Installed to allow inspection and maintenance access inside belt conveyor transfer chutes and other enclosures, the Martin Door features a low profile that minimises dust accumulation on the door and frame while providing a dust-tight seal, the company said.
The Illinois-based company said the door allowed safe, secure inspection of critical areas without the need for specialised tools.
The new door offers the option of a removable steel screen to protect personnel from being struck by material cast out of the enclosure when the door is open.
The top of the handle of the new door stands less than 2 inches (50mm) above the wall.
The door is available in five standard sizes: 9 x 12in, 12 x 14in, 12 x 18in, 18 x 24in and 24 x 24in (229 x 305mm, 305 x 356mm, 305 x 457mm, 457 x 610mm and 610 x 610mm).
Available in painted mild steel or 304 stainless steel, the door is installed by bolting or welding its frame to the wall of the structure. A lockable latch is also available.
