Single skin roller shutters are a popular choice for industrial units due to their durability, affordability, and ease of operation. These shutters are constructed with a single layer of material, typically galvanized steel or aluminum, providing a reliable barrier against the elements and potential intruders.
One of the most common methods of operating single skin roller shutters is through a hand chain. A hand chain is attached to the shutter and allows for manual operation by pulling or winding it up or down. While this method is simple and cost-effective, it may not be suitable for large or heavy shutters, as it can require significant physical effort.
For larger and heavier shutters, motorized options are available. 240v direct drive motors are a popular choice for industrial applications, offering a convenient and efficient way to operate the shutter. These motors are powered by a standard 240v supply and are directly connected to the shutter shaft, providing smooth and reliable operation. For even larger and heavier shutters, three phase motors may be necessary. These motors require a three-phase power supply and are capable of handling heavier loads, making them ideal for industrial applications with large roller shutters.
Available as a standard galvanised silver finish or can be powder coated any colour required.
Manually operated ‘hand chain’ roller shutter doors
Ideally suited to industrial applications, the shutter is manually raised via a continuous haul chain which drives the fully sprung counter balanced roller barrel assembly. The roller barrel assembly is suspended by mild steel end plates that are either independently fixed from the side guides or with full length ‘flag-post’ angles to which the side guides are also secured. The spring assisted roller barrel is driven by a hand chain wheel mounted either directly at one end of the tube or via a series of reduction gears, dependant upon the size of the door.
Electrically operated ‘industrial’ roller shutter doors
Ideally suited for industrial applications that require frequent usage. Operated by a 3 phase 415 volt electric motor in lieu of the hand chain wheel drive mechanism. The standard actuation method is via an up, down and stop push button station. A manual override continuous haul chain is provided for use in the event of a power failure. A single phase 240 volt option is available where site conditions dictate
Wicket doors
Installed on either side of the shutter a wicket door provides safe and secure pedestrian access through the roller shutter door when lowered. The whole assembly is independently side hung and swings clear when the roller shutter door requires raising. On electrically operated doors an interlock switch prevents operation when the wicket door is in position
Shutter Lath
As standard, constructed from 76mm deep, concave profile, galvanised mild steel interlocking laths, with ‘end-locks’ pressure riveted at each end of each alternate lath to prevent lateral movement. The bottom rail is manufactured from galvanised mild steel inverted ‘T’ section or ‘L’ section that interlocks with the lowest lath to ensure accurate closing at floor level.
Roller barrel
A mild steel tube with bright drawn mild steel support shaft, both of varying diameter, dependant upon opening size of the shutter, housing either helical steel springs to counterbalance the torque of the shutter curtain, or a 240 volt ac motor for tubular motor. Three phase operated shutters will have direct drive motors.
End plates
Mild steel plates to support the roller barrel assembly incorporating mild steel ‘U’ cups, to house the support shaft, secured to continuous ‘flag-post’ design fixing angles or independently mounted.
Guide channels
Rolled mild steel channel section, of varying depth, dependant upon opening size, mounted onto mild steel angles to captivate the shutter curtain on its opening and closing cycle. Doors subject to high wind loading are fitted with ‘windlock’ guide section.
Industrial 3 phase roller shutters
Industrial single skin roller shutters are an essential component in the world of roller shutters. These robust and durable shutters are specifically designed to provide maximum security and protection for industrial premises.
With their strong and sturdy construction, industrial single skin roller shutters offer excellent resistance against forced entry and vandalism. They act as a formidable barrier, deterring potential intruders and safeguarding valuable assets and equipment.
Moreover, these roller shutters are highly versatile and customizable, allowing businesses to tailor them to their specific needs. They come in various sizes, colors, and finishes, ensuring seamless integration with the existing architectural aesthetics of the industrial building.
