Hereat Ellard ltd we specialise in supplying industrial door motors and supply a comprehensive range of motor types and models. This includes, direct drive, flange, sectional, garage door and tubular motors. Our selection is vast, so for a comprehensive list of our products and specifications you can visit our dedicated pages or get in touch with our expert team.

Direct drive motors remove the need to use an elaborate system of cogs. This means that the full power of the motor goes straight into the pulling mechanism, making it an extremely efficient motor. Without the extra mechanisms, it also has a very low sound output comparatively to other methods.

Fire motors are often connected to your fire detection system and activate if fire is detected on your premises. They quickly and efficiently close helping to contain the fire and keep your employees/customers safe from the dangerous area. Government legislation requires that all fire doors must have an automatic function and all Ellard fire motors comply with the latest rules and regulations. All motors can be set to a Smoke Curtain mode, and our new Fire Door Control Panel has a panic circuit function to guarantee a means of escape.This allows you to re-open the shutter 3/4 then immediately re-close when fire alarm is still active.

Yes, our gate automation systems can be linked to keypads, switches, intercom systems and key switches, dependant on your specifications or security requirements. Take a look at the range of controls and accessories available for gate automation.

High speed motors are used for a wide range of purposes and can increase the efficiency of companies when time is of importance. Beverage, food, car and chemical factories often use high speed motors both to increase productivity and provide a security barrier. They can also be interlocked to create a airlock function

Our track sections are cold rolled and in standard lengths of 2,000, 2,500 and 3,000mm and can be used for both side or top fixing. If you would like to learn more about our sliding door gear then please get in touch with our team.

Tubular motors are the most common place motor for roller garage doors and shutters. They provide a durable, fast and quiet solution for both light and heavy applications. Tubular motors can be plugged into the mains through our easy fit panel to give you low voltage at the key switch or are backed up with battery power. Additionally, we provide garage door automation for sectional and balanced doors.

Fire shutters from HVP are designed to automatically close in the event of a fire. They seal off the opening they sit over and prevent the spread of fire. Our fire shutters have a rating of 1 to 4 hours.

The main purpose of a fire shutter is to prevent or slow down the spread of fire. In addition, it can also be used as a security shutter. Fire-shutters from HVP have a solid lath and are similar in appearance to our Screenguard security roller shutters.

Note: the product specifications below are based on our products range and do not reflect on products available throughout the industry as a whole. FireGuard FS50 and FireGuard FS75 are our product names for fire rated rolling shutters as manufactured by a select number of manufacturers who manufacture for us and are a recognised UK manufacturers of quality fire shutter products. All our fire resistant rolling shutters are manufactured in accordance with the construction products directive 89 / 106 / EC and the E C machinery directive 2006 / 42 / EC.

Fireguard FS50 shutter - With a smaller head box size, typically 250mm to 300mm square, the FS50 is ideal for openings such as food serveries, receptions, etc, where aesthetics plays an important part . This is achieved because the shutter is powered by a tubular motor fitted internally into the overhead barrel assembly. The maximum overall size of a FS50 is governed by the lifting capacity of its motor, so typically, the maximum width is in the region of 4.5m, but again this will vary, depending on height. The shutter is powered down on activation from an external source such as the building fire alarm system. A maintained power supply is required at all times, therefore a battery back-up unit is supplied as standard.

Fireguard FS75 shutter - Designed for larger opening or where 'gravity closing' is required. The overhead barrel assembly is connected to a motor by a drive chain. On activation from an external source such as the building fire alarm system, the shutter gravity closes through the gears of the motor at approximately 100mm per second. The head box size is typically 350mm square with the motor box end extending back a further 250mm. See drawing section.

For the FS50 - The panel acts as an interface between the fire alarm and the operator. When the fire alarm is activated, it sends a signal to the audio visual fire control panel which will then start to flash, giving off an audio tone and activating the motor to power down the shutter to its closed position. A built-in timer allows the setting of fixed delay times from receipt of the alarm signal to motor activation.

For the FS75 - As above, but a signal is sent to the shutter solenoid release mechanism allowing the shutter to gravity close through the motor gears. The unit incorporates a Solenoid Battery Backup.

Back-up power unit if mains power fails under fire conditions. Also, when using the shutter under normal conditions, if there is a power failure, the battery backup unit can be used to open or close the shutter once.

Note: the unit will require a recharging period of up to 8 hours. The maximum stand-by period for this unit is 4 hours. Typical internal battery lifetime is 1-2 years depending on usage and operating conditions. Replacement batteries can be ordered when required. The unit must be plugged into the electrical mains at all times.

Note: Link up to the buildings fire alarm system must be carried out by the customer's alarm engineer. It is not the responsibility of the roller shutter installation engineer to make the final connection to the fire detection system. This is the responsibility of the fire alarm engineer. The customer is responsible for a fire alarm test being carried out to ensure that the shutter operates in a fire situation.

A roller shutter is classified as a piece of machinery and must be regularly inspected. A service engineer will not be able to sign off a shutter as safe unless they can physically check all overhead supporting components and mechanical release mechanisms. Suitable access must be 'designed in' by those designing and installing fixtures and ceilings.

Full width access will be needed for a motor or barrel change, and guides will need to be removed to repair curtain damage. HVP security Shutters Ltd. will not be held responsible for associated cost 'by others' in removing materials and fixtures to gain access to the shutter components.

The following is intended as guidance only. HVP security Shutters Ltd or their representatives are not qualified to advise on the suitability of support structures or the installation of additional fire protection measures and do not accept responsibility for decisions based on them.

Authorisation must be obtained from the relevant enforcing authorities/building control bodies. Closure in a fire situation should only be released by a heat sensor, such as a fusible link or electric heat detector in the immediate vicinity of the door. Closure should not be initiated by smoke detectors or a fire alarm system unless the shutter is also intended to partially descend to form part of a boundary to a smoke reservoir. See The Building Regulations 2010 Fire Safety Approved Document B.

Where fire shutters are used to protect serveries, it is assumed that the counter is composed of non-combustible material and the counter is of sufficient width to ensure that the bottom rail movement under heating cannot result in the rail overhanging the counter.

The structure supporting the rolling shutter must be a fire-resistant separating element (to BS476 Part 20, 21, 22: 1987), having a fire resistance greater than, or equal to, that required of the shutter itself. It also must be capable of supporting the shutter for the required fire resistance period without compromising the fire performance of the shutter. In addition, consideration must be given to the loads imposed by the various door-set components, i.e. endplates and barrel support brackets.

All electrically-operated and upward-lifting doors must have a suitable maintenance system in place and details recorded in a log book. See The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (UK and Wales).On request, HVP Security Shutters Ltd. can offer this service and issue a completion certificate at each inspection.

The main purpose of a fire-resisting roller shutter is to prevent the spread of fire. Therefore, authorities often require fire shutters to be installed in public areas where there is a risk of fire. Good examples are canteens, serveries and commercial kitchens. Fire shutters are also often used to keep certain areas safe for people in the event of a fire; think of escape corridors in stadiums, shopping centres or office blocks.

Many fire resisting roller shutters perform a double function; as well as automatically closing in the event of a fire, they are used as everyday security shutters, very similar to our Screenguard roller shutter.

All signals converge in the fire alarm control panel which sets off alarms to permanently manned stations and the fire department. In addition, the fire detection technology controls and monitors in many cases all fire protection systems.
