A Guide to Cold Room Insulated Doors
Choosing the right insulated door is essential for maintaining temperature stability, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring smooth operations in your cold storage facility. Here are the most common types:
1️⃣ Hinged Insulated Doors
- Design: Pre-mounted on wall panels for straightforward installation.
- Sizes: Single-leaf doors up to 1.2m x 2.2m; double-leaf options for wider openings.
- Best For: Small to medium cold rooms with adequate swing space.
- Limitation: Requires clearance for door swing, which may limit space usage.
2️⃣ Sliding Insulated Doors
- Design: Manual or electric operation; light-duty and heavy-duty models available.
- Features: Equipped with frame and doorsill heaters to prevent icing and air leakage, ideal for blast freezers.
- Best For: High-traffic areas and facilities with limited space.
- Advantage: Saves space and supports frequent use without obstruction.
3️⃣ Other Door Types
- Rapid Roll-Up Doors: For high-speed logistics and distribution centers.
- Double-Acting Doors: Allow two-way traffic in busy environments.
- Custom Doors: Tailored to specific dimensions and operational needs.
Key Selection Criteria
- Temperature Range: Ensure the door is rated for your cold room’s temperature (e.g., freezer vs. chiller).
- Frequency of Use: Heavy-duty doors for high traffic; standard doors for occasional use.
- Space Constraints: Sliding doors optimize space; hinged doors require swing room.
- Energy Efficiency: Look for tight seals, robust insulation, and heating elements to minimize cold loss.
