by Shane Henson — August 13, 2012—Rytec, a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of high-performance doors for industrial, commercial and cold-storage environments, recently launched its Powerhouse line of industrial, roll-up rubber doors. Ideal for large door openings in the harshest, grittiest environments imaginable, Powerhouse doors are engineered to survive the extreme conditions places like train depots, bus garages, recycling sorting facilities, and earth mover storage buildings.
According to the company, these heavy-duty doors are made from the same durable material used to manufacture tires and can be used to keep workers safe despite their constant exposure to dust, rocks, mud and other elements. The doors’ engineered styrene butadiene rubber roll-up panel is virtually indestructible, the company says. It is designed without dangerous springs, high-maintenance counterbalance systems and wear parts, saving thousands on service costs. The patent-pending design and heavy-duty construction offer speed, wind and pressure-resistance, and the tight seals required to protect critical equipment and operations.
In the case of an accidental hit, the Powerhouse SD distinguishes itself from conventional doors by releasing without damage and restoring to full operation with just the push of a button. Designed for the largest openings, the Powerhouse XL features Dual-Sync drives, with two motors providing the power necessary for rapid access and minimal interior exposure.
In addition to being much more resilient that conventional metal doors, Powerhouse doors also require less maintenance and take less time to open and close, making them suitable for a wide range of exterior doorways, says Rytec.
In addition to its Powerhouse line of rubber doors, the company offers an array of doors that can meet building owners’ needs. According to the company, every door addresses a specific operational and environmental challenge and is engineered for maximum safety, productivity and efficiency. Corporate offices and manufacturing operations are headquartered in Jackson, Wisconsin. Customer support is provided through national and regional offices and a network of local dealers and installers throughout North America.
