Automatic Standard Revolving Doors

Automatic revolving doors are advanced entrance systems that rotate on their own, allowing seamless entry and exit without any manual pushing. These modern door solutions typically feature three or four door wings (panels) that revolve around a central axis inside a cylindrical enclosure. When a person approaches, motion sensors detect them and trigger the doors to rotate automatically at a comfortable, controlled speed. This hands-free operation offers great convenience and ensures a smooth flow of foot traffic in and out of the building.

Beyond convenience, automatic revolving doors are prized for their energy efficiency and professional aesthetic. Thanks to an always-closed design, they minimize air exchange between the interior and exterior, helping maintain indoor climate control and reducing heating or cooling costs. The revolving door prevents drafts and keeps out dust, noise, and fumes from outside, which creates a more comfortable environment in lobbies and entrance halls. With their sleek, sophisticated appearance, these doors also enhance the curb appeal of a building’s entrance, making a strong first impression on visitors.

For all these reasons, automatic revolving doors have become a popular choice in high-traffic commercial and public spaces worldwide. You will commonly find them at the main entrances of hotels, office towers, shopping centers, airports, hospitals, and other facilities where style, efficiency, and reliability are paramount.

Key Benefits of Automatic Revolving Doors

• Energy Efficiency: By design, revolving doors keep indoor and outdoor air separated, drastically cutting down on heat loss or air conditioning escape. This “always open, always closed” principle means less strain on HVAC systems and significant energy savings over time.
• Comfort & Climate Control: They eliminate drafts and maintain a stable indoor temperature. Visitors aren’t blasted by outside wind or weather when entering, and noise, dust, and pollution are kept out, resulting in a quieter and cleaner interior.
• Hands-Free Convenience: Automatic revolving doors detect approaching people and rotate without needing a push, allowing everyone to enter or exit effortlessly. This is especially helpful for those carrying luggage, pushing strollers, or using wheelchairs, as well as during busy times when many people are coming and going.
• Continuous Traffic Flow: The revolving design permits a continuous stream of people to move in and out simultaneously (one person per compartment), reducing bottlenecks. Unlike a single swinging door, multiple users can enter and exit at once in an organized flow, improving building traffic management.
• Modern Aesthetics: A glossy, rotating door at the entrance lends a premium, modern look to the building. It signals that the facility is up-to-date and high-class. The visual appeal of a revolving door can enhance branding and the overall image of the property.
• Enhanced Security: Optional locking features and integration with access control systems allow revolving doors to secure the entrance when needed. For example, they can be set to lock or alarm after hours, and some designs include night closing doors or shutters for complete closure, providing peace of mind along with convenience.

Design and Features

Our automatic revolving doors combine robust engineering with intelligent technology to provide a safe and efficient entryway. Key design and feature highlights include:

Robust Construction

Each door is built with high-quality materials for exceptional durability. The outer framework is typically made of strong aluminum alloy or stainless steel, ensuring structural stability and corrosion resistance. Inside the drum, the rotating door wings are fitted with tempered safety glass, offering transparency and elegance while being resistant to impact. This sturdy construction allows the door to withstand heavy daily use and harsh weather conditions, guaranteeing a long service life with minimal maintenance. The overall assembly is precision-crafted for smooth operation and a refined appearance that complements modern architecture.

Smart Automation

At the heart of every automatic revolving door is a reliable motorized drive and advanced control system. A high-performance electric motor (with a gearbox) smoothly turns the door at an optimal, pre-set speed. State-of-the-art motion sensors mounted at the entrances detect approaching pedestrians and automatically start the rotation exactly when needed, so users can walk through without pausing. The control unit governs acceleration and deceleration, ensuring the movement is gentle and consistent for all users. The doors can also operate in various modes – for instance, a slower rotation mode can be activated for elderly or disabled individuals, providing them ample time to pass through comfortably. Overall, the automation is quiet, efficient, and designed for 24/7 reliability.

Advanced Safety Features

Safety is a top priority in the design of our doors. Multiple safeguards are in place to protect users at all times. Infrared or radar sensors continuously monitor the doorway for any obstructions or a person moving slowly; if something is detected, the system automatically slows down or stops the rotation to prevent any impact or entrapment. Vertical safety edges on the door wings (pressure-sensitive strips) will also trigger an instant stop if they come into contact with an object. In addition, an emergency stop button is integrated near the entrance – pressing it will immediately halt the door’s movement in case of an emergency or concern.

For urgent situations like a fire alarm or power failure, our automatic revolving doors feature an emergency break-out mechanism. This allows the revolving door wings to fold or collapse outward, transforming the circular compartments into a flat, open passage. In doing so, the doorway becomes a clear, wide opening that can serve as an evacuation route, letting people exit quickly to safety. This fail-safe design meets international egress standards and ensures that having a revolving door does not impede emergency exits.

Furthermore, our doors comply with rigorous safety regulations (such as the European EN 16005 standard for automatic doors). They include appropriate signage and lighting for visibility, and can be fitted with additional safeguards like slow-speed activation buttons for wheelchair users, audible alarms, or backup power systems. With these features, users of all ages and abilities can feel confident and secure when using the door.

Customization and Options

Every building is unique, and our automatic revolving doors can be customized to match specific requirements. Size & Configuration: We offer models in various diameters (typically ranging roughly from 2 to 4 meters) and heights to suit different entryway dimensions. You can choose a three-wing or four-wing configuration for the door. A three-wing design provides larger walk-through compartments and can be advantageous for moving bulky items or allowing extra interior space per person, whereas a four-wing design creates more compartments for a higher throughput rate and a narrower opening when at rest. Both configurations ensure smooth traffic flow; the choice depends on aesthetic preference and how much pedestrian traffic is expected.

Materials & Finish: The appearance of the door can be tailored to your building’s design. The metal frame can be powder-coated in any RAL color to match your branding or facade, or it can be constructed with polished stainless steel, brass, or anodized aluminum for a distinctive look. We also provide options for the canopy (ceiling) height of the revolving door – a taller canopy can make the entrance feel more spacious and grand. The canopy interior often includes built-in LED lighting that illuminates the doorway and adds a touch of elegance, especially at night.

Glass & Glazing: The curved enclosure walls and the rotating wings use high-strength laminated or tempered glass. Clear glass offers maximum transparency, while tinted or reflective glass panels are available for solar control or privacy if desired. All glazing is safety-rated and can include custom elements like etched logos or patterns for branding.

Additional Features: We can integrate a variety of optional enhancements to meet your needs. For instance, an air curtain or heater can be installed at the door’s interior to blow warm air and further prevent cold drafts in winter. For security, our revolving doors can incorporate an electromechanical lock that secures the door wings in place during off-hours, effectively locking the entrance. There are also night shutter options – panels (manual or automated) that close off the door openings at night for complete closure. Moreover, access control systems (such as card readers or keypads) can be seamlessly integrated, allowing only authorized individuals to enter when necessary (useful for corporate or restricted facilities).

From design details to functional upgrades, every aspect of the automatic revolving door can be customized. Our goal is to deliver an entrance solution that not only fits your building’s technical requirements but also aligns with your operational needs and aesthetic vision.
