Revolution! EFAFLEX reduces "Polygon Effect" with Low-Drop Gate

Time is money. This proverb applies in many areas of our modern world. The inventors of the high-speed spiral door technology, EFAFLEX, are once again revolutionizing the door market by reducing the "Polygon Effect".

Every operator of door systems knows the problem when opening the door leaf of low-drop sectional doors. The individual components tend to bunch together in different ways into polygons before reaching the storage area. As a result, the door opens even more slowly and irregularly than before – during many openings per day, a lot of valuable time is lost. Not to mention the noise and the significant wear on guide rails and door leaf rollers.

But the EFA-SST® N Premium from EFAFLEX now puts an end to this. The high-speed door in low-drop design mitigates the "Polygon Effect" thanks to its patented technology. The reason for this lies in this innovative door construction in the transition section. There are two guide rails instead of just one, as is usual. This allows the rollers to be distributed intelligently across both options. The door essentially glides "seamlessly" through the curve.

Time savings through reduced "Polygon Effect"

The advantages of EFAFLEX's door innovation are enormous. Due to the smaller "Polygon Effect," the door speed can reach up to 2.0 m/s. Normal roller shutter applications only achieve around 1.0 m/s. Doubling the speed saves time in daily operation and ultimately saves money.

The smoother operation of the EFA-SST® N Premium due to the reduced "Polygon Effect" also reduces noise pollution for the environment. This makes handling the door easier for everyone involved – from the factory worker to the forklift driver in logistics.

400,000 load cycles per year possible

At the same time, the noise reduction and the resulting lower wear also ensure enormous durability, with up to 400,000 possible load cycles per year. An U-value of 1.6 W/m2K also characterizes the EFA-SST® N Premium.

Less stress on the door leaf and structural parts also means less maintenance and fewer repairs, resulting in lower operating costs. EFAFLEX's in-house service supports door operators both digitally and personally, providing the best solution for every requirement.

EFAFLEX low-drop door ensures maximum clearance height

This begins right at the installation, as EFAFLEX offers its customers maximum flexibility in the size of high-speed doors. The EFA-SST® N Premium is the ideal solution for tight height conditions. It guarantees maximum clearance height even in the most demanding installation situations.

Millions of door cycles with minimal "Polygon Effect" are possible even in the tightest spaces. The EFA-SST® N Premium not only fulfills the proverb "Time is money," but also introduces a real innovation to the market that revolutionizes processes in various fields.
