The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) offers a wide range of rapid roll high speed doors suitable for most applications, including cold storage environments. Cold storage environments are prevalent in food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, certain logistics facilities, and more.
What Do Cold Storage Doors Require?
Cold storage facilities require heat to be kept out and cold air to be contained inside the room. Historically, heavy, insulated solid doors have been used to try to achieve this. These doors generally open to the side to allow access in and out of the storage room.
Why are Traditional Cold Storage Doors Ineffective?
These doors are heavy and slow to move. Their slowness of operation inevitably allows cold air to escape making temperature control a challenge and requiring larger energy loads to maintain the cold storage environment. This comes at a financial cost to the operator of the cold storage facility.
The use of rapid roll high speed doors are becoming increasingly popular in such environments. They are fast moving, which assists in maintaining temperature control by preventing cold air from escaping during the operation of the door.
Suitable rapid roll high speed doors have considerable insulation and sealing characteristics further aiding temperature control. Also, high speed doors can offer many safety features such as motion sensors to avoid hitting obstacles in their path, e.g. people or forklifts.
The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) offers a wide range of rapid roll high speed doors suitable for use in food processing, healthcare, leisure, pharmaceutical and research environments.
High standards of cleanliness are required in food manufacturing. High speed doors are suitable for all applications where food safety and cleanliness are crucial.
Strict legislation is enforced on medical facilities and hospitals with regards to frequent usage of doors. Rapid roll high speed doors assist in stopping the spreading of infections in hospitals, operating theatres, intensive care units, patient wards and X-ray rooms.
Doors within leisure centres, swimming pools and sports facilities need to cope with frequent usage while being hygienic at the same time. High speed doors are ideal for such use in leisure facilities as they are able to cope with high levels of traffic, while at the same time being hygienic, smooth and non-absorbent. They are resistant to heavy cleaning agents and are rust resistant in such high moisture environments.
Within pharmaceutical applications, research laboratories and cleanrooms, a high level of clean-ability and hygiene is required. High speed doors do not harbour bacteria, due to the smooth, seamless surfaces and non-porous qualities. They play a role in maintaining correct room pressures and air circulation rates.
