What is an electric shutter?

Shutter door or automatic electric shutter is one of the tools that despite its simple structure has been able to play an important role in the ease of life. Decades ago, people used shutters to protect and make their living and workplace more comfortable; However, human progress and movement towards technology led to the design and construction of a new category of shutters called electric shutter doors or automatic shutters. The shutter door in Iran has a history of almost a quarter of a century. At first, the work started by converting normal shutters to automatic ones without changing the appearance and type of construction. But after some time, the use of this method became common in the construction of building doors, and this was the beginning of the entry of a new type of shutter blade into the market.

Types of electric shutters

The main difference of electric shutters can be checked from the two perspectives of the motor and their blades. Types of automatic shutter blades that include aluminum, galvanized and polycarbonate. In general, the best-selling shutter door blades are 80 mm aluminum, which are available in different qualities in the market. Another difference is in the automatic shutter motor, where there are three types of structures. The most used electric shutter motor is of the tubular type, which is mostly used for stores with low traffic and small opening size. The second type is the side motor, which is used for places with high traffic or large dimensions, and the third type is the central electric shutter motor, which can also be used for high traffic. First of all, we should know for which place the electric shutter should be installed and offer the best offer according to that.

The special feature that an automatic store shutter should have is security in the first degree and beauty in the second degree. Therefore, the idea of ​​the store owner should be fulfilled by installing an automatic shutter to prevent theft from the store when this place is closed. Therefore, the blades should be heavy and resistant, and it is better to use electric or semi-automatic locks. In terms of the type of motor, due to the low use of electric shutters in the store, tubular, side and of course central motors can be used for these types of places. But the important thing is that the automatic shutter motor should be installed in such a way that the possibility of stealing the motor is minimized. But another point in the implementation of automatic store shutters is the beauty of the blades. The best idea, which is a bit expensive, is to use transparent polycarbonate sheets, so that when the store is closed, the window is visible and the buyer can find his product in it and contact the store later. But aluminum and galvanized models are also available in various models, which can be created by combining colors to create a desired and beautiful model.

The use of shutter doors for building parking lots is increasing every day, but the important point in using automatic shutters for parking lots is to use a motor for parking lots to respond to the traffic of the building. For example, if a building with a traffic of more than 4 units wants to use an electric shutter for a width of less than 10 square meters, it should use an automatic side shutter motor. In higher traffic and wider widths, high power motor side and copper coil should be used so that high traffic does not cause the engine to fail. Another concern of residential buildings is the low noise of the shutter blade, which can be used with low-noise arched aluminum blades with a precise and correct execution, and for buildings that are very sensitive, silent cartilage blades can be used. These types of blades are designed in such a way that a layer of cartilage-like soft plastic is placed between the two blades to prevent vibration and noise.

These shutters save heat loss to a great extent and can also be sound insulation. You can use screens like a net to prevent insects from entering the house. In addition, some types of shutters can be set in such a way that when the house is empty, the shutters are opened and closed at certain intervals and create these images for external observers that the building is not empty. The use of electric shutters for windows creates proper temperature insulation and can reduce energy consumption by 10% and energy loss by 45%. On the other hand, by using automatic shutter doors and windows, ambient noise can be reduced up to 10dc. gave Also, these doors provide protection against the heat and UV rays of the sun.
