Revolution! EFAFLEX reduces ‘polygon effect’ with low lintel door

Time is money. This adage applies in many areas of today’s world. The inventors of high-speed spiral door technology, EFAFLEX, are now revolutionising the door market once again by reducing the ‘polygon effect’.
Every operator of door systems knows the problem when opening the door leaf of low lintel sectional doors. The individual components bend in different ways to form polygons before reaching the storage area. The door therefore opens even more slowly and irregularly than it already does – a lot of valuable time is lost if the door is opened many times a day. Not to mention the noise and the massive wear and tear on the guide rails and door leaf rollers.
But the EFA-SST® N Premium from EFAFLEX now puts an end to this. Thanks to its patented technology, the high-speed door with a low lintel reduces the ‘polygon effect’. The reason for this lies in the transition section of this innovative door design. There are two guide lines there, not just one as is usually the case. As a result, the rollers are intelligently distributed over the two options. The door glides virtually ‘seamlessly’ through the curve.

Time savings through eliminated “polygon effect”

The advantages of EFAFLEX’s gate innovation are enormous. Due to the eliminated “polygon effect,” the gate speed reaches up to 2.0 m/s. Normal roller door applications achieve only about 1.0 m/s. The doubled speed saves time in daily use and ultimately saves real money.
The smoother operation of the EFA-SST® N Premium, thanks to the reduced polygon effect, also reduces noise pollution for the environment. This makes handling the gate easier for everyone involved—from employees in the workshop to forklift drivers in logistics.

400,000 load cycles per year possible

At the same time, the noise reduction and resulting lower wear also ensure enormous durability, with up to 400,000 possible load cycles per year. The EFA-SST® N Premium also features a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K.
Less strain on the door panel and structural components also means less maintenance and fewer repairs, leading to lower operating costs. EFAFLEX’s in-house service team supports gate operators digitally and personally to provide the best possible solution for every requirement.

EFAFLEX low-headroom door ensures maximum clearance height

This advantage starts with installation, as EFAFLEX offers customers maximum flexibility regarding the size of high-speed doors. The EFA-SST® N Premium is the ideal solution for limited height conditions. It guarantees maximum clearance height even in the most demanding installation situations.
Thus, millions of door cycles with minimal “polygon effect” are possible even in tight spaces. The EFA-SST® N Premium not only fulfills the saying “time is money,” but also introduces a genuine innovation to the market that revolutionizes workflows in various areas.
