Marston, Lincolnshire, UK: Marston QK Cold Stores (Marston), which provides short and long-term freezer storage for supermarkets and food producers, has turned to Union Industries as it completes the refurbishment of its cold store’s freezer chamber.
Union Industries, a manufacturer of industrial roller doors, has fitted one of its Eiger doors to QK’s freezer chamber.
The Eiger door prevents snow and ice forming on the door blade and around the freezer opening, while also helping reduce cold store energy costs. The fast-acting operation of the door, which is activated by radar motion sensors with back up push buttons, reduces the potential for the ingress of ambient air that causes the freezer to work harder to maintain its temperature.
Brent Richardson, general manager, QK Cold Stores, said: “Dependability, the Eiger Door’s integrity and ability to contribute to temperature control, and the levels of on-going support and maintenance were the main reasons we chose Union Industries as the supplier of this important component of the freezer chamber’s upgrade and refurbishment.”
Rob Howe, Union’s technical sales engineer, said: ““Maintaining a consistent internal temperature in a freezer chamber can be a challenge when products regularly are being moved in and out. However, Union’s high-spec Eiger door overcomes that issue with its fast-operating speed, which stops warmer air getting in as well as cold air escaping.
“This also helps keep costs down, which is more critical than ever to companies due to current soaring energy costs.”
The Eiger door is designed for internal openings and is suitable for storage areas requiring temperatures ranging from ambient/chill down to freezer levels of minus 30 degrees Celsius.
