Boon Edam improves passenger flow, EQUIPMENT


Boon Edam Tomsed in the Netherlands has developed Flowslide, a combination of a revolving door and curved sliding panels, in response to the regulations for separation of passenger flows in terminals. 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. In addition to safety sensors, a number of sensors and locking devices are installed to provide security functions. If one of these sensors is activated the door continues to operate normally, but an acoustic alarm and visual signal (on a control panel) will be given to indicate a possible breach of security.


Another new product from Boom Edam is a swing security door wing with a long detection lane designed to prevent tailgating. The Swinglane high-capacity security barrier is available as a single- or multiple-lane set up and is compatible with most access control systems such as card readers or biometric systems.
