In a world where building requirements are getting tougher by the day, it’s crucial to have doors that can stand up to some serious force. That’s where blast resistant doors come into play, and we’re proud to offer McKeon’s product designed to withstand significant blast events, helping to protect people and property from harm.

We bring a strong background in distributing secure and reliable doors. That’s why we’re now offering McKeon’s BlastShield BL6000, a new blast-resistant overhead coiling door.

Let’s learn more.

Engineered for Safety

McKeon’s cutting-edge door has undergone rigorous independent testing by Intertek, conforming to ASTM F2927-21 standards. It achieved an ASTM Damage Level Category II with no more than a half-inch of permanent deformation. This means the BlastShield BL6000 stands strong even under the most demanding blast loads while remaining fully operational.

Key Features

Is the BlastShield BL6000 right for your facility? Here are some of the key features to consider:

• The BlastShield BL6000 was independently tested by Intertek and received an ASTM F2927-21 certification.
• McKeon’s blast resistant door is powered by a robust motor for seamless functionality.
• Select the size you need. It is customizable based on the desired Damage Level Category, Peak Reflected Pressure, and project design requirements.
• Choose a finish that works with your style choices. Available in Dusky Charcoal or powder coat finish from a full range of colors, tailored to your preference.
• This technology is backed by pending patents, a testament to its state-of-the-art design.

Blast Resistant Door Details

The BlastShield BL6000 not only met but exceeded the requirements set by the ASTM F2927-21 shock tube test. Its performance in the industry is outstanding, achieving:

• ASTM Damage Level Category II.
• Minimal permanent deformation – no greater than 1/2”, ensuring operability.
• Witness chamber results recorded no observed debris.
• A certified Peak Reflected Pressure of 10 psi (1,440 psf), setting a new standard in blast resistance.

What is peak reflected pressure? This is a crucial concept in blast resistance. When an incident pressure wave strikes a surface at an angle, it bounces back with increased force. This phenomenon is termed Peak Reflected Pressure, a critical factor in evaluating a door’s effectiveness against blasts.

The BlastShield BL6000 isn’t limited by industry; it’s adaptable to various market needs, including but not limited to:

• Chemical Plants
• Petrochemical Plants
• Plastics & Ethylene Producers
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
• Automotive Assembly Plants
• Engine Test Cells
