Well-known industrial door and loading dock solutions specialist Maxiflex is committed to going the extra mile to deliver the best-fit product that ideally meets customers’ needs. When leading producer and exporter of citrus in the Eastern Cape, Endulini Fruit, required a certified air tight door for its steri room chambers, they approached Maxiflex. They in turn came up with a textbook solution – a standard panel sectional door with outstanding sealing capabilities.
Roger Pheiffer, Sales Executive at Maxiflex’s Port Elizabeth branch explains the client’s application: “The steri cooling process takes place in three chambers where optimal air tightness is essential. ASSA ABLOY’s overhead sectional door comes standard with a 4-way sealing which prevents any air from escaping from the chambers, making it the perfect solution. Furthermore, the unique way in which the panels interlock offers an additional sealing advantage.These exceptional sealing features ensure that optimal internal temperatures are maintained to prevent product spoilage.”
Pheiffer highlights that these smart designs deliver energy savings in terms of temperature control as well as assist in the prevention of dirt and dust ingress. He adds that additional seals are an option on these doors, depending on the degree of air tightness required by each specific application.
The flexible overhead sectional doors also offer a number of state-of-the-art features that deliver enhanced efficiencies and extended life span even in the most challenging environments. The corrosion-protected zinc-aluminium coated panels are built to stand the test of time and safeguard goods.
The doors were installed according to the producer’s installation requirements by Maxiflex, a certified ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems Distributor, in three days and well on time. According to Pheiffer, the doors will be serviced and maintained on a (at least) yearly basis.
