High Speed Sliding Door — RAX Door Technology

01 · Overview

Ultra-Fast Horizontal Access

High speed sliding doors move horizontally along wall-mounted tracks, achieving opening speeds up to 5 m/s — among the fastest industrial door types available. Unlike vertical high speed doors that require overhead space for panel stacking, sliding doors move laterally, making them ideal for facilities with limited headroom or where overhead space is occupied by cranes, conveyors, or storage systems.

RAX manufactures high speed sliding doors with reinforced PVC or fabric curtains, heavy-duty lateral track systems, and servo motor drive. The horizontal sliding motion requires minimal headroom (approximately door height + 200 mm for the track housing). Wind resistance rated to Class 3 (700 N/m²) with reinforced side guides and bottom bars.

High speed sliding doors are ideal for clean rooms, food processing facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and any environment requiring ultra-fast access with minimal space requirements.

02 · Key Features

Engineered for Speed and Space Efficiency

Ultra-High Speed

Opening speeds up to 5 m/s — among the fastest industrial door types. Servo motor drive with encoder feedback for precise position control. Minimizes temperature exchange and contamination risk during each opening cycle.

Horizontal Sliding Design

Door moves laterally along wall-mounted tracks. Requires minimal headroom (door height + ~200 mm). No overhead space needed for panel stacking. Ideal for facilities with limited ceiling height or overhead obstacles.

Compact Footprint

When open, the door stacks to one or both sides of the opening. Single-slide configuration requires wall space on one side; bi-parting configuration splits to both sides for wider openings.

Hygienic Construction

Smooth curtain surfaces easy to clean and sanitize. Sealed track housings prevent dust accumulation. Suitable for clean room and food-grade environments. Optional stainless steel track components.

Safety Systems

Photocells, pressure-sensitive bottom edge, emergency stop. Compliant with EN 12453. Optional light curtains and safety edges on vertical sides for enhanced personnel protection.

Smart Control

PLC-based control with LCD display. Programmable speeds, delay times, partial opening. Remote operation and diagnostics. Integration with BMS, WMS, and clean room monitoring systems.

04 · Applications

Where High Speed Sliding Doors Excel

Clean Rooms

Ultra-fast operation (5 m/s) minimizes contamination risk during personnel and material access. Hygienic curtain surfaces easy to clean. Sealed track housings prevent dust accumulation. Maintains positive pressure in clean room environments.

Food Processing

HACCP-compliant hygienic design. Fast operation maintains temperature zones. Smooth surfaces resist bacterial growth. Optional stainless steel track components for washdown environments.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

GMP-compliant environments require minimal contamination risk. Ultra-fast sliding doors maintain clean room classification. Integration with clean room monitoring systems for pressure and particle control.

Limited Headroom Facilities

Basements, converted spaces, and facilities with overhead obstacles. Horizontal sliding requires only door height + 200 mm headroom. No overhead space needed for panel stacking.

High-Traffic Internal Divisions

Internal partitions between production zones, warehouses, and logistics areas. Ultra-fast operation supports high-frequency access without bottlenecking workflow.

Automated Production Lines

Integration with AGV systems and automated material handling. PLC control supports remote operation and diagnostics. Fast cycle times match production line speed.

06 · Compliance

Applicable Standards

EN 13241:2003+A2:2016

Core CE product standard for industrial, commercial, and garage doors. Covers both manual and powered doors. Requires Declaration of Performance (DoP) under CPR 305/2011.

EN 12453:2001

Safety requirements for powered doors. Specifies force limiting, safety devices, and control system requirements. High speed doors must comply with enhanced safety standards.

EN 12424:2000

Wind load resistance classification. Defines Classes 0–5. High speed sliding doors typically achieve Class 3 (700 N/m²) with reinforced construction.

CE Marking

Mandatory for export to EU/UK markets. RAX provides CE technical file and Declaration of Performance with every shipment.
