Stop the Ice Build-Up: A Safer, Smarter Freezer Door Solution

If you’ve ever opened a freezer rapid roller door only to be greeted by a wall of ice and slippery chaos, you’re not alone. That sudden blast of frozen air, ice flakes hitting the floor, and the growing safety risks are all too familiar in cold storage environments. Maybe you’ve even witnessed a forklift sliding into the wall or—worse still—your boss taking a tumble and hurting themselves. It’s an everyday hazard in facilities with outdated or poorly insulated freezer doors.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

 

How the Ulti DuoTherm Door Can Help

Here at Ulti Group, we understand the critical importance of maintaining clean, safe, and energy-efficient freezer environments. That’s why we developed the Ulti DuoTherm Door—a purpose-built solution designed to eliminate ice build-up and prevent the dangerous, costly incidents that come with it.

This door is more than just a barrier; it’s a technological step forward. With its dual-skin design, it creates a high-performance seal that drastically reduces temperature exchange, effectively keeping ice formation at bay. Not only does this help maintain safety on the floor, but it also ensures more consistent internal temperatures, contributing to energy savings and improved operational efficiency.

 

The Benefits Go Beyond Safety

Installing the Ulti DuoTherm is about more than avoiding slip-ups. It also supports:

  • Reduced energy costs by minimising cold air loss
  • Less downtime caused by manual ice removal or door maintenance
  • Improved hygiene due to less moisture and ice accumulation
  • Enhanced workflow as forklifts and staff can move freely without hazard

When you upgrade your freezer with a door built to withstand New Zealand’s most demanding cold storage conditions, you’re investing in more than just equipment—you’re investing in people’s safety, your operation’s efficiency, and your peace of mind.

How Healthy Are Your Doors?

healthy-doors

Being able to identify an ‘unhealthy’ door is a big part of keeping your operations moving. The last thing you want is to be caught unaware with a damaged or malfunctioning door that results in costly emergency repairs. Understanding what to look for can save you time and money as you’ll be more aware of when a door may need repairs or replacing and can plan accordingly.

Enquire Now >

Let’s take a look at the 5 things that can impact your doors operations and what to look for in each area to make sure things are healthy and running smoothly.

1: The Curtains and Seals

Be sure to take a close look at the curtain and surrounding vermin seal for any cracks, holes or tears. Make sure the curtain is hanging straight and not popping out from the retainers along the sides. If it’s a freezer door, the curtain should be heavy and stiff.

2: The Door’s Operation

Run the door up and down two to three times to check if it’s running smoothly. Keep an eye out for any sticky spots and make sure it always stops in the right place at both the top and the bottom. This is also a good time to listen for any unusual noises when it’s in operation.

3: The Tracks and Guides

Check along the tracks and guides and their covers for any sections that may be twisted or bent. Make sure they’re parallel and properly aligned with the floor and not impeding the door’s movements in any way.

4: The Motor and Head Unit

Take a look for any visible wear and tear and make sure the door is still firmly anchored to the wall. Check for any electrical smells or strange noises when the door is running or immediately after.

5: The Electrical Components

Examine the electrical connections and components for any sign of damage, making sure the control box is in good condition and all activations are working properly. It’s also a great time to test the emergency stop to make sure it’s functioning well.

Running through these 5 things regularly will keep you in the know about your doors’ health and make sure you’re aware of any issues that might come up before they’re a problem.
