High-Speed Spiral Doors
Our high-speed spiral doors combine patented guidance technology with durable construction for opening speeds up to 4.0 m/s. These doors feature wear-free operation through spiral-shaped door leaf guidance, eliminating shaft winding. Available in multiple configurations including insulated, explosion-proof, and machine protection variants, they suit industrial applications requiring frequent access while maintaining energy efficiency and safety standards.
Roll-Up Doors
Designed for high-frequency logistics operations, our roll-up doors achieve 2.0 m/s opening speeds with manual emergency release functionality. The galvanised steel and stainless steel options include hygienic variants for clean rooms and explosion-protected models. Their space-saving vertical roll design suits narrow installations, while integrated safety features like light grids protect personnel and equipment in demanding environments.
Machine Protection Doors
Specialised machine protection doors provide automated access control for hazardous areas with 150,000-1,000,000 annual load cycles. The MS Series features impact-resistant construction and top-to-bottom opening mechanisms for heavy-duty industrial applications. These doors integrate with safety systems to prevent unauthorised access while maintaining operational efficiency in manufacturing and automation contexts.
Energy-Efficient Doors
Our EFA-SST Therm and EFA-SST Alux models deliver superior thermal insulation with U-values as low as 0.7 W/mK. Double-walled aluminium laths and thermally separated designs reduce energy consumption in temperature-controlled environments. These doors maintain high-speed performance while meeting strict energy efficiency standards for cold storage and climate-controlled facilities.
Custom Door Solutions
We provide bespoke door configurations with modular components for unique applications. From slanted end plates compensating uneven floors to custom curtain colours and printed designs, our engineering team develops solutions for challenging installations. This includes ATEX-compliant doors for explosive atmospheres and specialised variants for airport baggage handling systems.

Questions
What makes EFAFLEX spiral doors different from competitors?
Our patented spiral guidance system eliminates shaft winding, enabling faster speeds (up to 4.0 m/s) with reduced wear. This technology provides quieter operation and longer service life compared to traditional roll-up designs.
How do EFAFLEX doors improve energy efficiency?
Insulated lath designs like the EFA-SST Therm achieve U-values as low as 0.7 W/m²K. The spiral door's continuous seal around openings prevents air leakage, reducing heating and cooling costs by up to 30%.
What safety features are included?
Standard safety features include EFA-TLG light grids, spring break detection, and manual emergency release. Our doors comply with EN 12453 standards and have automatic obstacle detection to prevent accidents.
Can doors be customised for specific applications?
Yes, we offer modular customisation with options including slanted end plates, printed curtains, and ATEX-compliant explosion-proof models. Our engineering team develops bespoke solutions for unique installation requirements.
What service and maintenance support is available?
We provide 24/7 service support with trained technicians in 74 countries. Regular maintenance contracts include control unit checks, safety system testing, and wear component inspections to ensure optimal performance.
How long do EFAFLEX doors last?
Our doors are designed for minimum 20-year service life with 500,000 annual load cycles. The modular construction allows easy replacement of individual components, extending operational lifespan beyond 25 years with proper maintenance.
