: Opening speeds of up to 1.5 m/s ensure smooth workflow and prevent bottlenecks.
- Robust Barrier: Unlike fabric speed doors, the double-skinned steel curtain provides a genuine physical barrier suitable for external perimeter use.
2. Energy Efficiency & Atmosphere Control
Controlling the internal environment is critical for reducing energy bills and maintaining product quality:
- Reduced Open Time: The rapid cycle drastically minimizes the time the door stands open, preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
- Insulated Curtain: The double-skinned steel slats are filled with insulating foam, offering excellent thermal values when the door is closed.
- Tight Seals: Designed to control the atmosphere inside the building, keeping out dust, draughts, and pests.
3. Advanced Drive Technology
At the heart of the system is a heavy-duty industrial drive unit designed for reliability:
- Direct Drive Motor: A high-torque 400V 3-phase motor mounts directly to the shaft, eliminating chains that stretch and require maintenance.
- Low Maintenance: The patented belt system dampens running noise and reduces wear on components.
- Extreme Durability: Tested for over 200,000 cycles, ensuring years of trouble-free operation even in intensive use environments.
4. Safety as Standard
Teckentrup prioritises operator safety with advanced protection systems included as standard:
- Light Curtain: A safety photocell grid is built into the guide tracks, creating a full-height invisible barrier. If a person or forklift breaks the beam, the door stops instantly—preventing accidents before impact occurs.
- Anti-Drop Device: Integrated into the drive system to prevent the door from falling in the unlikely event of a mechanical failure.
Technical Design
- Compact Roll: Special slat geometry allows the curtain to roll up tighter than competitor doors, requiring less headroom.
- Wind Resistance: Capable of withstanding wind loads of Class 3 or 4, making it ideal for exposed locations.
- Size Range: Available up to 10 m wide and 9 m high (up to 20 m wide with centre supports).
Customisation Options
Tailor the ThermoTeck Roller Speed to your specific facility requirements:
- Colour Choice: Select from standard galvanised finish or a wide range of coil-coated and powder-coated RAL colours.
- Vision Panels: Optional double-glazed vision slats (96 mm profile) allow natural light into the warehouse while maintaining security.
ApplicationThe Teckentrup ThermoTeck Roller Speed is the definitive hybrid solution for industrial openings that require the security of a steel shutter combined with the efficiency of a high-speed door. Its robust, all-weather design makes it suitable for both internal and external applications, particularly in high-traffic environments where energy conservation and workflow are critical.
Ideal Applications
1. Warehousing & Distribution Centres
In logistics, every second counts. The fast opening speed (up to 1.5 m/s) ensures forklifts can move seamlessly between loading bays and storage areas without stopping. The insulated curtain also helps maintain temperature control in large volume warehouses, significantly reducing heating or cooling costs.
2. External Perimeter Security
Unlike fabric speed doors, which cannot secure a building at night, the ThermoTeck Speed is designed for external use. Its double-skinned galvanised steel curtain provides a high-security physical barrier (Resistance Class WK2-WK4 depending on config), protecting your facility from intrusion and extreme weather.
3. Manufacturing & Production Halls
For factories separating noisy or dusty production zones from assembly or dispatch areas, this door offers:
- Noise Reduction: The patented belt system and insulated curtain dampen operational noise.
- Atmosphere Control: The rapid cycle minimises the transfer of dust, fumes, and draughts between zones.
4. Large Openings (XXL System)
For aircraft hangars, large agricultural machinery stores, or oversized manufacturing bays, the "XXL" configuration allows widths of up to 20 metres. This uses a movable centre post that can be unlocked and pushed aside, allowing two separate doors to create one massive clear opening when required.
5. Food & Pharmaceutical Storage
While not a cleanroom door, the ThermoTeck Speed is ideal for goods-in areas in temperature-controlled environments. Its tight seals and rapid operation prevent pests (birds/vermin) from entering and minimise temperature fluctuations.
Why Choose ThermoTeck Speed for Your Facility?
Energy Savings
Traditional roller shutters are slow, leaving the building open to the elements for long periods. The ThermoTeck Speed cuts this "open time" to a minimum. Combined with a thermally efficient U-value of 3.5 W/(m²·K), this door pays for itself over time through reduced energy bills.
Space Optimization
The innovative profile geometry allows the curtain to roll up extremely tightly. This means the door requires significantly less headroom and side room than comparable insulated doors, maximising usable height for high-mast forklifts and racking.
Reduced Maintenance
Designed for intensive use (tested to >200,000 cycles), the direct-drive motor and wear-free belt system eliminate the common failure points of chain-driven shutters, reducing downtime and maintenance call-outs.
