Union industries, the UK market leading manufacturer of industrial rapid roll doors, is supporting a new temperature control system at JELD-WEN’s Cumbrian based operation.
The Leeds-based company, which designs, manufactures, installs and maintains its range of fast acting doors, has installed four of its heavy-duty Bulldoors to assist with a new process to ensure components stored in three warehouses are kept at the same temperature.
The JELD-WEN factory, located in Penrith, manufactures internal doors for domestic properties and also fire doors 24-hours-a-day, and the new process has been introduced to ensure its products are of an optimum production quality.
The fast operating speed of the Bulldoors plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the warehouses and meeting JELD-WEN’s temperature control targets.
Their speed of operation also reduces energy loss as the doorways are only exposed for a minimum time while components are transported between production areas.
The 3.4m wide x 3.6m high Bulldoors have an opening speed of 1.6 metres per second with automatic close and offer efficiency, security and, in keeping with all other Union Industries doors, extreme reliability.
In common with the other doors in the range, the Bulldoor also features Union’s highly-regarded ‘Crash-Out’ damage protection facility, which ensures the door remains operable if the heavy duty steel composite bottom beam is hit by a vehicle.
Andrew Taylor, Engineering Manager at JELD-WEN, said: “The Bulldoors have enabled us to operate an effective temperature control solution. They are very reliable and require minimal maintenance, which is essential in a 24-hour operation with a high level of productivity.
“The team from Union are very professional and have been a pleasure to work with. They understood the objective of the project and have delivered a solution we are very happy with.”
Steven Moultrie, Sales Engineer from Union Industries, said: “Temperature control, whether for energy saving or building integrity purposes, is a major challenge for warehouse and factory operators.
“However, our range of high speed doors offers an effective remedy that not only solves the issue, but provides additional benefits such as improved security and productivity. It was a pleasure to work with JELD-WEN and help them achieve their operational targets.”
