How long is the service life of the fast rolling door?

Enterprises in the procurement of fast rolling doors, in addition to focusing on the switching speed, sealing, and other properties, “fast rolling door can be used for how many years” is also an important consideration. Generally speaking, the quality of the rapid rolling door life between 8-15 years, but the specific service life is affected by several, factors, such as the door body material, frequency of use, environmental conditions and routine maintenance. This article will focus on the durability of the rapid door, industrial door maintenance, and service life extension of the three key words, analyze the life of the rapid rolling shutter door influencing factors, and provide effective measures to extend the service life.

The main factors affecting the life of the rapid rolling door

Material quality determines durability

Door curtain material: PVC door curtain is suitable for ordinary environment and is more resistant to aging; aluminum alloy door body is more resistant to impact and corrosion.

Frame structure: stainless steel and galvanized steel structure is more corrosion-resistant than ordinary steel, suitable for humid or chemical environment.

Motor quality: High-performance motors (e.g. German SEW or French SIMU brands) can withstand higher switching frequencies and have a service life of more than 10 years.

Frequency of use affects life expectancy

Fast door durability is closely related to the switching frequency. For example:

Low frequency use (<50 openings per day): service life up to 12-15 years;

Medium frequency use (50-200 times per day): service life of about 8-12 years;

High-frequency use (>200 times per day): life may be shortened to 5-8 years, but can be extended through regular maintenance.

The impact of environmental factors on the fast door

Indoor use: stable environment, moderate temperature and humidity, the aging speed of the door body is slower.

Outdoor use: wind and rain, ultraviolet rays and other external factors will accelerate the aging of the material, it is recommended to use wind-resistant fast door.

Special environment: such as food processing, cold storage or chemical plants, the door body needs to have low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, otherwise the life will be affected.

How to extend the service life of the fast rolling door?

Regular maintenance and inspection

Industrial door maintenance is crucial and recommended:

Check once a month whether the door curtain is broken, whether the motor runs smoothly;

Check the electric control system and limit switches once a quarter to avoid affecting the life span due to circuit problems;

Perform lubrication maintenance every six months to prevent wear and tear of tracks and rollers.

Correct use of the door body

Avoid hitting the door curtain with external force to reduce structural damage;

Try to avoid opening for a long time when the wind is strong;

Cleaning the dust on the track and door curtain regularly to improve the smoothness of opening and closing.

Choose durable accessories

Using high-quality motors and high-strength door curtains can reduce the risk of damage;

Choosing industrial-grade seals to improve the dust and moisture resistance of the door.

Conclusion: How to ensure the long life of the rapid rolling door?

The service life of rapid rolling doors is generally between 8 and 15 years, depending on the quality of materials, frequency of use, environmental conditions, and routine maintenance. If you want to extend the service life, it is recommended to choose high-quality materials, regular maintenance, and correct use of the door body. When purchasing, enterprises are recommended to consult professional rapid door durability manufacturers and pay attention to industrial door maintenance programs to ensure the long-term stable operation of rapid doors.
