How to automate your roller shutter in Kenya

A roller shutter is also known as a security shutter, coiling door, roller door, or sectional overhead door. It is a type of door or window shutter made up of a series of horizontal slats (or, in some cases, bars or web systems) hinged together. To open a roller shutter, the door is raised while to close it, the door is lowered. On large doors, the opening and closing may be motorized. In Kenya, roller shutter doors are used for garages, workshops or for storage spaces.

In truth, the biggest challenge with roller shutter is the opening and closing of the roller shutter.

At Premier Automatic Gates, we have a solution to automate your roller shutter such that opening and closing become very easy. Our solution includes automating the opening and closing of the roller shutters with an electric motor attached to the shutter door.

Centurion’s RSO5 – 500kg INDUSTRIAL ROLLER-SHUTTER OPERATOR

The CENTURION Industrial RSO series was created to safely automate extremely heavy roller-shutter doors, such as those found at factory entrances and loading docks. Each model is equipped with a powerful gearbox and a heavy-duty electric motor. This motor can deliver maximum lifting force. In addition, a handy manual override facility with a five-meter chain ensures that the door can be operated even if the power goes out. A three-button wall pendant allows the operator to open and close the door as well as safely stop it in the event of an emergency. The RSO5 is a roller-shutter operator with a multi-faceted interface board for connecting a variety of devices.

MAIN FEATURES:

• Robust construction
  Oblique gear. This is a proven transmission type. It is coupled with an AC motor that packs plenty of clouts. Above all, it makes for an industrial roller-shutter operator that makes quick work of even the heaviest of shutters.
• Fail-safe manual operation
  What is strength without reliability? In the unlikely event that something goes wrong. The RSO is committed to keeping you in business, with not one but two modes of manual operation. All RSO models come standard with a five-meter hand chain. Indeed, this ensures that the shutter can be easily operated even from ground level. Also, a manual-release pin inside the gearbox can override the mechanical brake.
• Easy to commission
  The strength of a good industrial operator lies not in its complexity but in its…well…strength. The RSO range of operators is exceptionally easy to set up. Furthermore, the commission can be done in mere minutes thanks to a user-friendly cam system.
• Reliable position control
  Two mechanical limit switches are included in the system. This makes sure that the shutter stops in the open and closed positions, every time.
• Rock-solid mounting system
  CENTURION’s custom-made RSO mounting plates include vertical slots for easy adjustment of the operator.
