Horizontal Roller Shutters

Horizontal rolling shutters. Available in various configurations, the design parameters are versatile, allowing the shutter to be incorporated within light wells or plant rooms, or used as special tank covers.

Prior to delivery, each shutter is assembled, pre-wired and factory-tested to eliminate commissioning problems.

Features and benefits:

• Curtain: the shutter curtain is constructed from curved section galvanized steels laths with malleable iron end locks. The laths are connected at each end to the heavy-duty drive chain, ensuring smooth running in the side guides. A bottom rail is fitted to provide complete closure.

• Shutter box: constructed from suitable carbon steel endplates, fitted with bearing wheels for roller and gears, with securing angles for bolting them to the floor. The sides of the box are clad with steel sheets to complete the assembly. The roller barrel onto which the curtain is coiled is mounted on a central shaft, which is retained in bearings and incorporates a patented constant tension spring mechanism to ensure even coiling.

• Side guides: fabricated from carbon steel plates designed for fitting to supporting balustrades or masonry sidewalls. A section of the guide top plate is removable for maintenance purposes.

• Electrical operation: the motor drive is designed to suit a 400 V, three-phase 50 Hz mains supply, which has instantaneous automatic changeover to standby generator (by others) in the case of power failure. Each shutter is provided with a control panel, incorporating a constant pressure close button, a momentary open button and an emergency stop button. The control panel is normally mounted onto the shutter box, and emergency manual operation is by a removable crank handle.

Applications:

Suitable to provide security compartmentation between floors of a shop or store where escalators, travellators or stairwells entail a floor aperture.
