Rubber doors offer the best of both worlds: A flexible, impact-resistant panel with long-lasting durability and low-maintenance operation. Rytec’s PowerTec™ series of high-performance rubber doors combines rugged performance with reliable operation to accelerate throughput, making them ideal for a wide variety of industries and applications, including loading docks, parking garages and cold storage environments.
Constructed for Maximum Durability
At the heart of Rytec’s rubber doors lies a thick styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) panel. This robust, puncture-resistant material is commonly used in tires, offering tensile strength that withstands heavy usage and harsh environmental conditions. Coupled with steel-reinforced structural side columns and powder-coated side frames, these doors provide a tightly sealed envelope.
Long-Lasting Reliability
Most PowerTec doors feature direct-drive operation and a springless design for minimal maintenance. Because they have no counterbalanced wear parts, they’re engineered to withstand the daily rigors of high operating cycles. Additionally, they can be custom manufactured for optimal fit and performance to ensure they meet your facility’s needs for years to come.
Safety First
Rytec pairs durability with safety systems to keep both personnel and materials safe. For example, dual thru-beam photo eyes stop and reverse the door when it detects an obstruction. A wireless bottom bar and our breakaway system protect against entrapment and vehicle impact, minimizing downtime and preventing damage to both the door and equipment. Standard safety yellow bottom bar, side columns and header components help to visually identify the threshold opening.
Low Maintenance for Longevity
Conventional sectional doors rely on springs, cables, chains and rollers, which are all prone to wear and failure. Rytec rubber doors eliminate these kinds of components. Their springless designs, variable-speed AC drives, and direct-drive motors mean fewer moving parts and fewer breakdowns.
Performance Under Control
PowerTec doors are integrated with Rytec’s exclusive System 4® technology for unmatched control and functionality. The System 4 is faster, smarter and easier to install than other high-speed door controllers. The intelligent processor and variable frequency drive generate an energy-efficient speed curve for smooth motion, soft starting and soft stopping.
Climate Management
From manufacturing and warehouses to parking garages, controlling thermal conditions is vital. That’s why our rubber doors help to minimize air exchange and deliver better climate control. With their effective perimeter seals and thick panels, these doors help create a more energy-efficient environment.
Tailored Solutions for Every Application
Rytec offers PowerTec rubber doors designed for nearly every application, from low clearance applications to oversized openings. We can even incorporate functional and aesthetic options, such as vision windows, hoods and customizable colors to match your facility’s needs.
PowerTec rubber doors deliver the performance and dependability required for harsh conditions in a variety of applications. Think it’s time to upgrade your doors? Check out all of our high-performance rubber doors or contact us to see how we can help you select the right doors for your facility.
