Sliding Man Doors
When it comes to personnel access through mine doors, at
American Mine
Door we offer some of the safest, most reliable man door solutions
available in the industry today.
A sliding man door installed into the wing of our main pressure door
offers egress for personnel without the need to swing the main doors.
Whether for convenience or use in an emergency, our sliding man doors
open and close even in extremely high water pressure.
AMD’s sliding man doors are available in manual-close, self-closing, and
fully-automatic operation.
Personnel Door Profiles
The installation in the image at right shows a 20?X 18?mine door with
a sliding man door installed in the wing of the main door. This
particular personnel door demonstrates a manual open and close design.
This represents a good example of an AMD mine door installation.
Sliding doors in the wing are used when it is too difficult to excavate
the sides of the tunnel, or in situations when an egress door is
mandatory. After
rebar is installed, the “walls?are then sprayed with cement. Once the
cement has hardened, the walls become very strong and load bearing.
