UNIFLOW’s PROPOSAL
2026.07.03
Are you looking to improve air conditioning efficiency with High-Speed Roll-Up Door?
We are anticipating another season of intense summer heat this year.
With temperatures rising, managing the health and well-being of our onsite staffs has become a critical priority.
To create cool and comfortable environments even in the peak of summer, we've seen a growing trend of installing air conditioning systems, not just in homes, but also in various stores and factories as a countermeasure against the heat.Due to these factors, we are seeing an increasing number of inquiries about "high-speed roll-up door."

In this article, we will propose air conditioning management using high-speed roll-up door.
Let us introduce a specific installation example.
The manager of a certain automotive maintenance factory was facing the following concerns:
"Facing intense heat within our manufacturing facilities due to recent extreme summers, our on-site workers are experiencing significant strain. This challenging environment has even led to employee attrition."
Despite installing air conditioning, the following issues arose:
The opening part (entrances and exits) in the maintenance factory were equipped with heavy-duty steel doors.
[When existing heavy-duty doors are left open] Cooled air constantly escapes to the outside, leading to significant energy waste.
[While keeping heavy steel doors closed]They prevents cold air from escaping, they create significant operational bottlenecks. The physical strain of manually opening and closing heavy doors leads to worker fatigue and drastically reduces the efficiency of loading and unloading goods.
High-speed roll-up door: Improving the working environment
High-speed roll-up door solved these problems.
Our Solution: The high-speed roll-up door, which opens and closes more than 10 times faster than a standard heavy steel door.
[Setting Specifications]
For size W3000×H3000: Operating speed: Opening 1m/sec, Closing 0.5m/sec
(Cycle time: Opening 3 seconds + Top hold 5 seconds + Closing 6 seconds)
Based on the specifications above, the net opening time (the duration the door remains open) is approximately 10 seconds. This drastically reduces exposure to the elements, temperature fluctuations, and potential calculated value.
Consider this: A standard heavy door opens at a speed of approximately 0.1 meters per second.
While a simple calculation shows a standard heavy steel door are left open 10 times the time of our roll-up doors. Due to slow pass, conventional steel doors are frequently left open for extended periods, especially in high-traffic environments.
Airflow from gaps leads to significant energy loss for heating and cooling systems.
Our high-speed roll-up door open and close rapidly, helping to maintain interior temperatures and minimize outside air intrusion. By preventing doors from being left open, they also contribute to effective insect proof control.
See how our doors integrate seamlessly with heavy-duty doors in the figures below.
During business hours: Utilizing high-speed roll-up doors
After hours: Enhanced security with locked heavy-duty steel doors
Note: Our high-speed roll-up door are not designed for security performance.
Here's what one automotive repair shop employee had to say after installing our high-speed roll-up door:
"While we initially installed the high-speed roll-up door as a countermeasure against the summer heat, it has proven equally effective during the winter. Simply keeping the high-speed roll-up door closed helps block the cold, allowing us to maintain a comfortable working environment year-round.",
Said satisfied customer.
Adapting to changing environments, UNIFLOW provides optimal product solutions to create comfortable and safe chamber.
Thank you for reading to the end.
