What is an electric shutter?

The electric shutter is one of the most modern automatic doors that can be opened and closed easily with the help of a remote control. The components of this type of shutter include motor, electric shutter blade (aluminum blades, polycarbonate blades, galvanized foamed blades), electric shutter rail, shutter housing, shutter roll, remote, control panel, and shutter emergency power. This product has high efficiency, stylish appearance and ease of installation. In recent years, we saw manual and old shutters in most of the streets of our city; which were used to protect the goods of a shop, but those iron shutters did not have much resistance against rain and needed to be painted. For this reason, everyone was looking for an alternative to those traditional shutters. As a result, many people turned to accordion protection. But this type of protection was not very economical in terms of price. As a result, the electric shutter replaced all the previous ones and was widely used. Electric shutter is one of the types of automatic doors and it is made in different types.

One of the most important parts in an electric shutter is its motor. This motor converts electronic power into mechanical energy. Finally, the shutter is activated with the help of the remote motor and the blades go up and down. There are different types of electric shutter motors, the most important of which are motor side, central and tubular. According to the amount of use of the shutter and the installation location, one of these motors is used.

One of the most widely used motors in the manufacture of electric shutters is the tubular motor. This type of engine is suitable for low-traffic and small entrances. It has a cylindrical appearance and is installed on the shaft. Tubular engine installation requires great care and attention. It has a variable price depending on the characteristics of the engine. The unit of power in this type of engine is Newton.

People who use old manual shutters; They can turn it into an electric shutter by installing a central motor. This type of motor is easy to install and is suitable for shutters that have an average weight. The unit of power in the central engine is kg.

Motor side is suitable for shutters that have a lot of weight. This type of engine has the ability to bear high weights and increases the life of the device. Despite the side motor, there is not much pressure on the motor when raising and lowering the shutter door. The motor side is installed on the plate plate and is the best possible option for high-traffic electric shutters.

The shutter blade is one of its main parts. These blades are made in different materials. Electric shutter blade is made of polycarbonate, aluminum and galvanized. Each of the mentioned materials has unique characteristics. In terms of appearance, these blades are sold in different types, including caps, double-walled bridged, double-walled, single-walled, double-walled foamed and punched blades. By placing the blades next to each other, they form the main view of the shutter. The electric shutter blade prevents energy loss. In addition, it gives an attractive appearance to the building when the door is closed. When the door is closed, the blades roll up. For this reason, they do not occupy much space and are suitable for small environments. The blades have high strength and durability and show very good resistance in different environmental conditions.

The best electric shutter blade should be fireproof and washable. It should show high resistance against wet, dry and humid weather. Aluminum blades have an electrostatic color by default. This type of paint is rust-proof and long-lasting. Aluminum blades are available as single-wall and double-wall. Double-walled blades have high security and less noise. These types of blades can be single bridge, double bridge or triple bridge. The presence of the bridge increases the strength of the blade. These blades reach the market in three qualities: third-grade aluminum, pure aluminum and second-grade aluminum. Aluminum blades can be foamed or non-foamed. Foam blades greatly reduce noise; But they have low security against fire. For this reason, it is better to use this type of blades in places where the possibility of fire is extremely low.

These types of blades have a transparent appearance. For this reason, after installing the blade, the other side of the shutter will be clear. In fact, these blades have replaced the glasses. The polycarbonate blade is anti-theft and has high security. This type of blade is used in anti-theft electric shutters. Polycarbonate blades are shockproof and fireproof, and colors can be used to make the appearance of the blade more beautiful. This type of blade has a high thickness and an aluminum tube is used to connect it.

Galvanized blades are among the cheapest blades. The best galvanized electric shutter blade should be anti-rust and anti-scratch. Because of its heavy weight, a powerful motor must be used to open and close the galvanized blade. A galvanized blade is quieter than an aluminum blade, but weighs more. These types of blades have high compressive, bending and shear strength and are available in the market with foam. The use of galvanized blades with foam makes you have better insulation against sound and heat.

The electric shutter has two rails on the right and left sides, and the rollers of the shutter blade are placed inside the rails and use them to go up and down. The rails are installed so that the blades are not damaged or worn. Rails are made of iron and aluminum in two types, normal and canned. Polycarbonate and aluminum blades have special rails. To prevent noise when the shutter goes up and down, soft and plastic components are placed next to its edges. The shutter rail can be made of stainless steel and aluminum. You can match the color of the shutter rail with the facade of the building according to your taste to have a luxury electric shutter. Electric shutter rails are produced in vertical and horizontal types. You can choose one of them according to your application. Rails are available in different dimensions and sizes; But their exact dimensions are determined based on the size of the door during installation. The iron rail is more resistant to impact and is used to prevent theft. Aluminum rail is resistant to rust and moisture and is used in wet and humid areas. As a result, you should choose the type of rail according to your environment and application.

In the electric shutter chamber, the shutter roll is placed. This housing makes the roll of the shutter invisible to the eye and has a more beautiful appearance.

The electric shutter is called Roll UP Door in English; In the meaning of the door that rolls up, we will discuss the importance of this roll and the effect it has on the direction of rotation, speed and sound of the shutter. In the upper part of the electric shutter, the blades gather around a tube and their vertical movement ends. The mentioned pipe is called shaft or drum. The set of blades together with the roll shaft forms the shutter. The rolling direction of the shutter can be outward or inward. Usually, the shutters are installed in the form of a roll inside so that the appearance of the work is more uniform and beautiful. Also, access to the equipment and engine will not be possible for other people.

The remote control is one of the side components of the electric shutter, which is very widely used. The remote control of the electric shutter provides the possibility of opening and closing and controlling the shutter from a distance. By applying the settings on the remote, you can have the expected performance. Remotes consist of an electrical board with several buttons and keys. In order to be able to command the shutter motor to open and close the door, you will need a remote control. To use the remote control, its receivers must be installed inside the shutter structure. The components of the remote control are the electric board, antenna and radio receiver card, which provide the energy they need through the battery.
