Overview
In meat plants the product travels overhead on rails — and every doorway the rail crosses is a sealing problem. Cut a slot for the rail and cold pours out; leave the door open and the cold chain fails. The RailGlide M90 is a sliding cold-room door with a rail cut-out: a shaped, gasketed slot in the upper leaf through which the meat rail passes, so carcasses glide through while the doorway stays thermally sealed around them.
The cut-out is lined with replaceable brush and blade seals that hug the rail and its hangers as they pass, wiping the seal line with every carcass. The leaf carries 90 mm PIR insulation for chiller duty with a heated perimeter gasket, and the full sliding format keeps the wide openings meat plants need for rail curves and switches — clear openings up to 3000 mm wide and 3000 mm high.
Egis engineers the M90 to the plant's actual rail profile and height — send the rail section and the cut-out is built to fit it. Stainless cladding and washdown-rated sliding gear handle the daily hosedown regime of meat processing, and the brush and blade seals are replaceable wear parts, not a service call.
How the rail cut-out seals around a moving rail
Sealing around a rail is a moving-target problem: the rail is fixed, but hangers and carcasses pass through the seal line continuously. A rigid seal would be destroyed in days. The M90 uses a brush seal backed by a flexible blade: the brush bristles part around each hanger and close behind it, while the blade maintains contact with the rail itself. Together they hold the thermal line while the product keeps moving — and both are replaceable wear parts, because a seal that cannot be replaced is a seal that will be neglected.
The rest of the leaf is a conventional high-performance chiller door: 90 mm PIR insulation for the +12 to -5 C band, heated perimeter gasket for the seal line, and stainless cladding over washdown-rated sliding gear. The cut-out is engineered into the leaf's insulation continuity so the slot does not become a cold bridge through the 90 mm core.

Typical applications
Abattoirs and meat processing plants
Sealed doorways on the rail lines that carry carcasses between halls.
Carcass chilling rooms
Product enters the chiller on the rail without the doorway standing open.
Poultry processing halls
Washdown-rated construction matches the hosedown regime of poultry plants.
Meat distribution cold stores
Wide openings keep rail curves and switches inside the sealed envelope.
FAQs
What rail profiles can the cut-out be built for?
Any — the cut-out is engineered to the plant's actual rail section and height. Send the rail profile drawings (or the rail supplier's section) and Egis builds the slot, brush and blade seals to fit it.
Do the brush and blade seals wear out?
Yes — they are wear parts by design, wiping the rail and hangers on every pass. They are replaceable on site without specialist tools, and Egis recommends keeping a spare set: a seal that is easy to replace is a seal that gets replaced.
What temperature range does the door cover?
From +12 C down to -5 C — the chiller band that covers carcass chilling, processing halls and distribution cold stores.
Can the door be automated?
Yes. The M90 is available in manual or automatic sliding formats; the automatic version uses presence detection so the door cycles for rail traffic without operator input.
How is the door cleaned in a washdown regime?
The stainless cladding and washdown-rated sliding gear tolerate daily hosedown at normal cleaning pressures. The brush and blade seals lift out for cleaning or replacement.
What sizes are available?
Clear openings up to 3000 mm wide and 3000 mm high — sized for rail curves, switches and wide carcass lines.
