As a renowned industrial door and loading dock solutions specialist, Maxiflex is committed to going the extra mile to deliver the best-fit product that ideally meets customers’ needs. When leading producer and exporter of citrus in the Eastern Cape, Endulini Fruit, required a certified air tight door for its steri room chambers, they approached Maxiflex, who came up with a textbook solution — a standard panel sectional door with outstanding sealing capabilities.

Roger Pheiffer, Sales Executive at Maxiflex’s Port Elizabeth branch explains the client’s application: “The steri cooling process takes place in three chambers where optimal air tightness is essential”. ASSA ABLOY’s overhead sectional door comes standard with a 4-way sealing which prevents any air from escaping from the chambers, making it the perfect solution.

Furthermore, the unique way in which the panels interlock offers an additional sealing

advantage. These exceptional sealing features ensure that optimal internal temperatures are maintained to prevent product spoilage. Pheiffer highlights that these smart designs deliver energy savings in terms of temperature control as well as assist in the prevention of dirt and dust ingress. He adds that additional seals are an option on these doors, depending on the degree of air tightness required by each specific application.
