Opening principle sliding door

Open and close your hangar exactly where it is needed. Due to Butzbach sliding doors with freely movable door leaves each door element can be moved individually on the bottom rails.

Opening principle telescopic sliding door

With the Butzbach telescopic door, the individual door elements are linked together and are opened and closed simultaneously. This reduces the operating effort and provides quick access to the hangar by pushing a button.

Opening principle around-the-corner-door

With the Butzbach around-the-corner door each door element is guided along the inside or outside of the hangar side wall. This is a great advantage when space is limited or for special hangar shapes such as round halls. The entire width of the hall is always available when opening the around-the-corner door.

Suitable for every application

Hangar doors – bottom tracks

The Butzbach unique bottom tracks control the exact movement of the door leaves. The loads, from wind and the door leaf weight, are transmitted directly into the bottom track foundations. Any incidental rainwater is discharged from the bottom tracks into connected drainage. An optional rail heating system can be integrated, to meet customer additional requirements.

Hangar doors – top track with girder movement

Due to roof deformations over the door system, tolerance clearances (girder movement) must be created for the compensation. Hangar door systems standing on the bottom tracks consider the girder movement (specification of the static calculation) above the door system.

Hangar doors – safety edge device

Safety edge devices have the function of ensuring personal safety on the leading edge of a door leaf. During the operation of the door leaves, there is a non-visible protected area in the direction of motion, which can represent a danger to persons and/or objects. Touching the safety edge device triggers a command that stops the door leaf and initiates a reversing return movement

Hangar doors – tail door

The installation of vertical tail gates as stacking doors in the structural replacement of the door truss reduces the main door height and therefore costs. For the vertical tail door we use our own produced fiberglass and create a uniform appearance to your hangar door.

Hangar doors – door drive

Door motors are used to move heavy door leaves. Electric geared motors with a chain connection to the drive wheel are in use. The door leaf is set in motion via a push button drive switch and the necessary electrical control.

Hangar doors with fibreglass

The fibreglass is a particularly versatile material and ideally suited for hangar doors. The fibreglass is characterised by its translucency, longevity, thermal insulation and stability. Further information on fibreglass development & production can be found here.

Hangar door pendulum brake

One adjustable pendulum brake is installed in each door leaf (manual operated door system), in order to protect the personnel and material. This brake has no negative effects on the manual force when opening or closing the door leaf with a speed up to approx. 0.30 m/sec.

The pendulum brake stops the door leaf when the above-mentioned speed is exceeded (without any electrical influence). Once the door leaf stops, the brake will release automatically and the door leaf can either be opened or closed.
