The commission
The industrial doors fitted to the Sedus Systems factory building were more than 20 years old and were no longer state-of-the-art as they still relied on mechanical springs (mechanical roller shutter system). Blumenbecker proposed replacing the doors with a new electrical roller shutter system. The contract involved de-commissioning and removing the old doors and supplying and fitting the new system.
Contract scope
The first step was to select a suitable door system that met the client‘s requirements and was in keeping with his price-performance ratio. The whole operation had to be planned in some detail in order to minimise the de-commissioning and installation costs, and disrupt the day-to-day routine of the Sedus plant as little as possible. Thorough work preparation and the deployment of a well-trained and technically skilled team of fitters ensured that the door change-over was completed in the shortest possible time. While the replacement system was identical in size to the old doors, the drive units were of quite a different design and featured directly-mounted drives and tubular drives with flange bearings. The entire commission was completed on schedule and the new doors went into operation without a hitch.
