How We Expanded High Speed Doors from 3 to 7 at a Chicken Processing Factory in Kuching
At BAROS, our team supported a chicken processing factory in Kuching, Sarawak, as it expanded its high speed doors from 3 to 7 units to accommodate growing production needs and improve daily access between factory areas.
As production activities increase, managing factory entrances becomes increasingly important. This project demonstrates why a food processing facility may install high speed doors alongside existing shutter doors to support smoother movement, temperature management and a cleaner production environment.
Factory Expansion Requirements
Why This Kuching Chicken Processing Factory Needed More High Speed Doors
The factory previously had 3 high speed doors. As its production requirements increased, the customer decided to expand the total number to 7.
For a chicken processing facility, entrances are not simply access points. They also affect how workers and materials move between different production areas.
The expansion focused on several practical requirements:
Increasing production activity
Providing suitable access points as factory operations expand.
Temperature management
Reducing unnecessary air exchange between areas with different temperatures.
Production environment
Limiting opportunities for external dust and insects to enter when doors are opened.
Daily accessibility
Supporting frequent movement without keeping entrances open longer than necessary.
Our team supported the installation with these operational considerations in mind.
Door System Comparison
Why Install High Speed Doors When Shutter Doors Are Already Available?
During the project, we explained why a factory may need both a conventional shutter door and a high speed door.
Although both serve as entrance barriers, they have different practical roles.
Shutter Door
High Speed Door
Provides a physical barrier when an entrance is closed.
Supports faster opening and closing during regular operations.
Can be suitable for securing an entrance outside operating hours.
Helps reduce the time an entrance remains open during frequent movement.
May be opened less frequently depending on factory operations.
Can support more convenient access between active production areas.
Rather than replacing every existing shutter door, a high speed door can be added to support daily factory movement and environmental management.
How Our Team Carried Out the High Speed Door Installation
Our project footage shows BAROS personnel working on industrial door components and demonstrating the installed doors.
Stage
Our On-Site Work
01. Entrance Review
Explained the existing shutter door arrangement and why additional high speed doors were needed.
02. Component Preparation
Handled and positioned metal door components near the installation areas.
03. Installation Work
Used a scissor lift to access and work on components above the doorway.
04. Operation Testing
Demonstrated the blue high speed doors opening and closing while our personnel observed their operation.
The footage also shows yellow strip curtains within the factory environment. Door specifications and control arrangements depend on the requirements of each installation.

Factory Operational Benefits
How High Speed Doors Support Chicken Processing Factory Operations
1
Helping Manage Temperature Differences
Chicken processing facilities may have areas operating at different temperatures. When an entrance remains open, warmer and cooler air can exchange between these spaces.
A suitable high speed door can help reduce unnecessary air exchange by limiting opening time. Our cold room high speed door installation project demonstrates another application focused on cold air loss.
2
Limiting Exposure to Dust and Insects
Factory entrances can create opportunities for dust, insects and outside air to enter production areas. Faster door closure can help limit exposure, alongside the facility's other hygiene and pest management measures.
3
Supporting Frequent Factory Movement
As production increases, workers and materials may need to move more frequently between areas. Fast-operating doors can support this movement while reducing unnecessary entrance opening time.
Expansion Project Highlights
What This Kuching Factory Expansion Demonstrates
By increasing its high speed door quantity from 3 to 7, the factory incorporated additional entrance solutions into its expanding operations.
Our installation footage demonstrates the practical work involved, from component handling and elevated installation to completed door operation. It also highlights why food factories consider both daily accessibility and production environment management when planning their entrances.
Plan Your Chicken Processing Factory High Speed Door Installation With BAROS
At BAROS, we help food processing factories evaluate suitable high speed door solutions for their entrances and daily operations. Contact our team to discuss your factory layout, access requirements and expansion plans.
The factory expanded its total from 3 to 7 high speed doors as its production requirements increased and additional entrance solutions were needed.
Yes. Shutter doors and high speed doors can serve different purposes, allowing factories to retain existing entrance barriers while supporting frequent daily access.
Yes. Faster door closure can help limit air exchange between areas with different temperatures, although actual results depend on operating conditions.
They can be suitable for selected entrances, depending on temperature, hygiene, traffic and operational requirements.
Yes. BAROS provides industrial high speed door installation services across Malaysia, including this chicken processing factory project in Kuching, Sarawak.
Final Thoughts
Conclusion
At BAROS, our team helps food processing factories plan practical high speed door solutions as their operations grow. This Kuching project demonstrates how expanding from 3 to 7 high speed doors can support factory access planning and production environment management.
