Union Industries, the market leading manufacturer of the Matadoor Range of Hi-Speed Doors, has launched its ground-breaking Eiger Hi-Speed Freezer Door in Germany. Unveiled at the Intercool 2008 exhibition for the European frozen food sector, the Eiger Door is a new innovation for the German market, which offers a real alternative to traditional and ineffective freezer doors. Following the launch at the Düsseldorf exhibition, Union will be marketing the Eiger Door to the German cold storage, supermarket and frozen food sectors.
In the UK and Ireland, the Eiger Door has proven to be a real revelation in the refrigeration sectors of various ‘blue chip’ companies such as; Aldi Stores Ltd, Kerry Food Group, Tesco Stores Ltd, ASDA Wal-Mart, 3663 and Keystone Distribution UK, to name but a few.
Opening at 1.6 metres per second and closing automatically after a short dwell time, the Eiger allows for continuous traffic flow without compromising freezer temperature and prevents the build up of ice and frost around the doorway.
Integral to the smooth running of the doors is the patented dehumidified air circulatory system, which removes the moisture that causes ice to form while also keeping the drive and working parts dry and clean.
The Eiger Door is also the only industrial freezer door that incorporates a bottom beam ‘Crash-Out’ device, which minimises the effect of impact damage usually caused by forklift trucks. This system is supported by an ‘Auto-Reset’ facility allowing the door to continue working following impact, which ensures the freezer’s operation remains uninterrupted.
Isobel Schofield, Managing Director of Union Industries, said: “We are confident that we can replicate the UK success of the Eiger Door in Germany. The cold storage and frozen food sectors are expanding in central Europe and the German’s are at the heart of that growth”
“Fortunately we are not total unknowns to German companies as we already supply Eigers to such as Aldi Stores here in the UK, where they have been very well received.”
“The Eiger Door offers companies a really innovative and effective freezer door solution. Its unique features and energy saving benefits make it stand out from anything else on the market”.
“Appearing at Intercool was the perfect launch pad for the Eiger Door and the enthusiasm with which it was received exceeded all expectations. We are all looking forward to exciting times ahead.”
