An Aluminum Spiral Door is a rigid high speed industrial door designed for warehouses, factories, logistics centers, and other facilities requiring fast, reliable, and durable access.
Unlike flexible PVC high speed doors, aluminum spiral doors use rigid insulated panels and a spiral lifting system. This provides stronger structural performance, better insulation, and reliable outdoor operation.
What Is an Aluminum Spiral Door?
An Aluminum Spiral Door uses rigid aluminum alloy panels that move vertically through a spiral or specialized track system during operation.
Unlike traditional rolling doors, the panels do not need to wind around a conventional shaft. This allows efficient vertical lifting while keeping the doorway clear.
VelocityDoor provides several lifting configurations, including:
- Standard lifting
- Elliptical lifting
- Vertical lifting
The system can be customized according to building structure and installation requirements.
Aluminum Spiral Door Structure
1. Aluminum Alloy Panels
The rigid door panels use an aluminum alloy outer layer with a thickness of approximately 0.7 mm.
The overall panel thickness is available at approximately 40 mm or 43 mm.
The rigid aluminum structure provides:
- Strong structural performance
- Good durability
- Modern appearance
- Better resistance to outdoor conditions
Panel colors can be customized according to project requirements.
2. PU Foam Core
The aluminum panels are filled with polyurethane foam to improve thermal insulation.
The PU foam density can reach up to 50 kg/m³, helping reduce heat transfer between indoor and outdoor environments.
This can help:
- Improve temperature control
- Reduce heat loss
- Improve indoor comfort
- Support energy-efficient building operation
3. Spiral Lifting System
The spiral lifting system is one of the key features of this industrial door.
During opening, rigid panels move upward through the specially designed track system rather than rolling around a traditional shaft.
Available configurations include:
- Standard type
- Elliptical type
- Vertical lifting type
This design provides efficient operation and helps keep the entrance area clear.
4. Powder-Coated Frame and Guide Rails
The frame and guide rails are made from powder-coated galvanized steel.
The powder-coated finish provides:
- Surface protection
- Corrosion resistance
- Multiple color options
- Clean industrial appearance
The guide rail system supports stable movement of the rigid panels during daily operation.
Key Features of Aluminum Spiral Doors
Fast Operation
VelocityDoor’s High Speed Spiral Door offers an adjustable opening speed of approximately 0.6–1.2 m/s.
Fast operation helps reduce waiting time for:
- Forklifts
- Trucks
- Personnel
and improves industrial traffic efficiency.
High Wind Resistance
The rigid aluminum panel structure provides strong resistance to external conditions.
Depending on the door configuration and installation conditions, the door can achieve Wind Resistance Grade 9.
This makes it suitable for demanding outdoor entrances.
Outdoor Installation
An Aluminum Spiral Door can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
Typical applications include:
- Factory main entrances
- Warehouse entrances
- Distribution centers
- Logistics buildings
- Industrial facilities
Optional Vision Windows
Polycarbonate vision windows can be integrated into the door panels to improve visibility and traffic safety.
The window configuration can be customized according to project requirements.
Applications
Factory Entrances
Factories often require fast access for forklifts, vehicles, and material handling.
An Aluminum Spiral Door provides fast operation while offering rigid structural protection and better separation from outdoor conditions.
Warehouse Entrances
For warehouses, the door helps improve traffic flow while providing insulation and protection against external conditions.
It is suitable for:
- Storage warehouses
- E-commerce warehouses
