Freezer warehouses, chilled loading bays, and temperature-controlled logistics hubs are among the most energy-intensive environments in the supply chain.
With systems running around the clock to maintain precise internal conditions, even small inefficiencies can lead to significant operational costs.
One of the biggest sources of avoidable energy loss are doors. Every second they stay open, cold air escapes and warm air rushes in, placing extra strain on your cooling systems and driving up your energy bills. When warm, humid air enters a cold space, it doesn’t just raise the temperature, it also brings moisture. That moisture condenses quickly, settling on surfaces and forming ice around door tracks, frames, and floor areas.
Ice can create a safety hazard and reduce the efficiency of your cooling systems, causing damage to door components, and risks to non-compliance in regulated environments.
Left unchecked, ice build-up can also lead to higher maintenance costs and unexpected downtime. Fortunately, these issues are avoidable with the right cold store industrial door system in place.
The Klimate K2 Freezer Door from BID Group operates at speeds of up to 1.5 metres per second. That rapid action means the door can fully open and close in a matter of seconds, keeping internal temperatures stable while maintaining a steady flow of people, products, and vehicles.
Compared to slower alternatives, high speed doors like the K2 can reduce cold air loss by up to 80%, especially in high-frequency applications.
The K2 doesn’t just move fast; it’s built to hold the cold. The curtain uses a twin-layer construction with a 50mm air gap between the layers, acting as a thermal buffer to reduce heat transfer. This helps keep your freezer or chill environment sealed tight, even during constant use.
The curtain also features a hydrophobic coating, which prevents moisture from clinging to the surface to improve hygiene and extend the door’s life span.
BID Group have installed K2 doors in cold chain facilities across the UK, from frozen food production facilities to pharmaceutical storage zones, the K2 plays a vital role in temperature consistency, product integrity and compliance with regulatory demands.
BID Group manufacture all K2 doors to order, so we can tailor the size, fit and finish to suit your existing infrastructure. Contact us for a free site survey and we’ll help you explore the best solution for your space. www.bidgroup.co.uk
