Product Characteristics

Design and Construction

Roller doors are roll-up door products characterized by their practical and functional design. They feature a continuous curtain system that rolls up vertically using an integrated assembly of cables, drums, springs, and a torsion bar. The configuration can vary depending on specific clearances and headroom requirements for different installations.

The doors utilize a sophisticated lifting system with components including:

• Torsion bar for spring tension control
• Drums and axles for curtain rotation
• Cables for load distribution
• Springs providing counterbalance during operation
• Nylon bearing hubliner components that separate the drum and axle, allowing proper rotation during door operation
