Stop the Frost: How SEPPES Cold Storage High Speed Doors Solve the "Energy Leak" in Cold Chain Logistics

Time : 2025-12-06

In the world of cold chain logistics, every degree matters. Maintaining a constant -18°C or -25°C isn't just a requirement; it's a high-cost operation. The biggest enemy of this stability? The doorway.

Standard doors often struggle with ice buildup, slow operation, and poor insulation, leading to massive energy waste and safety hazards. This is where SEPPES cold storage high speed doors step in, specifically engineered to solve the most persistent problem in the industry: Thermal bridging and frost accumulation.

The Real Problem: The "Open Door" Dilemma

Every time a forklift enters or exits a freezer, warm, humid air rushes in. This creates two major issues for facility managers:

Ice Buildup: Moisture condenses and freezes on the door tracks and curtains, causing the door to jam or fail.

Energy Hemorrhage: Your refrigeration system works overtime to compensate for the lost cold air, skyrocketing your electricity bills.

The SEPPES Solution: Advanced Thermal Break Technology

While many doors claim to be "fast," SEPPES focuses on being "Smart and Insulated." Our cold storage high speed doors solve the frost problem through a specific functional innovation: The Integrated Heating & Multi-Layer Insulation System.

1. Multi-Layer Insulated Curtains

Unlike standard PVC doors, SEPPES utilizes a double-layer or even triple-layer fabric structure filled with high-density insulation foam. This creates a "thermal break" that prevents the cold from escaping and the heat from penetrating.

2. Self-Regulating Heating Cables

To combat the dreaded ice buildup, SEPPES integrates anti-freeze heating cables within the side tracks and motor covers. This constant, low-energy warmth ensures that:

The tracks remain dry and ice-free.

The door never jams, even in environments reaching -30°C.

The curtain remains flexible for high-speed operation (up to 1.5m/s).

3. Superior Air-Tightness

A door is only as good as its seal. SEPPES uses a specialized zipper-track design. By eliminating the gap between the curtain and the frame, we achieve a near-hermetic seal, significantly reducing air exchange compared to traditional "brush-seal" doors.

Why This Matters for Your Bottom Line

Investing in a specialized cold storage high speed door isn't just a facility upgrade; it's a financial strategy:

Reduced Energy Costs: Lower thermal exchange means your compressors run less frequently, extending their lifespan and saving thousands in annual energy costs.

Enhanced Safety: Eliminating frost means eliminating slippery floors near the doorway, protecting your workers and equipment.

Product Integrity: Stable temperatures ensure that perishable goods stay within the required safety margins, preventing costly stock loss.

Experience the SEPPES Difference

At SEPPES, we don't just manufacture doors; we engineer solutions for the demanding environment of modern cold chain logistics. Our doors are equipped with industry-leading control systems and safety sensors (Infrared and Wireless Safety Edge) to ensure smooth, high-frequency performance.
