Controlling Cold Storage Temperatures, Traffic and Costs
The primary challenge for dry, refrigerated and frozen food distributors is control — controlling the environment, controlling traffic, and controlling costs. With these concerns in mind, Rytec introduced the very first high-speed folding door for the cold storage industry over 30 years ago and remains in firm control of cold storage doors today. Since then, Rytec has expanded this line of doors to address all aspects of food preparation and storage. From meat cutting and banana ripening cold rooms doors to freezer room doors and the ever-growing automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) doors, like the Sure-Seal door, for facilities using state-of-the-art technology to store, pick and ship goods quickly.

Common Cold Storage Environments
- Refrigerated/Freezer Warehousing
- Food Processing
- Food Distribution
- Pharmaceutical/Nutraceutical
- Cosmetics
- Other Temperature-Sensitive Applications
Temperature and Environmental Control
- High-speed opening and closing minimizes air exchange
- Effective perimeter seals, thermal breaks and thermal panel help maintain temperature differentials
- Perfect for coolers, freezers, dry storage, produce, automated storage/retrieval, blast freezers and USDA/FDA processing
Reduced Energy and Maintenance Costs
- Less air infiltration leads to lower refrigeration costs
- State-of-the-art insulated panels eliminate the need for conventional defrost systems in many cases
- Self-repair, break-away, and resetting options help reduce maintenance costs
Cold Storage Case Study
Rytec helped Dade Service Corporation install doors at a national grocery retailer’s central distribution facility.
