Model 012 Compact High-Speed Zipper Door
The Model 012 Compact High-Speed Zipper Door is engineered for high-frequency indoor passageways where rapid cycle times, compact structural footprints, and reliable environmental containment are essential.
Featuring a continuous zipper-guided track system, Model 012 creates a tight seal against internal air drafts, humidity, dust, and particulate contamination without relying on traditional wear-prone brush seals. With an opening speed up to 2.0 m/s and a closing speed of 1.2 m/s, paired with an elastic soft curtain containing zero rigid weights, this door enhances indoor logistics efficiency, safeguards personnel and products, and reduces facility HVAC energy loss.
Key Engineering Features
- High-Speed Indoor Cycle Times
- Opening speed up to 2.0 m/s | Closing speed: 1.2 m/s. Minimizes doorway transit times to streamline internal logistics and maintain consistent indoor zone separation.
- Automatic Breakaway & Self-Reinsertion Zipper System
- If the curtain is dislodged from its side guides due to an accidental collision, the zipper mechanism is designed to automatically reinsert during the next opening cycle, reducing the need for manual resetting and minimizing operational interruptions.
- Space-Saving Compact Frame & Roller
- Utilizes a compact Steel – Ø 102 × 2 mm roller barrel assembly, engineered to fit indoor partitions and doorways with restricted headroom and side clearances.
- Continuous Track Sealing Technology
- Replaces conventional blade and brush sealing systems with a sealed guide channel design, delivering certified Class 1 Air Permeability to restrict air movement and thermal transfer between departments.
- High Operational Safety Design
- Flexible Soft Curtain: The lightweight curtain contains no rigid metal bars, stiffeners, or heavy bottom weights, ensuring protection for personnel and passing cargo.
- Wireless Anti-Pinch Safety Edge: Positioned at the bottom profile to detect contact and reverse door movement upward.
- In-Track Photocells: Standard photoelectric sensors integrated inside the side guides monitor the doorway during movement.
- 1500W Frequency Inverter (VFD) Drive System
- The 1500W drive motor operates with variable frequency soft-start and soft-stop acceleration, helping provide smooth and controlled door movement while extending mechanical component life across its tested 1,000,000-cycle durability rating.
- IP55 Multi-Function Control Unit
- Supplied with an IP55-rated wall-mounted control box equipped with Open / Close / Stop pushbuttons, a master power switch, and expandable interfaces for interlocking, radar sensors, induction loops, and building management systems (BMS).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: If an accidental impact by a forklift or cart dislodges the curtain from its guide tracks, the zipper guidance system is designed to automatically re-feed the curtain edge back into the low-friction side guides during the subsequent upward opening cycle, reducing the need for manual resetting and minimizing operational interruptions.
A: Model 012 combines a fast closing speed of 1.2 m/s with continuous zipper track sealing, eliminating traditional brush seals that allow air gaps. This rapid closure shortens open-door duration and helps prevent dust, moisture, and conditioned air from migrating between rooms.
A: Model 012 is designed with a lightweight, flexible curtain structure completely free of rigid metal bottom bars. It features an integrated wireless soft safety bottom edge that reverses travel immediately upon contact, along with standard in-track photoelectric sensors that prevent closure if an obstruction is detected in the doorway.
A: Model 012 is supplied with a heavy-duty galvanized steel frame as standard. A high-grade stainless steel frame option is also available for facilities requiring enhanced corrosion resistance or washdown compatibility.
A: Yes. The IP55-rated VFD control unit includes configurable I/O terminals that support direct connection to radar motion sensors, induction floor loops, cleanroom interlock controllers, access control badge readers, and facility building management systems (BMS).
