Door solutions from item – countless options for applications in industry, mechanical engineering, and cleanrooms
When it comes to selecting a suitable door solution, there are various aspects to consider, such as accessibility, the space in front of the access point, the height-to-width ratio, cycle times and environmental conditions. You are sure to find the right door for every application right here.
Swing doors
Swing doors offer a simple means of accessing processes and spaces. They are fastened to profile frames using hinges. Swing doors are simple to construct, easy to seal and open up the entire aperture.
Sliding doors
Since sliding doors don’t swing out from their aperture, they are particularly space saving in the direction of travel through the door. Sliding doors are particularly suitable for wide access points in mechanical engineering applications. Other advantages include good weight distribution and guidance.
Lifting doors
These doors – often used in machine guards and enclosures – can be operated either manually or by an electric motor. Vertical doors like these are perfect when it is important to stick to set cycle times in automated processes.
Folding doors
When space is tight in an industrial environment, these doors are the optimum solution. Folding doors from item offer a simple means of integrating access to processing machines and maintenance areas.
Roller doors
Roller doors provide an excellent access solution because they don’t take up any additional space when opened. They are space-saving, and are invisible when opened. Shutters doors are especially suitable for use on cabinets.
Access doors
Ideal when building larger constructions, the item Access Door has an all-round seal and can be used from either side. An all-round rebate and automatic drop-down seal ensure that working areas are reliably separated.
From component to solution
Modular profile technology from item opens up a whole range of opportunities when it comes to designing doors for industrial applications. But what parts are used to assemble and install door solutions? How exactly do all the various components work together? Find out now by looking at some examples – swing doors, sliding doors and lifting doors.
Swing doors
Swing doors are often used in machine cabins and enclosures. You can use construction profiles from a whole variety of item product lines to build swing doors with ease. The door itself and its frame are usually built from the same product line.
Swing doors are very stable and can be fitted with an all-round seal. When constructing a door leaf, numerous panel elements in the item Building Kit System can be used as panels. You can choose from materials such as polycarbonate, solid plastic and acrylic glass.
Sliding door for mechanical engineering applications
Door solutions can also be retrofitted to existing constructions. When building sliding doors, for example, the especially light and slim item Clamp Profile 8 32x18 is a great basis. Start by using Clamp-Profile Fastening Set 8 32x18 to construct a frame. You can clip appropriate rollers into the corner fasteners. The end result is a frame with smooth-running sliding door elements that you can also retrofit to constructions.
Profiles 8 40x40 can be used to build large sliding doors for machinery and racks. Corner-Fastener with Roller 8 40x40 creates a stable profile connection and features an adjustable roller element that uses the Line 8 groove of the profile frame as a guide. Coordinated accessories make it easier to assemble complete solutions.
Lifting doors
The item lifting door is available as a customised solution or a complete system with coordinated components. The all-in-one system comprises vertical lifting guides, door hanging system, counterweight, drive and arrester mechanism. The door itself is custom-made, comprising a frame made of Line 6 profiles and the panel element of your choice.
To keep it running smoothly, the lifting door uses a chain and counterweight that are concealed entirely within the profile construction. This prevents the risk of injury associated with moving parts. An arrester mechanism stops the door from dropping down if a fault occurs.
