Hinged Door Frame Pvc Profile
Designed for 80 mm Cold Room Wall Panels
BOB-10018 is designed as a base frame profile suitable for cold room wall panels with a thickness of 80 mm. This base dimension forms the starting point of a modular frame system that can easily be adapted to thicker wall panels using dedicated extension profiles.
This structure allows manufacturers and installers to use a single main frame profile for a wide range of cold room projects, improving efficiency and reducing inventory complexity.
Modular Frame System with Extension Profiles
One of the key advantages of BOB-10018 PVC Frame Profile is its modular frame system, which enables easy adaptation to different wall panel thicknesses.
To reach greater wall panel depths, the following extension profiles are used:
- 20 mm Extension Profile (BOB-10019)
- 30 mm Extension Profile (BOB-10092)
By combining these extension profiles with the main frame profile, cold room door frames can be produced for wall panel thicknesses of 100 mm, 120 mm, 140 mm, 150 mm, and beyond.
How the Modular System Works
- The main PVC frame profile forms the base of the door frame
- Extension profiles are selected according to the wall panel thickness
- Extension profiles are cut at 45-degree angles
- They are installed using a snap-fit (hammer-in) method, without welding
- Multiple extensions can be combined to reach the required depth
This modular approach provides:
- High flexibility for different cold room projects
- Faster production and installation
- Reduced stock variety
- Consistent frame geometry
Cold Room Door Frame Production Process
The production of cold room hinged door frames using BOB-10018 follows a systematic and efficient process.
1️⃣ Cutting the Main Frame Profile
The PVC frame profile is cut to the required door dimensions using 45-degree angle cuts, ensuring clean and precise corner joints.
2️⃣ Frame Assembly
The cut profiles are assembled into a rectangular frame using:
- PVC welding machines for maximum rigidity, or
- Mechanical assembly accessories as an alternative solution
Both methods result in a strong and durable frame structure.
3️⃣ Installation of Extension Profiles
When the wall panel thickness exceeds 80 mm, extension profiles (BOB-10019 and BOB-10092) are added:
- Profiles are cut at 45 degrees
- Installed without welding
- Fixed using the snap-fit method
This allows fast and reliable depth adjustment.
4️⃣ Rear Cover Profile Installation
After the required depth is achieved, the rear cover profile (BOB-10024) is prepared:
- Cut at 45-degree angles
- Welded into a rectangular frame
- Installed onto the extension profiles using a snap-fit method
This completes the structural assembly of the door frame.
Integrated Heater Cable Channel
A distinctive feature of BOB-10018 PVC Frame Profile is the integrated heater cable channel located on the front side of the frame.
This channel serves two essential purposes:
- Accommodating the heater cable used to prevent freezing
- Providing a stable seating surface for the door gasket
The heater channel is closed with an aluminum strip (BOB-10001), which acts as an efficient heat conductor. This ensures uniform heat distribution along the sealing line.
The heater cable installed in this channel prevents the door gasket from freezing or sticking to the frame, guaranteeing smooth door operation even at very low temperatures.
Advantages of Heater Channel Design
- Prevents ice formation around the door perimeter
- Improves door opening and closing performance
- Protects the gasket from damage
- Enhances overall sealing efficiency
This design makes BOB-10018 especially suitable for low-temperature cold rooms and freezer applications.
PVC Material Advantages
PVC is widely used in cold room door frame systems due to its superior properties:
- Low thermal conductivity reduces thermal bridging
- High resistance to moisture and condensation
- Smooth, hygienic surface suitable for food-grade environments
- Easy cutting, welding, and assembly
- Long service life with minimal maintenance
BOB-10018 fully utilizes these advantages to deliver consistent performance in demanding cold storage conditions.
Areas of Application
BOB-10018 PVC Frame Profile is commonly used in:
- Cold room hinged doors
- Industrial cold storage facilities
- Food processing and storage plants
- Logistics and distribution centers
- Freezer rooms and deep-freeze applications
