SORGO DOOR SYSTEMS
The SORGO jet door. Unrestricted access without a swing area.
The jet door opens vertically, keeping the area in front of the system clear. After closing, pneumatic two-way cylinders press the fully insulated solid door firmly against the door jamb. An additional cylinder presses the door down against the floor. A continuous silicone seal resistant to grease, acids and temperature provides a permanently completely smoke-tight barrier when closed. The door system is also available for panel-built systems.
Space-saving opening
No door leaf swings into the production area – ideal for narrow traffic and loading routes.
Completely smoke-tight
After lowering, pneumatic cylinders press the 90 mm solid door firmly against the door jamb. An additional cylinder presses the door down against the floor. This creates a completely smoke-tight seal.
Automatic & fail-safe
The door sequence can be fully automated. Without electricity or compressed air, access remains safely open.
Also for panel construction
Can be designed for various SORGO systems and panel-built systems, such as cold-smoking systems.
Distinction from airlock doors: continuous systems use airlock lifting doors as a separate, project-specific door system to safely separate process zones, synchronised with trolley transport.
