For more than three decades, the company has been opening up new areas of application for the highly innovative potential of 3D printing.

Nine high-speed doors from EFAFLEX separat e t he dif f erent areas from one another in order to guarantee unmixed production.

After extensive research, the project management ordered four EFASST-L Secure RC 4, three EFA- SST-Efficient RC 2 and three EFA- SST-Essential from EFAFLEX , the manufacturer of special door systems Government documents of value are produced and stored in the plant For this reason, the entire facility is virtually the same as a high- security wing The incoming and outgoing goods, the warehouse and the production are protected with EFAFLEX security doors The doors for personal access are also designed to RC 4 and RC 2 standards.

Certified Security

The EFA- SST® Secure, certified according to Resistance Class 4 (RC 4), is considered to be the safest high- speed door in the world With this door, the company secures its production as much as possible without having to forego the speed of an efficient high- speed door. With a maximum size of W = 4,000mm, H = 5,000mm, the door opens at a speed of up to 1 0m/s and closes at up to 0 6m/s, which is another important security feature in addition to burglary protection Due to the high opening and closing speeds of the doors, no unauthorised persons can enter the building Therefore, these parameters were one of the most important criteria for the selection of these doors Because several million important securities and documents leave the factory every day and the doors are therefore in almost constant use, the reliability and low maintenance was a decisive advantage of the doors for the customer

Automatic locking mechanisms on both sides close the door securely with every opening cycle and make it an almost insurmountable obstacle Valuables are thus excellently protected The door Resistance Class 4 is confirmed by the certification according to DIN/TS 18194:2020 - RC 4 by ift Rosenheim

The company praises the functionality of the door systems and is also very satisfied with the service The doors were produced and delivered by EFAFLEX in a record time of five weeks, so that the customer ’ s tight deadlines were met, and the production of important valuable documents could start on schedule The first follow -up orders for other production sites are already being discussed
