Why Are Automatic Doors Needed?
In Cold Storage, Buzhane, and especially Frozen Room (negative temperature) environments, frequent transitions with manual doors may lead to:
- Time loss
- Hygiene risks
- Uncontrolled stress on the door leaf
- User fatigue due to heavy door operation
- Energy losses caused by doors remaining open
The Automatic Sliding Door eliminates these risks by providing fast, controlled, quiet, and safe door movement. In frozen room applications, the automatic system also helps reduce heat loss and icing risks by preventing unnecessary open-door durations.
Identical Structure to Standard Sliding Doors
The Automatic Sliding Door manufactured according to BOB Modular Standards is mechanically and structurally identical to the standard cold room sliding door. The automation system is integrated onto this proven mechanical infrastructure.
All technical details and product codes listed below are directly taken from the approved standard sliding door reference content.
Cold Room Automatic Sliding Door Leaf – Manufacturing Structure
The structural frame of the door leaf is manufactured using anodized aluminum profiles, providing high mechanical strength and dimensional stability even for large and heavy doors. The outer surfaces are formed by placing metal sheets into the aluminum profiles.
The door leaf core is filled with polyurethane injection at a density of 42 kg/m³, ensuring high thermal insulation performance for Cold Room, Cold Storage, and Frozen Room applications.
Door leaf surface options:
- Stainless steel sheet
- PVC-coated steel sheet
- Polyester-coated steel sheet
Sheet colors can be customized according to project requirements. In the final stage, gaskets are installed into the aluminum channels, completing the door leaf.
Frozen Rooms – Double Gasket System and Heating Cable Compatibility
The Automatic Sliding Door is fully suitable for Frozen Room (negative temperature) applications, where airtight sealing and ice control are critical.
For such environments:
- A double gasket system creates two independent sealing lines between the door leaf and the frame
- Air leakage is minimized
- Moisture ingress and icing risks are reduced
Additionally, heating cable (resistance cable) integration can be applied to the door frame and critical areas. The heating cable helps prevent ice formation around the door, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the automatic system in frozen conditions.
