A leading hazardous waste management plant had been using rolling steel doors at building entryways. These steel doors were allowing air from toxic environments to leak in and around the doors causing corrosion to the doors resulting in costly maintenance repairs. The steel doors were also being hit with frequent collisions and the plant was experiencing too much downtime.
New doors needed to be purchased. The company did not want to invest in more rolling steel doors that have such a short service life and need constant repair. In addition the air leaking in and around the doors was creating a safety hazard.
The Solution
Purchasing and installing a vertical lift fabric door – a MAXDoor – would tolerate a corrosive environment and greatly improve protection from toxic air. This door operates much faster than a steel door resulting in less toxic air escaping and less contaminants entering the building. The MAXDoor has a tight seal when closed. Repairs and downtimes are always an issue with steel doors, however a MAXDoor can take a hit and continue to operate until a minor repair can be made.
The Results
- Much improved safety for the waste plan and the workers
- MAXDoors seal tight allowing for better air circulation with less toxins
- Costly repairs and door downtime is drastically improved
- Service life of a MAXDoor is 20-25+ Years even in a toxic and corrosive environment
- A very satisfied customer!!
