Client: SunRice Group, Leeton
Location: NSW
Industry: Food Manufacturing
SunRice, a leader in food production and processing, operates a highly trafficked facility in Leeton, NSW, where large volumes of rice and other food products are processed daily. With a constant flow of trucks, forklifts, and pedestrians, the factory needed efficient, reliable, and hygienic door solutions to keep operations running smoothly, including fast action doors that leverage high-speed door technology. Their old doors, which were outdated, clunky, and costly to maintain, were slowing down production and posing hygiene and pest control concerns.
To address these issues, SunRice partnered with Remax Doors to replace their aging doors with state-of-the-art Movidor Rapid Roller Doors. Designed for speed, safety, and durability, these custom-made doors provide the perfect solution for SunRice’s busy, high-traffic environment.
The old doors at SunRice’s Leeton facility were at the end of their lifecycle, operating with outdated mechanical systems that required frequent repairs and caused significant downtime, leading to traffic congestion and safety concerns for workers and equipment.
The old doors also posed serious hygiene and pest control risks, as their slow operation allowed pests and airborne contaminants to enter the facility during prolonged opening times, compromising food-grade standards. Additionally, if the old doors were accidentally knocked or impacted by forklifts or trucks and delivery vehicles —they couldn’t auto-correct, causing further delays in closing and leaving the facility exposed to contamination risks and pest intrusion while awaiting a technician to either repair or replace the impacted door.
Adding to the complexity, the facility had pre-existing door cavities, each with unique dimensions. SunRice required custom-made doors that would fit seamlessly into these openings. To avoid interruptions to production, the new doors also needed to be installed quickly and efficiently.
Remax Doors supplied Movidor Rapid Roller Doors, which addressed all of SunRice’s challenges while enhancing the facility’s overall efficiency, hygiene, and safety. These doors were custom-designed and built to fit the factory’s pre-existing openings, ensuring a seamless installation process with minimal disruption to production.
High Speed Doors and Efficiency
Movidor Rapid Roller Doors are designed for high speed rapid opening and closing cycles, enabling the smooth flow of trucks, forklifts, and pedestrians through the factory. High speed doors provide fast access and maintain environmental control, making them ideal for various industries. Feedback from the SunRice team highlighted how the doors are “slick, fast up, fast down,” allowing workers to move in and out with confidence and ease.
Minimal Maintenance and Downtime
Unlike the old mechanical doors, Movidor Rapid Roller Doors are low-maintenance and built to last. The self-repairing feature ensures that if the door is accidentally hit by a forklift or machinery, the curtain quickly realigns itself into the tracks without requiring manual intervention, or a service technician call out, or major damage minimising downtime and repair costs.
Hygiene and Pest Control
With tight seals and smooth operation, the rapid roll doors prevent pests and contaminants from entering the facility. This is critical in a food-grade environment where cleanliness and product integrity are non-negotiable.
Integrated Safety Features
Given the high-traffic nature of the facility, safety was a top priority. The rapid doors are equipped with an integrated traffic light system, ensuring that workers and vehicles can move in and out of the factory safely and efficiently, regulating the flow of traffic and preventing accidents.
Custom Design and Quick Installation
Each rapid door was custom-built to fit SunRice’s pre-existing door cavities, ensuring a perfect fit. Despite the custom design process, the doors were installed quickly to avoid impacting production schedules. The result is a tailored solution that meets the factory’s unique needs without unnecessary delays.
Movidor Rapid Roller Doors offer versatile activation and control options to enhance security, efficiency, and traffic flow. These include sensors for automatic operation, push buttons for manual control, remote controls for convenient access, timers to reduce energy costs, and swipe cards or fobs for secure, tracked entry.
