Lightweight door for heavy traffic

The Apex SR 9000 door is engineered to be lightweight but robust

An insulated traffic door that aims to facilitate ease of access into and out of areas in the workplace, is engineered to withstand heavy traffic and impact, while maintaining its aesthetic features over years of service.

The fully gasketed heavy duty impact swing door is locally manufactured by Apex Strip Curtains & Doors and can be customised to meet specific requirements. It is designed to be lightweight but robust, requiring minimal maintenance.

The company asserts that the Apex SR 9000 door’s patented ‘honeycomb’ framework and flexible urethane foam insulation ensures optimum stability. In addition, soundproofing qualities are achieved by injecting high density non-CFRC urethane core into the hollow shell of the door.

The door is fitted with high bumpers to further absorb impact from ride-on vehicles and carts and also helps to reduce stress on hardware and mount assemblies.

The perimeter edges on the door panels are bull nosed with a minimum radius of 8 mm to prevent excessive wear on the edges and the seal is designed to complement the insulated core and reduce energy flow between environments.

The 3 mm ABS outer facing of the Apex SR 9000 door is available in a variety of colours. It is engineered to be impervious to moisture, acid, petroleum products, salt solutions, animal fats and insects and is said to retain its physical properties in temperatures as low as minus 40 ºC and is designed to be chip, dent, peel, pit and corrosion resistant.

All Apex Strip Curtains & Doors products are manufactured in accordance with international standards using materials that comply with stringent hygiene and safety criteria.
