Model 010 All-Weather High-Speed Zipper Door
The Model 010 All-Weather High-Speed Zipper Door is engineered for high-frequency exterior and indoor/outdoor transitional openings subjected to strong wind loads and harsh weather conditions.
Built with a continuous zipper-guided track system, Model 010 eliminates conventional blade or brush seals to deliver superior weatherproofing against rain, snow, wind, and dust ingress. By pairing rapid opening speeds (up to 2.0 m/s) and fast closing speeds (1.2 m/s) with an impact-tolerant, self-repairing curtain, this door helps maintain facility thermal efficiency, protects interior working environments, and reduces maintenance-related downtime.
Key Engineering Features
- High-Speed Exterior Cycle Times
- Opening speed up to 2.0 m/s | Closing speed: 1.2 m/s. Rapid closing reduces exterior exposure time, limiting thermal exchange and draft penetration in high-traffic logistics bays.
- High Wind Resistance & Continuous Track Sealing
- Engineered to operate in high-wind environments, achieving Class 4 wind resistance at maximum size (5,500 mm × 5,500 mm) and up to Class 6 (or 1,000 N/m²) for dimensions up to 5,000 mm (W) × 5,500 mm (H). Continuous track guidance prevents air and water leakage without requiring wear-prone brush seals.
- Automatic Breakaway & Self-Reinsertion Zipper System
- If the curtain is dislodged from its side guides due to an accidental vehicle impact, the zipper mechanism is designed to automatically reinsert during the next opening cycle, reducing the need for manual resetting and minimizing operational interruptions.
- Soft-Edge Impact Safety Design
- Flexible Soft Curtain: The curtain assembly contains no rigid metal bars, stiffeners, or heavy ballast weights, reducing injury risk to operators and preventing cargo damage during accidental contact.
- Wireless Anti-Pinch Safety Edge: Integrated at the bottom profile to detect contact and reverse door travel upward.
- In-Track Photocells: Dual photoelectric sensors fitted inside the guide tracks monitor the opening during travel.
- Heavy-Duty 1500W Frequency Inverter (VFD) Drive
- Driven by a powerful 1500W motor with variable speed soft-start and soft-stop control, helping provide smooth and controlled door movement while extending mechanical component life across its tested 1,000,000-cycle durability rating.
- Intelligent Self-Diagnostic IP55 Control Box
- Supplied with an advanced, self-monitoring control panel equipped with Open / Close / Stop buttons, a power isolator switch, and expandable interfaces for interlocking, radar sensors, induction loops, and building management systems (BMS).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: Model 010 utilizes a continuous zipper-guided track system that secures the curtain along the full height of the C-channel guides. This configuration achieves certified Class 4 wind resistance at maximum size (5,500 mm × 5,500 mm) and Class 6 (up to 1,000 N/m²) for openings up to 5,000 mm (W) × 5,500 mm (H), preventing curtain blowout under severe wind pressure.
A: When an accidental collision forces the flexible curtain out of its side guides, the zipper design is engineered to automatically guide the curtain edges back into the C-channel profiles during the next upward cycle, reducing the need for manual resetting and minimizing operational interruptions.
A: The door combines tightly sealed polyethylene guide profiles with high-grade curtain welding, achieving Class 3 Water Permeability (EN 12425). This design provides a tight barrier against rain, snow, and dust ingress without relying on traditional blade or brush seals that degrade over time.
A: Exterior doors lose substantial conditioned indoor air during open cycles. A rapid closing speed of 1.2 m/s minimizes the duration the doorway remains open to outdoor weather, helping maintain internal climate stability and lowering HVAC energy costs.
A: Model 010 features a lightweight, flexible curtain structure completely free of rigid metal bottom bars. It is equipped with a wireless safety bottom edge that reverses door movement upon contact, alongside integrated in-track photoelectric sensors that prevent closure when an obstruction is detected in the doorway.
