EFAFLEX are no strangers to the food processing, packaging and logistics industry. During their 40+ year history they have completed thousands of installations with a client base spanning across 50 countries and 5 continents, many within the food related supply chain.
Darren Turrell, Managing Director for EFAFLEX UK explains, ‘Foodex is an ideal exhibition for us. It’s an opportunity to meet existing customers who are already aware of the cost saving, performance and safety merits of our high-speed doors and also mingle with prospective clients too. We will be demonstrating three of our door options, as we feel it’s so important that people can see first-hand the speed with which they open. ‘4 meters per second’ might not sound that fast, but seeing it in action is impressive even to me after years of installations. Plus we want visitors to experience the feel of the door quality and then they can begin to appreciate how our doors can perform 250,000 operating cycles per year.’
Door speed aside, there are many unique features which have been developed to make EFAFLEX ideal for this sector. They are the only company to offer the first truly single leaf door solution for deep freeze areas. This provides exceptional door operating speeds and also the best insulation values for spiral doors, meaning a potential saving of 50% on heating costs when compared with other door solutions. This unique design enables heat transfer coefficients of as low as 0.62W/m2K in operational temperatures between +30ºC and -30ºC making it ideal for cold stores and loading areas. It is a delicate balancing act for chilled and frozen food processors; that of maintaining consistent temperatures, air purity, reducing the impact on ambient areas whilst of course maintaining productivity.
Many of the UK’s supermarket food processing and supply chain partners are becoming increasingly familiar with the benefits that EFAFLEX brings. They are the only company in the world to specialise in the design and manufacture of high speed doors for industrial and commercial applications. The patented S Series featuring its unique spiral design remains the unrivalled champion of speed; the world’s fastest vertically opening door.
Turrell summarized, ‘Reducing energy costs are fundamental to businesses, but movement of produce is essential. With our help, clients can create constant refrigeration in cold storage areas but with heat loss and energy costs being minimised.’
