In modern industrial plants, the pace of logistics circulation is constantly accelerating, placing higher demands on the configuration of doors at workshop entrances and exits. Increasingly, companies are no longer choosing a single type of industrial door, but instead opting for a combination of high-speed doors and sectional doors based on different usage frequencies and environmental conditions, to meet multiple requirements such as efficiency, safety, and energy conservation.
Why choose a combination of high-speed doors and overhead doors?
High-speed doors offer advantages such as high opening and closing frequencies, good sealing, and intelligent control, making them suitable for high-frequency logistics access points within factory premises, including workshop partitions, warehouse passages, and production line entrances and exits. Overhead doors, on the other hand, feature excellent wind resistance, theft prevention, and thermal insulation properties, making them ideal for low-frequency applications with higher structural strength requirements, such as factory facades and warehouse exterior doors.
By combining the two types of doors, they complement each other to form a comprehensive industrial door solution. This system can be operated flexibly based on time, purpose, and climate conditions, thereby maximizing resource utilization.
Application Scenarios
Logistics Park Entrances and Exits: The outer layer consists of overhead doors, while the inner layer is equipped with high-speed doors to achieve internal and external zoning and energy efficiency control.
Cold Chain Workshops: High-speed doors control airflow, while overhead doors enhance insulation.
Equipment Workshops: High-speed doors enable high-frequency passage, while overhead doors enhance security.
Actual case study of a multi-functional industrial door system
Take a Suzhou-based automotive parts manufacturing company as an example. The client had three requirements for the logistics entrances and exits between the loading area and the workshop interior:
High-frequency traffic during the day, requiring rapid response;
After closing at night, ensure security and theft prevention.
The equipment area requires insulation in winter and ventilation in summer.
The SEPPES team customized a multifunctional industrial door system for the client: electric lift doors were installed on the exterior facade to enhance insulation and security; PVC rapid doors were additionally installed on the inner side of the lift doors to accommodate the high-frequency entry and exit of AGVs and forklifts. The two doors are interconnected via a PLC system for seamless switching between different operational states.
Customer feedback: “The door system automatically opens and closes in daily operations, significantly reducing energy consumption and improving personnel and material circulation efficiency by over 30%.”
Core Advantages of the Combination of High-Speed Doors and Sectional Doors
Greater Energy Efficiency: High-speed doors reduce heat exchange, while lift doors enhance sealing and insulation;
Enhanced Safety: Dual protection, supporting nighttime closure and external force protection;
Intelligent Control: Integrated sensors, radar, ground magnetic detection, and remote control systems;
Low Maintenance Costs: Modular design for easy maintenance and extended service life;
Enhanced Entry/Exit Efficiency: Ideal for factories and warehouses with high-frequency access requirements.
Adaptability and Customization Options
SEPPES offers customers a variety of combination solutions, including:
Door Curtain Materials (PVC, aluminum alloy, anti-static)
Lifting methods (vertical lifting, standard lifting, high-position lifting)
Control systems (radar, remote control, card swipe, geomagnetic linkage)
Color and appearance (compatible with factory visual identification systems)
Conclusion
With the development of smart factories, doors are no longer single-function products but should be integrated into logistics systems for coordinated control. The combination of high-speed doors and overhead doors represents a rational and efficient systematic solution. Through composite industrial door solutions, multi-functional industrial door systems, and precise deployment tailored for high-frequency access doors, businesses can significantly enhance operational efficiency and management standardization.
