EconoMax Strip Door Strip Doors A strip door is a low cost environmental barrier that is constructed of clear PVC strips that attach to a bracket that mounts above or within an opening. The strips overlap, creating a “wall” that separates one area from another. EconoMax Strip Door quality begins with extrusion of our own PVC strip stock. With over one-million dollars invested in state-of-the-art extrusion technology, we can maintain high quality and control costs in every aspect of strip door production. At Chase Doors, you get faster turnaround, guaranteed quality…and you pay less because we do it all! Common Applications Include: Model Selection Guidelines: Personnel – Strip Doors with people traffic should utilize smaller size strips with less overlap. Consider using 6” or 8” material with 33% to 67% overlap. Only use 4” material on very small openings with personnel only traffic. Keep in mind that smaller strips give less wind resistance, and will not hold up as well under heavy fork lift traffic. Pallet Jacks – Manual or motorized pallet jacks normally indicate that the door will get heavier traffic and larger material volume. Pallet jacks also typically have a person to guide or push. If an opening has heavy pallet and personnel traffic, consider 6” material with 67% overlap, or 8” with 25% or 50% overlap. Fork Lifts – Fork lift traffic normally indicates heavy traffic with more abuse. Larger strip sizes should be considered with fork lift traffic. Also consider the type of load the fork lift is carrying as the strips will drag over the load. If the load is light, the larger strips may tend to drag product off of the load. Consider 8” material with 50% to 100% overlap or 12” material with 25% or 50% overlap. Opening Size to Load Ratio – If the opening is small in relation to the size of the load, you may want to consider smaller strips with less overlap as the strips are more prone to dragging over the load. For example, consider 8” material versus 12” material on a 96” high opening with an 84” high load. Strip Grade Characteristics and Construction: Loc-Rib™ – Our standard and FDA grade PVC strips can be fabricated with “locking” ribs to seal against air flow in cooler or freezer temperatures. Ribs also preserve strip clarity by absorbing abrasions. Available in 8, 12 and 16 inch strips for door sizes up to 25 feet tall. Colorview™ – We add windows to attractive opaque colored strip doors by RF welding clear sections into the center of the strips. Available in black in 4” strip widths and in blue, green, brown and black. Safety Orange – Call attention to door edges with 8, 12, or 16 inch semi-transparent orange strips. Anti-Static – Clear strip formulated to dissipate static electricity harmlessly away from personnel or sensitive equipment. Available in 8 or 12 inch strips widths. Amberweld – Specially formulated to screen out UV and near UV rays from welding and brazing flash. Available in 8 and 12 inch strip widths. Standard – Our clear PVC strips are designed for use in most walk-in coolers or in doorways at ambient temperatures with personnel, cart, lift truck or vehicular traffic. Available strip widths are 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 48 inches. DA Low Temp – Clear PVC formulated to remain pliable in food service freezer temperatures; also for use in areas where FDA approved material is required. Available in 4, 6, 8, and 12 inch strip widths. Nylon reinforced strips are also available in widths of 6, 8, and 12 inches for use in freezers subjected to heavy personnel, hand truck or fork lift traffic. Installation: J-Hook Compatible Mounting Bracket – In the unique J-Hook system, J-Hook hangers – each with a strip attached – are hung from a 2-part extruded aluminum bracket. Hangers are easily lifted out to replace strips. A continuous welded bond between each strip and its J-Hook insures long life. Installation is simple: Just screw the aluminum mounting hardware flush to the wall, or to brackets in the door jamb, or into any other special mounting hardware. Then hang the J-hook mounted strips into place and tighten the clamping bolts. Strips will hang straight and level with the correct overlap. Overhead/Roll-Up Door Bracket – Brackets extend out and around the door assembly so strips can be mounted inside the protection from weather or vandalism when the door is closed. Gate Hinge – Allows the strip door to be swung out of the opening when not required. A retractable bolt locks the hinge in place. Trolley Mount – The strip door can be parted in the center or rolled to one side using this heavy duty roller/track assembly.
