Egis ChillGlide C80

The ChillGlide C80 is the workhorse of the temperature-controlled chain: an insulated automatic sliding door for chiller rooms operating between 0 and +15 C. In food processing, dairy, pharma warehousing and horticulture packhouses, the chiller door is the most-cycled door in the building — and every open second is energy leaving the room. The C80 answers with fast automatic operation (0.4–0.8 m/s), a tight-sealing 80 mm leaf, and a food-safe finish that stands up to daily washdown.

The leaf is built around a high-density injected polyurethane core — insulation with no voids, no settling and no thermal bridges through fixings. A thermal-bridge-free frame and double EPDM gasket close the perimeter, so the door's insulation value is real in service, not just on a datasheet. The face is food-safe coated steel with a stainless option, smooth and easy to clean, and the automatic drive takes radar, remote or pull-cord activation to match the traffic pattern: forklifts get radar, pedestrian traffic gets touchless sensors.

Egis sizes the C80 for Indian cold-chain realities: clear openings from 1000 to 3000 mm wide and 2200 to 3500 mm high, manual option where automation is unnecessary, and commissioning that sets opening speed against the room's recovery time. As a door automation company in India, Egis supplies the complete system — leaf, frame, track, drive and safety — rather than a leaf that someone else must make work.

Temperature loss through a chiller door is dominated by air exchange, not conduction — a slow or leaky door costs more in a week than its price difference. The C80 attacks both. The automatic drive opens fast on approach and closes promptly behind traffic, minimising the open-time window; the double EPDM gasket and thermal-bridge-free frame mean that when the door is closed, it is genuinely closed, with no metal path conducting heat straight through the frame into the room.

The 80 mm injected-polyurethane core is the right thickness for the 0 to +15 C band: thick enough to insulate, light enough for fast cycling on a standard-duty drive. Heated thresholds and frame options handle the condensation line where humid Indian ambient air meets the cold room, preventing the ice and water pooling that makes chiller entrances hazardous.
