Overhead Door Brand has launched an Air Curtain option for its 991 RapidFlex commercial doors, a solution tailored for cooler applications within the food and beverage industry.

Outdated or inadequate sealing doors can strain cooling systems, shortening their lifespan and driving up costs. The 991 RapidFlex doors, now with the Air Curtain option, can minimize the cool air that slips out every time the doors open and close.

The Air Curtain for 991 RapidFlex door is designed to significantly enhance the operational efficiency and cleanliness of facilities, playing a crucial role in preventing contaminants from infiltrating the opening while also effectively drying condensation that may form on the curtain during operation cycles. Overhead Door Brand offers a wide variety of Air Curtain options, including non-heated, heated, washdown, and stainless options.

In addition to the Air Curtain, the 991 RapidFlex door features:

  • FDA-Compliant Fabric: Available in blue or white, the fabric meets U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety and hygiene standards for food contact materials
  • 40-Ounce Fabric: An ideal option for maintaining a controlled atmosphere in environments with temperature differentials and lower humidity
  • LED Lights: Optional LED lights enhance visibility and safety, ensuring clear visual communication between the door and pedestrians and equipment operators
  • Gearbox Heater: An intuitive feature for low-temperature environments, automatically activating to ensure smooth operation and turning off when temperatures rise above 55 °F
  • Stainless Steel Components: Including guides, hardware, hood, motor cover, headplates, and pipe, stainless steel options are designed for durability in high humidity or washdown applications
  • Optional RAL Colors: Customize the aesthetics of the door, with additional charges applicable for customization.

An Air Curtain can be easily added to existing 991 RapidFlex doors.
