The challenges facing today’s food and beverage industry are more complex and diverse than ever; temperature control, hygiene, speed of logistics, safety, while minimising the risk of incidents and ensuring timely deliveries. These are just some factors that companies juggle … daily. Thankfully with nearly 50 years’ experience, EFAFLEX have designed an array of high-speed interior and exterior industrial doors that provide a solution for every element along the supply chain journey.
How can EFAFLEX help
Downtimes are unwanted and costly. Reliability, versatility, and durability are some of the objectives cited by leading food producers; upgrading and replacing old roller shutters or sectional doors for energy saving, insulated, high speed alternatives, that also offer a multitude of activation choice such as remote control, or laser scanners. Thankfully, the combination of safeguarding users, speeding up logistics, and reducing energy costs are the key design factors built into every EFAFLEX product.
EFAFLEX UK Managing Director, Darren Turrell explains, ‘Facts such as our doors open at speeds of up to 4 metres per second are easy to say, but there’s nothing quite like seeing an EFAFLEX door in motion. The speed, the quality, and the durability can’t be translated into a picture or even a video. Returning to Foodex gives us the opportunity to demonstrate the product and discuss how our bespoke door options can help each and every customer.’
A one door solution for deep freeze areas
On their stand (B69) visitors will see three of the most popular models used in the food and beverage industry. The TK-100 thermal door is a unique one-door solution for deep-freeze areas as it delivers exceptional insulation properties and perfect for environments ±30°c. A practically hermetic seal that provides constant temperatures to prevent condensation or buildup of frost. The TK-100 is perfect for deep freeze and blast freeze zones.
Alternatively, the fabric, roll-up easy clean curtain (CRC) with its integrated design, encapsulating all but the curtain and control panel. Perfect for applications calling for the highest levels of hygiene for example within food processing.
The original and still the best
Move along to the production loading area or warehouse facility, and this is where the turbo spiral door comes into its own. Opening at speeds of up to 3 metres per second and capable of up to 200,000 operating cycles per year, it features 70% crystal clear acrylic glass laths for increased visibility, user safety and transfer of natural light. It also helps with noise insulation too!
Many of the high street supermarkets and their supply chain have come to rely on EFAFLEX with clients including drink producers, food manufacturers, and the latest trend – meal kit suppliers.
From field to fork, EFAFLEX have an industrial door solution for every step of this journey.
