WHAT IS A SPEEDROLLER?
Novoferm SpeedRollers are particularly fast-running electrically driven doors. The fast opening and closing, without obstructing traffic, ensures that draughts have no chance. This has numerous advantages for you:
- A COMFORTABLE INDOOR CLIMATE:
The door is closed before draughts can occur. Warm air stays in the building, cold air cannot get in. The climate in your building is much easier to maintain. - YOU NEED SIGNIFICANTLY LESS ENERGY,
to maintain the temperature in the building, resulting in considerable cost savings. - REDUCED SICKNESS:
As draughts are virtually eliminated and the indoor temperature is always comfortable, your employees are less likely to fall ill. - EFFICIENT:
Unauthorised persons are kept out, while your employees can go about their work unhindered. Ideal for retail and logistics! - COMFORTABLE:
By skilfully arranging and intelligently sequencing the operation of your SpeedRollers, you can control access to individual areas of your building and the routing. - AN ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGE
lies in the sound-absorbing effect of the doors. Noise from neighbouring areas is perceived as significantly less disturbing. - AWIDE RANGE OF CHOICES IS AVAILABLE FOR OPERATION, DESIGN AND COLOUR.
Even photo printing is possible. There is a suitable SpeedRoller for every application.
CONSTRUCTION
[1] The door curtain consists of a synthetic fabric with polyester reinforcement.
When opening, the curtain is rolled up on the shaft [2] above the door opening.
[3] The sturdy tracks are made of sendzimir galvanised steel profiles. The integrated side seals are specially adapted to the respective application and ensure draught-free guidance of the door curtain. The tracks, shaft and brackets form a stable pre-assembled construction.
[4] The closing edge of the door curtain consists of either a fixed HardEdge or a flexible FlexEdge end strip. Various options are available for reinforcing the door curtain.
[5] Viewing windows or transparent sections are also possible. Each option has its own advantages.
[6] CONTROL/OPERATION
The door is equipped with control buttons (up/stop/down) as standard. The control system offers numerous functions, for example:
- Setting opening time, opening height and maintenance height, stop at half height, etc.
- Numerous options are available for controlling the SpeedRoller, such as radar motion detectors, remote control, traffic lights, interlock control and many more.
[7] DRIVE
Each SpeedRoller is driven directly by an electric geared motor. The drive can be located on the left or right.
Depending on your requirements and ratios, we will create the most suitable combination of drive and control for you so that you can always rely on an optimally functioning SpeedRoller.
SAFETY
Novoferm SpeedRollers are secured as standard with a roll-off protection and a safety light barrier. This fully secures the passageway up to a height of 2,500 mm.
HOW DOES A SPEEDROLLER WORK?
The following illustration shows how energy is lost through air currents in a conventional door [A], while the SpeedRoller from Novoferm [B] has already closed again before such air currents occur.
THE HEAT LOSS THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR IS ALWAYS MANY TIMES GREATER THAN THAT THROUGH HEAT CONDUCTION OR LEAKS IN A CLOSED DOOR.
Research has shown that the temperature in a building or room with an open door drops very quickly, depending on the outside temperature and the type of building. This means that the inside temperature drops much less when the door is only open for a short time. Furthermore, there are far fewer draughts if the door closes again quickly.
Studies by the Technical University of Munich have shown that by using high-speed doors and avoiding long opening times, the additional heating requirement
can be reduced by up to 30 %!
Even greater savings can be achieved by installing an airlock; the indoor climate can be improved by up to 90 %.
WITH A SPEEDROLLER, YOU CAN KEEP THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE CONSTANT AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE YOUR ENERGY COSTS!

SPEEDROLLER IN PRACTICE
The multifunctional high-speed doors from Novoferm are suitable for use in practically all sectors. The specific design of a door therefore depends heavily on the application and operating conditions. Our standard range includes solutions for most situations, but we also offer customised solutions for special applications.
INDUSTRIE
There are numerous applications for draught prevention in light and heavy industry.
Our products are easy to install, extremely reliable in operation and require virtually no maintenance.
So you can always rely on smooth and safe operation.

RETAIL TRADE
In a supermarket, the shelves must always be well stocked, which requires intensive traffic between the warehouse and sales area.
For this reason, a high-speed door is often used to separate the sales floor from the warehouse. It opens and closes automatically and quickly, is safe for staff, is particularly quiet and also takes up very little space.
Novoferm's regular customers include well-known European retail chains for whom we have developed customised doors.

FOOD
Novoferm is completely at home in the food industry.
In Europe, we have been working with large and well-known companies in food production and processing for many years.
We also work closely with suppliers of cold storage facilities.
In our experience, not only are materials such as stainless steel and strict hygiene requirements of great importance in this sector, but there is also a demand for customised solutions that often revolve around cost efficiency and an uninterrupted production process.

AUTOMOBILINDUSTRIE
In a typical automotive plant, an average of 1,000 vehicles are produced every day. This requires a large flow of goods, for which punctual delivery is of crucial importance. For this reason, particularly high demands are placed on the reliability of doors.
Novoferm offers products that function reliably over the long term under the prevailing conditions. Novoferm also offers various maintenance and service contracts. So you can always rely on undisturbed operation.

PHARMACY AND CHEMISTRY
In the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, high demands are placed on hygiene, tightness, reliability, user-friendliness and smooth customer service.
Novoferm offers customised solutions for the requirements of these industries and invests a lot of time and money in training its own production staff and fitters. All our mechanics and partner companies for installation are fully certified to be able and authorised to work in strictly regulated environments.

LOGISTICS
Products must reach the end customer as quickly and efficiently as possible after completion. European companies therefore like to work with large distribution centres that take care of storage and shipping. Gates in these logistics chains have to open and close many times a day.
But a good product alone is not enough! Even the best product can sometimes malfunction under intensive use. Preventive maintenance can minimise this to the absolute minimum.
Novoferm therefore offers various options for maintenance and service contracts.

WHICH OPTIONS MAKE SENSE IN YOUR CASE?
There are various options to customise your SpeedRoller to your requirements and wishes.
HERE IS AN OVERVIEW:
FREQUENCY-CONTROLLED DRIVE
A control unit with a frequency regulator ensures that the door operator runs at an optimum speed. The movement of the curtain starts slowly. It then accelerates rapidly before decelerating again in a controlled manner.
Avoiding strong accelerations and decelerations extends the service life of the door. In heavy traffic, this is the ideal option for getting the most out of your SpeedRoller.

SAFETY
Novoferm SpeedRollers comply with all international safety standards as standard.
Additional safety features are available on request, for example for very fast forklift trucks or for very sensitive goods that cannot withstand a collision with a HardEdge closing edge, we offer a FlexEdge bottom beam.
When the door is open, a light curtain offers maximum safety, but there are also options that combine safety and control, such as motion sensors.

HARDEDGE ODER FLEXEDGE?
A HardEdge closing edge is rigid and firm and can withstand high wind pressures. A FlexEdge closing edge is the better choice for a smaller door that is continuously passed by people or sensitive goods.
An unintentional collision with the door curtain is completely painless with a FlexEdge closing edge, and there is no risk of damage to sensitive objects.

VERSIONS FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY
In the food industry, dirt accumulation must be prevented at all costs.
It must be possible to clean everything quickly and easily, for example with a high-pressure cleaner. Doors with stainless steel tracks, encapsulated hinges and special sealing profiles are available for this purpose.
This prevents dirt from accumulating in the hinges and brush seals.


WHICH COLOUR WOULD YOU LIKE?
SpeedRollers with one-piece door curtains can be customised with your logo.
Your logo?
An attractive photo of your company premises, the surrounding area or your product?
Several well-known supermarket chains use printed SpeedRollers as standard to influence the atmosphere in the sales area and convey the corporate image.

WINDLOAD OPTIMISER
The WindLoad Optimiser significantly increases the wind resistance of the door through various intelligent measures.

EASYREPAIR
With the EasyRepair end pieces, a door segment that has popped out can simply be clicked back into the guide without tools.

With the SelfRepair option, the door segment is automatically returned to the guide after a collision.
EasyReplace makes it easier to replace large components
