Flowslide, The Perfect Solution to Separate Passenger Flows
01 May 2005
Royal Boon Edam, the world market leader in revolving doors, has developed the Flowslide. The Flowslide is a high-tech combination of a revolving door and curved sliding panels. This revolutionary door has been developed in response to the regulations for separation of passenger flows in terminals.
With the Flowslide, Boon Edam makes it possible for single storey terminals to be designed or existing terminal infrastructure to be retained, while effecting the separation of passenger flows. This solution proves that it is possible to reconcile passenger comfort with improved security measures.
Working Principle
The Flowslide consists of a rigid central door wing and three curved sliding panels, which revolve within a fixed curved wall. The sliding panels move as the door wing rotates, alternately opening and closing entry and exit points within the curved wall. This combination of sliding panels and the central door wing is synchronised in such a way that two passenger flows can cross each other without coming into contact or being able to merge.
Passenger Terminals
The Flowslide can be used in all kinds of terminals where it is necessary to separate two flows of people, e.g. separation of arriving and departing passengers in airports, seaports and railway terminals.
