Overview
Food plants audit doors. Auditors look for crevices, ledges, exposed fasteners and any place where Listeria can hide — and an ordinary cold-room door fails that audit on its first inspection. The FoodSafe C85 is a hygienic chiller door designed to pass it: a seamless food-safe GRP face with no exposed fixings, coved frame details, and 85 mm PIR insulation for 0 to +12 C rooms.
The C85 is available as a hinged door or a sliding door on stainless, washdown-rated gear. Gaskets are food-grade and replaceable without tools — because a gasket that needs a service call is a gasket that stays dirty. The threshold is flush or ramped for pallet-jack traffic. Every detail assumes a daily washdown and a quarterly audit.
Egis positions the FoodSafe pair — the C85 chiller and the F125 freezer — as the hygienic standard for dairy, ready-meal, bakery and beverage plants. It is the door that makes the hygiene manager's job easier instead of harder.
How hygienic design defeats harbourage
Harbourage is the food-safety term for anywhere bacteria can hide from cleaning: a screw head, a square corner, a cracked seal. The C85 is designed by subtraction — no exposed fixings on the food-safe face, coved (curved) frame details instead of square corners, and a seamless GRP skin with nowhere for water or soil to lodge. What cleaning cannot reach, design removes.
The gaskets are treated as food-contact components, not hardware: food-grade compound, tool-free replaceable, so the seal line — the dirtiest line on any door — can be renewed in minutes during a sanitation window. The stainless sliding gear and washdown-rated hardware complete the package: the whole door tolerates the daily hosedown that hygienic operation demands.

FAQs
What makes a door 'hygienic'?
Hygienic design means no harbourage: no exposed fixings, no square corners, no crevices where bacteria can hide from cleaning. The C85's seamless food-safe face, coved frame details and tool-free gaskets are all specified so that every surface can be cleaned and verified — which is what auditors check.
Hinged or sliding — which should I choose?
Hinged for personnel openings and moderate traffic; sliding for wide openings, pallet-jack routes and hands-free operation. Both formats carry the same seamless face, coved details and food-grade gaskets.
How are the gaskets replaced?
Without tools, in minutes. The food-grade gaskets pull out of their retainers and the replacements press in — designed so the seal line can be renewed inside a normal sanitation window, not scheduled as a service visit.
What about pallet-jack traffic at the threshold?
The threshold is specified flush or ramped for pallet-jack routes, so wheels cross without impact damage to the door or the seal line.
Will the door pass a food-safety audit?
The C85 is designed against the checklist auditors use: seamless food-contact faces, no exposed fixings, coved details, food-grade gaskets and washdown-rated construction, with food-contact materials compliance documentation supplied.
What sizes are available?
Clear openings from 800 to 1200 mm wide and 2000 to 2400 mm high in hinged format; sliding formats to order for wider openings.
