What Goes Wrong When a Cold Storage Door Underperforms

Doors that are unreliable, too slow, or don’t seal tightly cost you in spoilage, energy loss, and downtime.

How much depends on three things:

  • Temperature differential between zones

  • How often the door cycles per shift

  • Traffic type and volume at the doorway

Which Door Fits Your Operation?

Turbo-Seal® Insulated

Best suited to freezer-to-ambient and freezer-to-cooler applications where keeping energy costs down matters most. An insulated fabric panel reduces heat transfer through the door, while full perimeter brush seals keep conditioned air where it belongs.

  • Up to 12' wide × 16' high; 3-ply Rylon® panel standard with full perimeter seals

  • Average opening speed up to 101 inches per second; bottom bar releases on impact in either direction and self-repairs if hit
Turbo-Seal Insulated

PredaCool

For cooler and freezer environments with regular forklift traffic, with a break-away 3-ply fabric panel that releases on impact. Tight seals help maintain temperatures between zones.

  • Up to 12' wide × 16' high; 3-ply Rylon® panel standard with full perimeter seals

  • Opens at up to 75 inches per second; Quick-Set™ Break-Away™ tabs allow the bottom bar to release on impact in either direction and easily be reset
PredaCool

Turbo-Slide®

Increase productivity with full-height instant access in fast-paced freezer environments. Insulated EVA foam panels deliver R-values from R-17 to R-40, making it the strongest thermal barrier in the cold storage lineup.

  • Up to 10' wide × 24' high single slide; up to 16' wide × 24' high bi-parting

  • 1-million-cycle / 5-year limited warranty on mechanical components, standard door panel material, and System 4+™ Door Controller

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions from facility managers, refrigeration engineers, and design professionals looking at cold storage doors.

Fabric doors, like the Turbo-Seal® Insulated and PredaCool, roll vertically. This suits high-cycle interior cold storage doorways and provides break-away capabilities. Sliding doors like the Turbo-Slide® move horizontally, which provides instant access to the full height of the door opening and offers higher R-value panels.
