Modern industrial doors for the highest standards.
Faster.
Secure.
More efficient.
Ever since it was founded in 1974, EFAFLEX has focused on innovative designs for high-speed industrial doors. During this time, we haven’t just repeatedly revolutionised the market for industrial doors, we have also consistently set the standards as a manufacturer of secure high-speed doors using premium German quality. Thanks to innovative engineering, we create technology that promises the highest levels of reliability, efficiency, durability, and security.
At the heart of many of our high-speed doors is the spiral door technology which we invented and continues to remain unrivalled, and where doors even with a width of up to 10,000 millimetres can achieve a door leaf speed of 1 m/s. Our fastest vertically opening high-speed door is able to achieve top speeds of more than 4 m/s. Whether it’s a spiral door, roll-up door or folding door, or a clean room door or machine protection door: all of the EFAFLEX doors are high-speed doors.

Advantages of EFAFLEX high-speed doors.
Speed
The fastest vertically opening door in the world comes from EFAFLEX. The EFA-STR® is a combination of a spiral door leaf support and a flexible curtain. It achieves opening speeds of up to 4 m/s.

Energy efficiency
With the EFA-SST®, EFAFLEX offers the world’s first high-speed door with thermally separated insulation laths as standard. Insulation values of up to 0.54 W/m2K are achieved as a result, depending on the door size.

There are several reasons why EFAFLEX high-speed doors move so fast and at the same time wear-free: the careful acceleration and decelerating by means of frequency converters or the support by spring packs or weights during opening are only two of the reasons. Due to the use of the EFAFLEX spiral, our doors of the S series are additionally guided in a wear-free manner.
There are two possibilities. You can either visit us at one of the numerous fairs – for information about fairs please go to “Fairs” on our website – or you can contact your competent EFAFLEX sales representative and visit one of our satisfied customers together with the sales representative in order to see the doors installed there.
The loss and gain of heat between the indoor and the outdoor area can be reduced to a minimum due to the short opening and closing times. In addition, the loss and the gain of heat if the door is in rest state can be kept as low as possible due to the excellent heat insulation properties of our EFA-THERM laths.
The U value, which is also called heat transfer coefficient, indicates the heat transfer through a single- or multilayer material layer when there are different temperatures on both sides. The value indicates the amount of energy which transfers an area of 1 m² per second if the air temperature on both sides differs stationary by 1 K. The bigger the heat transfer coefficient, the worse the heat insulation properties of the material. Thanks to the new EFA-THERM laths, our high-speed spiral door EFA-SST achieves U values up to 0.7 W/m²K (depending on the hanging).
This depends on the door type. In principle, the doors can be designed very individually as far as the colours are concerned. The laths of the EFA-SST can, for example, be powder-coated with almost every colour of the RAL system.
This depends on the door type. Some of our doors can be manufactured with a maximum width of 10 metres and a maximum height of 8 metres.
Our high-speed folding doors of the F series open horizontally. Thus, the complete clearance height is free for passing immediately .
Not always. Although there have already been some individual releases it very much depends on the case of application, the environment of the door as well as of the regional regulations. Before using a high-speed door as emergency exit, you should ask the door manufacturer for information as well as the testing facility.
EFAFLEX offers special solutions for special applications. The EFA-SST for example is available in a design which satisfies all requirements in connection with explosion-protected rooms. Another special design of the EFA-SST was developed so that it complies with all specifications in connection with laser beam bombardment.
In the case of a crash, crash systems reduce the damages caused by the crash. EFAFLEX offers you two different crash systems, depending on the door types.
1) EFA-ACS: the Active Crash System is used in our door types of the S series. During a collision in the lower area of the door leaf, the lower door leaf module is clicked out on both sides up to a height of 100cm. The hanging is then moved to the upper end position with reduced speed and runs on return guides on both sides. Thus, the inner and the outer hinges are joined with each other again fully automatically.
2) EFA-EAS: the lower part of the door leaf is pressed out of its guides on both sides. The door leaf and the closing edge can simply be reinstalled by operating the hand lever.
The maximum door leaf speed is the spped which can be achieved during opening. The standard, factory-set speed is, by contrast, the average speed with which the door opens normally. Due to the careful acceleration and deceleration (which is achieved by using a frequency converter), the acceleration is curve-like which results in an average speed.
In case of the automatic emergency opening, the door is moved to the upper end position after operating the hand lever, either by means of the elastic force of the springs or by means of weights. Thus, the door can also be opened and passed during a power failure.
This depends on the door type. Some of our doors, such as for example the EFA-SFT, can be equipped with an integrated pedestrian door. With other doortypes like the EFA-SST, flanking pedestrian doors in door blade design can be ordered. If you are interested these products, please contact your competent sales representative.
The new EFA-THERM laths are double-walled and thermally separated. Depending on the thickness of the laths (EFA-THERM laths are available with a thickness of 40, 60 and 80 mm), the doors archieve excellent heat insulation values up to 0.7 W/m²K. The EFA-THERM laths are available for our high-speed spiral door EFA-SST.
EFA-CLEAR laths are transparent laths made of acrylic glass. They are also available as double-walled and thermally separated version and can therefore contribute to the heat insulation of your door. The EFA-CLEAR laths are available for our high-speed spiral door EFA-SST.
The springs or the weights support the motor during opening the door. In addition, after operating the hand lever, they make it possible that the door can also be opened in the case of a power failure.
A frequency converter makes the door run more slowly in the end positions. The careful acceleration and deceleration ensures a nearly wear-free movement and therefore guarantees a longer service life of the doors.
