Overview
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.
How the C80 holds temperature at high cycle counts
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.

Energy-saving automation for logistics hubs with constant forklift traffic.
FAQs
What temperature range is the ChillGlide C80 rated for?
0 C to +15 C — the chiller band covering fresh food storage, dairy, pharma 2–8 C areas and air-conditioned staging. For sub-zero rooms see the FrostGlide F120 (to -28 C) and BlastShield B170 (to -40 C).
Why does opening speed matter for a chiller door?
Because most energy loss happens while the door is open, not through the closed leaf. A door that opens fast on approach and closes promptly behind traffic can cut air exchange dramatically compared to a slow manual door left standing open. The C80's 0.4–0.8 m/s drive is specified against the room's traffic pattern during commissioning.
What is a thermal-bridge-free frame?
A thermal bridge is a conductive path — usually metal — that carries heat straight through an insulated assembly, bypassing the insulation. The C80's frame breaks that path, so the frame line insulates nearly as well as the leaf. Without it, the frame becomes a permanent condensation and heat-leak line around the door.
Can the door handle forklift traffic?
Yes — radar activation, a robust track system and optional protective bumpers and kick plates are specified for forklift routes. The clear opening range (up to 3000 mm wide) covers standard pallet movement.
Is the finish food-safe?
The standard face is food-safe coated steel, smooth and washdown-tolerant; a stainless steel option is available for areas with aggressive cleaning or direct food-zone adjacency. Both present a crevice-free face that cleans quickly.
Do you provide installation and commissioning in India?
Yes. Egis supplies the C80 as a complete installed system across India — leaf, frame, track, drive, activation and safety — and commissions opening speed, safety devices and (where fitted) interlocking against the room's actual use.
