Shorter opening times help limit air exchange between spaces or between the building and the outside environment, helping to reduce heat loss.

Dimensions and Installation of High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC)

High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) are available in the following sizes (width × height):

300 × 300 cm — 3 × 3 m

300 × 400 cm — 3 × 4 m

400 × 400 cm — 4 × 4 m

500 × 500 cm — 5 × 5 m

The doors can also be made to measure to fit your opening. The listed dimensions do not represent the minimum or maximum possible sizes; the suitability of other dimensions is assessed for each building.

Before selection and installation, we check:

✓ The opening width and height, along with the available headroom and side clearance.

✓ The conditions for securing the support structure.

✓ Internal or external installation.

✓ Opening frequency and the expected number of daily cycles.

✓ The type and size of material handling vehicles that will pass through the doors.

✓ Temperature conditions and exposure to wind.

✓ The preferred activation method and sealing requirements.

At KIP KOP, we prepare a suitable configuration based on dimensions, photographs and operating conditions. The required installation space and fixing method are determined for the specific door size and building.

Safety and Opening Options for High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) 

High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) are equipped with infrared safety sensors. If a sensor detects a person, vehicle or other obstacle during closing, the control system stops the downward movement and triggers reopening. The safety system uses a 24 V DC power supply.

We adapt the opening method to traffic and operations within the facility:

✓ Inductive or magnetic loop: detects an approaching vehicle and triggers automatic opening; a practical solution for forklift traffic.

✓ Wall-mounted push button: opens the door at the press of a button beside the passageway.

✓ Manual switch: operates the door via a dedicated switch.

✓ Remote control: triggers opening from a distance.

✓ External contact or signal: opens the door on command from a connected device.

✓ Integration with automation systems: incorporates door operation into the facility’s workflow.

When selecting the activation method, we consider whether the passageway is mainly used by pedestrians, forklifts or other vehicles. The inductive loop detects vehicles; the safety sensors provide protection when an obstacle is detected during closing.

Materials Used in High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) 

High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) combine PVC-coated polyester fabric, galvanised steel and anodised aluminium. Each material is selected according to the function of the door component.

✓ Industrial polyester fabric with a double-layer PVC coating: forms the flexible curtain that closes the opening and rolls up above it when the door opens.

✓ Reinforced galvanised steel: forms the supporting frame, providing structural stability. Galvanising protects the steel against corrosion.

✓ Galvanised sheet steel: forms the system’s upper protective cover.

✓ Anodised aluminium: used for the horizontal curtain reinforcements and other aluminium components. Anodising provides surface protection for the aluminium.

ALUMINIUM REINFORCEMENTS FOR GREATER STABILITY

The curtain incorporates horizontal aluminium reinforcements that increase its rigidity and stability. 

Technical specifications of the aluminium reinforcements:

• Minimum wall thickness: 2.5 mm.
• Minimum overall profile thickness: 15 mm.
• Minimum profile width: 58 mm.

The aluminium reinforcements increase the door’s resistance to wind loads and provide more stable operation, including at larger door sizes.

The aluminium reinforcements are designed for wind speeds of approximately 30 m/s. However, the final permissible wind load always depends on the door dimensions, installation method and conditions at the specific building.

ROBUST GALVANISED STEEL STRUCTURE

The supporting structure of KKSOFT high-speed doors is made from reinforced galvanised steel.

• 140 × 130 mm.

PVC Curtain and Maintenance of High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC)

The KKSOFT PVC curtain is designed for intensive industrial use. It offers good mechanical resistance, along with resistance to environmental factors and UV radiation.

✓ High-frequency welded seams: create strong, uniform and neatly finished joints between individual curtain sections.

✓ Sectional design: localised damage generally does not require replacement of the entire curtain; only the damaged section can be replaced.

✓ Easier repairs: replacing an individual section can reduce repair costs and shorten servicing time.

Partial replacement is particularly useful for passageways with heavy vehicle traffic, where localised curtain damage may occur. The scope of the repair is determined by the location and extent of the damage.

Servo Drive for High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) 

High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) are equipped with a Powever servo motor and a separate gearbox. The drive enables precise motion control and rapid response during frequent industrial use.

Drive specifications:

✓ Motor power: 0.75–1.5 kW.

✓ Power supply: 380 V / 50 Hz.

✓ Drive operating temperature range: approximately −30 °C to +50 °C.

✓ Integrated brake: holds the door in position when the power supply is interrupted.

✓ Emergency opening: manual opening is available in the event of a power failure.

Servo technology enables precise positioning, smooth acceleration and soft stopping. This reduces mechanical stress and contributes to quieter system operation.

The stated temperature range applies to the drive system. The suitability of the complete door for the temperature conditions at the facility is checked when selecting the configuration.

Structure and Reinforcements of High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) 

The KKSOFT system features a reinforced supporting frame and horizontal aluminium reinforcements integrated into the PVC curtain. These increase curtain rigidity and stability, contributing to more stable operation at larger door sizes.

Structural component dimensions:

✓ Main supporting frame: at least 140 × 130 mm.

✓ Aluminium reinforcement wall thickness: at least 2.5 mm.

✓ Overall reinforcement profile thickness: at least 15 mm.

✓ Reinforcement profile width: at least 58 mm.

✓ Main drive shaft diameter: 30 mm.

The modular structure provides access to individual components during maintenance and servicing. Components are joined using standardised bolts, rivets and other mechanical fasteners, allowing installation without on-site welding.

Sealing and Wind Loads of High-Speed Roll-Up Doors KKSOFT (PVC) 

Side brush seals and a weighted, flexible bottom edge help reduce draughts and the entry of dust, insects and other contaminants. The curtain’s bottom edge can accommodate minor floor irregularities, while the seals reduce air exchange between separate areas.

Wind load specifications:

✓ Basic declared wind resistance of the curtain: 180 N/m².

✓ Horizontal aluminium reinforcements: increase curtain stability; their stated resistance is for wind speeds of up to approximately 30 m/s.

These figures refer to different parts of the system and do not represent equivalent wind resistance ratings for the complete door. The final permissible wind load depends on the door dimensions, installation method and conditions at the building.

For external installation, we check:

✓ The opening size and building orientation.

✓ Wind exposure and building height.

✓ Local wind conditions.

✓ The fixing method for the supporting structure.

At KIP KOP, we assess site conditions before specifying the configuration for more demanding external installations.
