Swinging traffic doors with bumpers are commonly used in supermarkets to facilitate the movement between areas like storage rooms, kitchens, and sales floors. These doors are designed to swing open easily in both directions, allowing quick passage for employees, trolleys, or carts while protecting the door from damage.
Key Features of Swinging Traffic Doors with Bumpers:
-
Dual-Action Swinging Mechanism: These doors swing in both directions, making them ideal for high-traffic areas where hands-free or rapid movement is necessary.
-
Durable Construction: Typically made from heavy-duty materials like stainless steel, ABS plastic, or other robust polymers to withstand daily wear and tear.
-
Bumpers: Integrated bumpers or impact plates on the door prevent damage from carts, trolleys, or equipment. They are usually made from rubber or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to absorb impact and extend the door's life.
-
Clear Vision Panels: Many doors come with clear, shatterproof vision panels, allowing employees to see what's on the other side, improving safety.
-
Hygiene-Friendly: Doors are often designed to be easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for food service areas like supermarkets.
-
Noise Reduction: Swinging traffic doors are built to close quietly, minimizing noise disruptions in busy environments.
-
Optional Insulation: Some doors are available with insulation to help maintain temperature control between areas, especially important in refrigerated or climate-sensitive environments.
Benefits in Supermarkets:
- Efficiency: Allows for the seamless transition between the sales floor, stockroom, and backroom areas, enhancing workflow.
- Safety: Vision panels prevent accidents by providing visibility of both sides.
- Durability: Bumpers protect the door from repeated impacts, reducing maintenance costs.
Common Applications:
- Supermarkets: Between the stockroom and sales floor.
- Food Service Areas: In kitchens or between food preparation and dining areas.
- Warehouses: For sections with high equipment and trolley traffic.
