Protect your automatic doors from humidity with tropicalisation

Coastal areas and environments with high humidity present an additional challenge for the maintenance of buildings, installations and their electronic components. Automatic doors, especially those installed outdoors, are subject to corrosion caused by these conditions, which over time can affect their control units, leading to breakdowns and unnecessary costs. In accesses located on the seafront, saltpetre adds to the humidity, accelerating the corrosive processes. To avoid these damages, Manusa offers a special treatment for the control units called tropicalisation.

Control units are the electronic components responsible for regulating the opening and closing cycle of automatic doors to ensure safety, precision and efficiency. As an essential part of the system, these units are also exposed to ambient humidity conditions, especially on the exterior doors of buildings and installations.

Thus, the control units of the different models of automatic doors in hotels, restaurants, residences, maritime stations, or any other access near a beach, harbour, lake or shore can suffer from the effects of corrosion caused by high levels of humidity. Moreover, interior entrances to facilities such as spas or gyms can also be affected by water condensation.

Preventive treatment of tropicalisation

Tropicalisation is a treatment carried out by Manusa to protect the electronic components from corrosion using a special coating. For this purpose, a protective layer against oxidation is applied, consisting of specific coatings that prevent the penetration of water and salts into the sensitive elements of the control unit. This results in higher system reliability, fewer service interruptions and a stronger return on investment for the business, even in the most adverse environmental conditions.

Although tropicalisation provides effective protection against corrosion, we also recommend complementing this treatment with a preventive maintenance plan tailored to your needs to ensure that your automatic doors are fully operational (not just the control units) at all times. Periodic inspections allow any type of incident to be detected in good time. If you also want to tackle these challenges from the beginning of your project, Manusa has a 360º consultancy service that accompanies you throughout the whole process to adapt the access to your business needs.

Also, remember that Manusa offers personalised technical assistance throughout the territory thanks to its network of specialised professionals. With this continuous attention, the useful life of the equipment is extended, unexpected failures are avoided, and the reliable performance of your automatic doors is guaranteed.

Choosing Manusa solutions means betting on innovation, durability and safety in any environment, no matter how demanding it may be. With tropicalisation and suitable maintenance, your automatic access will be prepared to resist humidity, saltpetre and the passing of time without renouncing to an efficient and safe operation.
