• PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

Curtain

- Curtain: The curtain shall be a combination of alternating "Solid aluminum slat section" and "Lexan aluminum panel section". Lexan part of the curtain construction consists of aluminum panels extruded in continuous lengths of 6063-T6 anodized aluminum, cut to specific sizes for proper design and operation, interlocked alternately with solid Lexan (poly-carbonate) panels to form curtains. Aluminum Roll-Up Door part of the curtain construction consists of extruded aluminum in continuous lengths of anodized 6063-T6 grade, dual-faced configuration, interlocked to form curtains.
- Gauge: Aluminum slat thickness shall be no less than 16 gauge and no more than 8 gauge on each side of dual-faced slats. Dual-faced aluminum panels shall have thickness of 16 gauge on each face. Lexan panels shall have thickness, where it is the minimum, of 0.15625" and, where it is the maximum, of 0.40625".
- Endlocks: To accomplish slat alignment and serve as a wearing surface endlocks are fitted to each end of alternate slats.
- Anodizing: All aluminum parts are anodized. Mill finish and shiny bright-dip anodized finish is also available.

Bottom Track

Curtain is reinforced with an extruded 6063-T6 aluminum tube that can be further reinforced for wider openings.

Guide and Wall Angle Assembly

- Guides/Wall Angles: Extruded aluminum channels at both sides shall serve as guides. Wall Angles shall be either aluminum or steel with minimum thickness of 1/8". Structural steel tubes can be used in lieu of wall angles. Guide weatherstripping on inside and outside shall be provided.
- Depth of Guide: To be of appropriate size to allow slat penetration and to restrict horizontal slat movement.

Bracket Plates

- Bracket Plates: To support the curtain and the counterbalance, the bracket plates shall be provided with minimum thickness of 1/4".
- Drive End Bracket Plate: The bracket plate on the drive end is to be fitted with a sealed ball bearing.

Spring Counterbalance

- Counterbalance: Housed in a steel pipe, maximum deflection of 0.03" per foot of door width is achieved by having the appropriate diameter and wall thickness.
- Springs: Helical torsion with a 25% overload factor for ease of operation and are greased packed mounted on a cold rolled steel inner shaft.
- Spring Tension: Can be adjusted from outside of end bracket plate.

HOODS

- Hoods: To completely enclose curtain and counterbalance, hoods shall be provided from #24 U.S. Gauge galvanized steel.
- Reinforcing: Can be reinforced laterally to prevent sag.
- Intermediate Hood Supports: Provided where door width exceeds 16'.
