Not all openings are the same. In a food plant hygiene comes first, in a clean room airtightness, in an area with explosive atmospheres electrical safety, and on an automated line synchronisation with the machines. In these cases a generic door is not enough: you need purpose-designed versions, from ATEX high-speed doors to food-grade and clean room models. Here is how to find your way.
Food industry: ZipGO Food
ZipGO Food was designed to separate processing, maturing and storage areas in food environments, in compliance with sector standards. It combines the speed and self-repair capability of the ZipGO range with the cleaning and separation requirements typical of the food industry.
If the areas are refrigerated, the choice moves to the ZipGO Cold range, which reaches -30°C in the Double version.
Pharmaceutical and clean rooms: ZipGO Clean Room
ZipGO Clean Room was developed for companies working in sterile environments: its low permeability helps maintain controlled conditions between one area and the next.
Explosive atmospheres: ATEX high-speed doors with ZipGO Atex
The ZipGO Atex high-speed door (ATmosphères EXplosives) was designed for companies that must operate in areas with a risk of explosion. It has an antistatic curtain and complies with explosion-protection standards. In these projects, the zone classification must be defined together with the plant’s safety manager.
Automated lines: ZipGO Conveyor
ZipGO Conveyor is a programmable flexible door designed to separate processing areas crossed by conveyor belts and automated lines: it opens and closes in sync with the flow of materials.
Overhead cranes: VertiGO Crane
When the opening must allow an overhead crane to pass, VertiGO Crane is the VertiGO range solution designed to optimise the closure of the opening served by the crane, with a made-to-measure curtain.
Farms and livestock buildings: VertiGO Green
VertiGO Green is a fast stacking door with a robust, impact-resistant structure that helps control climate, dust and insects in agricultural environments.
Hangars and very large openings: MegaGO
For hangars and large industrial openings there is MegaGO, a stacking door with a lattice steel structure and modular double curtain, reaching up to 35 metres wide.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a high-speed door for ATEX environments?
Yes, ZipGO Atex has an antistatic curtain and complies with explosion-protection standards. The configuration must be defined according to the zone classification.
Which high-speed door should be used in a clean room?
We recommend ZipGO Clean Room, designed with low permeability to help maintain the conditions of sterile environments.
Can a high-speed door work with a conveyor belt?
Yes, ZipGO Conveyor is programmable and integrates with automated lines to open and close in sync with the passage of materials.
What is the largest high-speed door?
MegaGO, the stacking door for hangars and large openings, reaches up to 35 metres wide.
