Inflatable dock seals stop draught
August 1st 2011 The installation of Thortight
Inflatable Dock Seals, supplied by
Thorworld Industries, has provided
ventilation systems manufacturer
Fläkt Woods UK with a means of
restricting unwanted loading bay
draughts at its Colchester premises.
Fläkt Woods operates out of an
open-plan warehouse the size of four
football pitches.With no internal
walls, any draught entering the
building via the loading bays impacts
all employees, as well as leading to
increased energy costs.
Reported to be extremely effective
and easy to install, operate and
maintain, Thortight Inflatable Dock
Seals are fitted around the sides and
top of each loading bay. The vehicle
simply reverses up to the dock as
normal and, once in position, the
Thortight seals are inflated in around
30 seconds to create a tight seal before
the doors are opened and loading/
unloading can proceed. Curved sides
guarantee that an effective seal is
maintained even in high winds.
