Preventative maintenance is crucial to maintain the smooth and reliable operation of high-speed doors. By proactively addressing potential issues, unexpected and costly failures can be easily avoided, extending the service life and promoting more sustainable and energy-efficient operations.
High-speed doors are essential in both indoor and outdoor industrial applications, providing safe access for goods, machines and personnel. Therefore, the preventative maintenance of high-speed doors ensures not only smooth work processes and a lower risk of breakdowns but also more safety in the workplace.
High-speed doors are designed for various settings and are often specified in areas with stringent requirements for safety and hygiene such as the food industry, clean rooms, or proximity to large industrial machinery. In these sensitive environments, the reliable operation of high-speed doors is of paramount importance.
In many industries where high-speed doors are used, safety and hygiene regulations are very high. Regular inspections and checks of the door systems and their individual parts are crucial to ensure seamless operation without incidents. This proactive approach allows any weak points or advanced wear to be detected and rectified before they lead to time-consuming and costly high-speed door failures.
This way, the risk of unexpected downtime in your company is significantly reduced and operations can be maintained at all times without interruption.

Regular checks and inspections can pick up and rectify many signs of wear and tear before they cause actual problems. Even the most innovative technology is not immune to material fatigue and wear in its small parts and while these components may be small, they still play a decisive role in the smooth functioning of the high-speed doors.
Particular attention should be given to the numerous mechanical and electrical parts in this type of door, ensuring they are regularly and meticulously checked to maintain optimal condition. Materials such as rubber on various seals or the vibration damper as well as the flexible PVC or RollTex door curtains are exposed to great stress on a daily basis, which leads to increased wear and tear.
The pulse generator – whether mechanical or electrical – is responsible for the trouble-free opening and closing of the door and restricts the door function in the event of wear. Electrical pulse generators on the high-speed door should be replaced after 2,500,000 cycles, but no later than 10 or 5 years (for laser scanners).
