Ulti Roll Air Door: High-Speed Environmental Control for New Zealand Industrial Facilities

Maintaining consistent temperature and humidity in busy industrial environments is one of the biggest challenges facing New Zealand’s cold storage, logistics, and food production sectors.

Frequent door openings, high traffic flow, and changing external conditions can quickly compromise environmental control – impacting product quality, energy use, and operational efficiency.

The Ulti Roll Air Door is designed to solve this challenge by combining high-speed performance with integrated airflow technology, helping facilities maintain separation without slowing down operations.

 

 

What is an Air Door System?

An air door system uses a controlled stream of air to create a barrier between two environments.

In industrial applications, this helps:

• Separate temperature zones (e.g. chilled vs ambient areas)
• Reduce the exchange of air, moisture, and contaminants
• Maintain more stable internal conditions

The Ulti Roll Air Door enhances this concept by integrating the air curtain directly into a high-speed door system.

 

 

Key Features of the Ulti Roll Air Door

1. High-Speed Operation for Busy Environments

With opening speeds of up to 3 m/s, the Ulti Roll Air Door minimises the time a doorway is open.

This is especially valuable in:

• Cold storage facilities
• Distribution centres
• Food production environments

Faster door cycles mean less air transfer and improved workflow efficiency.

 

2. Integrated Air Curtain for Environmental Separation

The built-in air curtain creates a continuous airflow barrier, helping to separate temperature and humidity zones.

This supports:

• Better cold chain integrity
• Reduced condensation risk
• Improved internal climate control

It’s a practical solution for facilities managing different temperature zones within the same site.

 

3. Designed for Large Openings

The Ulti Roll Air Door can accommodate openings up to 4.5m wide by 8m high, making it suitable for large-scale industrial applications.

This ensures compatibility with:

• Forklift and vehicle access points
• High-bay warehouses
• Large production areas

 

4. Built for Reliability in Demanding Conditions

Industrial environments require equipment that can withstand constant use.

Key durability features include:

• Crash-resistant curtain to minimise damage
• Self-repair system that automatically resets are impact
• Class 4 wind resistance rating for exposed sites

These features help reduce downtime and maintenance requirements.

 

5. Supporting Energy and Efficiency Goals

With a thermal performance (U-value) of 6.02, the Ulti Roll Air Door contributes to more stable internal conditions.

By reducing unwanted air exchange, facilities can:

• Improve energy efficiency
• Maintain consistent operating environments
• Support compliance with temperature-sensitive processes

 

 

Where is Ulti Roll Air Door Used?

The system is well suited to industries across New Zealand and Australia, including:

• Cold storage and temperature-controlled logistics
• Food and beverage production facilities
• Warehousing and distribution centres
• Industrial manufacturing environments

Any operation that relies on consistent environmental conditions and high throughput can benefit from this solution.

 

Why Environmental Control Matters in New Zealand

New Zealand’s climate – with its mix of humidity, coastal conditions, and seasonal variation – makes environmental control especially important.

For facilities handling temperature-sensitive goods, even small fluctuations can lead to:

• Product degradation
• Increased energy consumption
• Operational inefficiencies

Investing in high-performance door systems like the Ulti Roll Air Door helps mitigate these risks while supporting long-term performance.

 

A Smarter Approach to Industrial Access

The Ulti Roll Air Door is more than just a high-speed door – it’s a complete environmental control solution.

By combining:

• Speed
• Airflow technology
• Durability

…it helps facilities maintain separation, improve efficiency, and reduce disruption in demanding environments.
