Apex Strip Curtains & Doors  (0.05 MB)

Company Announcement - Apex SR 9000 insulated impact traffic doors from Apex Strip Curtains & Doors have found a niche in discerning market sectors where dependable operation coupled with a consistently attractive appearance are important factors. These traffic doors are not only engineered to ensure safety and ruggedness, but also manage to blend into any environment as a result of their sleek, modern design. “Our engineers carefully assessed the optimum design elements required in the harshest conditions to produce this popular locally manufactured door,” Wim Dessing, Managing Director of Apex Strip Curtains & Doors, says. “It is important that traffic doors combine functionality with longevity. In areas where the movement of pedestrians and goods is particularly high, consideration of the durability of the door needs to be balanced with its ability to provide an unhindered flow of traffic.”

The Apex SR 9000 insulated impact traffic door is available in a choice of six colours and is manufactured from a 3 mm ABS skin that retains its physical properties at a temperature of minus 40°C, which means it is ideal for walk-in cold rooms. The low maintenance skin is impervious to moisture, acids, petroleum products, animal fats, rodents, insects and salt solutions. The door’s insulation characteristics are enhanced further by internal design elements such as the injection of a high density, non CFC urethane foam into the hollow shell of the door. Standard vision panels, constructed from 3 mm clear polycarbonate sheeting, are available in a number of custom sizes and are also scratch resistant and UBC compatible for enhanced visibility.

To prevent excessive wear on the perimeter edge of the door, the door panels are bull nosed with a minimum radius of 8 mm. This not only reduces maintenance on the doors, but the resultant seal ensures that energy flow between different areas is minimised for enhanced environmental control. The doors are mounted on an internal welded steel perimeter with corner gussets, using a CMI type ‘V’ gravity hinging system. Gasket keys are moulded in place and retain gasketing without the use of screws, rivets or other fasteners. High bumpers are also fitted to the door panel to further absorb impact from forklift trucks and carts, which also reduces stress on hardware and mount assemblies.

Apex Strip Curtains & Doors has developed a range of products to suit all applications. Each product range can be customised to suit specific opening requirements, based on a number of predetermined criteria such as productivity, environmental control and employee comfort. It has a network of agents throughout South Africa that offer technical and installation support in addition to prompt delivery times.

IMPACT TRAFFIC DOORS PIC 01: Apex SR 9000 impact traffic doors blend into any environment due to their sleek, modern design.

IMPACT TRAFFIC DOORS PIC 02: In areas where there is a high movement of goods and pedestrians, consideration of the durability of the Apex SR 9000 impact traffic doors needs to be balanced with the need to provide an unhindered traffic flow.
