Saphir
Vertical air curtain for revolving and swing doors
The Saphir is a slim, vertically installed design air curtain developed specifically for installation alongside revolving and swing doors. Its contoured housing is adapted to the geometry of the respective door, allowing the unit to be integrated directly beside the door system while requiring minimal space.
The patented CONVERGO® pressure chamber nozzle system produces a stable, precisely directed air stream that reduces the exchange of indoor and outdoor air. This can help to reduce the loss of heated or cooled air as well as draughts around the entrance.
Depending on the power level, the Saphir is suitable for revolving doors with diameters of up to 6.00 m. Different unit heights as well as custom colours and finishes allow the air curtain to be adapted to the respective door system and its architectural surroundings.
Precisely directed airflow for effective air separation while requiring a lower air volume than conventional air curtain systems.
Effectiveness and reliability
Designed for cost-effective operation
The patented CONVERGO® pressure chamber nozzle system enables precise airflow control with a lower air volume than conventional air curtains with louvred discharge systems.
Quality made in Germany
Teddington air curtains are manufactured in Germany. For us, “Made in Germany” represents a high standard of quality – from precision manufacturing and careful assembly through to the final inspection of every unit.
Effective airflow across the full doorway
For effective separation, the air stream needs to reach the floor across the full width of the doorway.
Technical data
Slim vertical air curtain for revolving and swing doors
The slim Saphir column air curtains are designed specifically for installation alongside revolving and swing doors. The contoured housing can be adapted to the geometry of the door, allowing the units to integrate neatly into the door system while requiring minimal space. For revolving doors with a 90° opening angle, installation on both sides of the door is recommended for effective air separation.

Engineered design, high-quality manufacturing
The Saphir combines a slim, carefully engineered housing with high-quality manufacturing. Its contoured shape can be adapted to the geometry of the door, while different unit heights, finishes and colour options allow the air curtain to be integrated into a wide range of entrance designs.

The contoured housing can be adapted to the geometry of the revolving or swing door.
High-quality powder coating, individual colours possible.
1 of 6CNC manufacturing of the housing components enables a high level of dimensional accuracy and consistent manufacturing quality.
2 of 6The aerodynamically shaped air intake grille integrates neatly into the contoured housing design.
3 of 6The CONVERGO® nozzle can be adjusted in defined increments, allowing the air discharge angle to be set precisely.
4 of 6The discharge opening of the patented CONVERGO® nozzle extends almost the entire height of the appliance without interruption.
5 of 6The large nozzle sidewalls help to guide the airflow through the discharge opening. An additional flow profile divides the airflow into a primary and secondary air stream. The higher discharge velocity of the primary air stream increases the penetration depth of the airflow.
6 of 6Effective air separation for revolving and swing doors
The Saphir is positioned alongside the door and directs the air stream across the entrance. For revolving doors with a 90° opening angle, units can be installed on both sides of the door to provide effective air separation across the opening.
Wide range of accessories
A wide range of accessories is available for our air curtains – from contact switches and thermostats to temperature sensors, valves and practical mounting accessories. This allows the units to be adapted to different requirements and installation situations.
Solenoid valve
The solenoid valve, controlled by the Teddington control board, automatically shuts off the water in summer mode so that the air curtain runs in recirculation mode without heating.
Door contact
With the door contact, the control system switches on the air curtain as soon as the door is opened. When the door is closed, the air curtain is automatically switched off again.
Sound insulation
The air curtain can also be fitted with sound-absorbing insulation to further reduce operating noise.
