High speed door solution provides wind resistance
November 1st 2008

Lloyds Animal Feeds' mill in Shropshire is benefitting from an Ardent high speed door manufactured, supplied and installed by Klimate High Speed Doors. The need to control the build up of wind through the extended loading bay and maintain a hygienic working environment led to the decision to install the door.

Mark Roberts from Lloyds had to ensure that any investment would assist in any environmental issues around airborne particles and pollution. After researching the various options available, the solution was to invest in a high speed door.

"The Ardent high speed door has proved to have excellent wind resistance and was the most likely to meet both the wind and pollution criteria," comments Mark Roberts.

With adjustable opening and closing speeds of up to 2m/sec, depending on the size of the door, the fast acting operation of the Ardent range allows an uninterrupted flow of traffic and also acts as a wind barrier, helping reduce heat loss to provide valuable energy savings.

Thanks to the simplistic nature of the door and the fact that Klimate engineers can train the customer's own maintenance personnel on the workings of the door, any minimal maintenance work can be quickly and easily undertaken in-house, drastically reducing on-going costs. Also, having a technical support team means that any simple fault can be resolved via a phone call, minimising repair and maintenance costs.
