Hörmann Series 60 High Speed Industrial Doors –
Faster, Smarter, Safer
The Series 60 high-speed industrial sectional door from Hörmann UK, has been designed and developed to provide quality construction, high security, and easy installation. When fitted with the Hörmann WA 500 FU operator, the Series 60 can achieve an impressive door opening speed of up to 1 m/s making it the fastest sectional door on the market, helping speed up operations and reduce building heat loss.
Not only does the Series 60 door offer an exceptional opening speed, but optimised track radii and enlarged rollers result in up to 5 dB(A) quieter door operation together with improved stability, leading to low wear and smoother door travel. Easy fitting and maintenance are aided by reduced components and the provision of press-fitted screws, whilst transition sleeves provide a precise fitting of the track and radius. A unique, fibreglass reinforced plastic frame shoe protects the frame against encountering moisture on the floor and provides long lasting protection against corrosion.
Operator safety can be further enhanced by the inclusion of an in-line light grill which automatically stops the door if an obstruction occurs whilst the door is closing. The door is supplied factory-set to the optimum speed but can be easily adjusted and the speed varied to suit individual operational requirements.
The Series 60 door provides good thermal insulation values and with the addition of the Hörmann ThermoFrame can offer up to a 21% improvement in thermal performance over comparative doors. The ThermoFrame is easily fitted between the door frame and brickwork to form a thermal break. Together with enhanced seals on the side frame, lintel, floor and optional ribbing infill, the result is a door that will help keep energy losses to a minimum.
Flexible installation is ensured with the availability of more than thirty track applications resulting in a door that can be optimally matched to the requirements of a variety of building types. A new low headroom track system can provide full passage height with only 200mm of headroom required for installation. Ideal for both new build and refurbishment projects, the series 60 sectional door provides the ideal solution for logistics facilities, warehousing, car showrooms and workshops, emergency response buildings and collective garaging.
The set-up and commissioning of the Series 60 door is fast and simple via an innovative Bluetooth app. Accessible using either a mobile phone or tablet, the app provides users with friendly, easy to follow step-by-step instructions and also provides straightforward fault finding and diagnostic data. The SmartControl online portal means that the Series 60 can also be fully integrated into digital service and remote maintenance operations, minimizing downtime, lowering costs, and improving the overall efficiency of the door.
To achieve optimum opening speeds the Series 60 should be fitted with the Hörmann WA 500 FU operator which features soft-start and soft-stop for gentle, smooth door travel, and constant travel speed for both high-lift and vertical track applications.
