Interpretation principle
The FlipFlow TWIN is designed for automatic handling of passenger traffic in and around airports and
other security-sensitive buildings. People walk individually through the corridor in only one direction
and without the ability to go back in the direction they came from, i.e. in the opposite direction. The
FlipFlow also prevents uncontrolled access by people coming from a public area to a security zone or
a protected area.
Applications
– At airports between public areas and security zones (e.g. landside/airside)
– For the protection of other security sensitive areas such as ports and railway stations
– For controlling access to public buildings or industrial facilities
– For secondary inputs that are not monitored
Construction
– Extruded aluminium construction with aluminium covers and covers (aluminium or stainless steel)
– Two sets of DDF double swing doors, designed for long service life
– A master controller monitors the flow of people in combination with numerous electronic sensors
– The glazed side walls facilitate visual monitoring
– Interior lighting with 6 spots
Surface Coating/Glass Specifications
– Aluminum parts (door leaf/panel/ceiling)
– Powder coated - standard RAL/NCS colours (also available in stainless steel)
– Glazing
– Door leaves and side panels: VSG - laminated safety glass 44/2
