35 years worldwide experience.
At the beginning of the 1980’s, the ULO/CA-storage of fruit commenced and the demand for gastight doors arose. For this, Salco developed a gastight refrigeration door with the unique, patented inflatable sealing system.
ULO stands for Ultra Low Oxygen and CA stands for Controlled Atmosphere. With this storage method, an atmosphere with low oxygen content (sometimes lower than 1%), an increased CO2 content, and a temperature and air humidity that depends on the product is created in a gastight refrigeration room. Through this, the ripening is slowed down, as a result of which the storage life is extended. Among other things, Controlled Atmosphere is applied to:
Long-term storage of fruit
Storage of vegetables (cabbage) and bulbs
Controlling insects in cocoa, rice, tobacco, archives and conservation in museums
Fire prevention
Our doors are in various designs also used for the sealing of biogas tunnels. Storage and/or treatment takes place in gastight spaces. The door constitutes a critical component in relation to this.
In 35 years, Salco has developed into a well-known name in various industries at home and abroad, in which the fruit industry is our most important export market. We work together with a network of distributors throughout the world. Specialised businesses that know the local market and dispose of an own organisation with sales, installation and service.
Salco's gastight doors are provided with a unique inflatable seal that guarantees 100% gastightness. This seal consists of two parts an inflatable, continuous inner tube and a protective, flexible sealing rubber on the outside that presses against the floor and the door frame by pumping up the tube. In this manner, a first-rate seal is created that is unequalled all over the world.
Owing to its air pressure and flexibility, the sealing rubber follows any possible irregularities in the floor and the wall. Even changes in the floor as a result of driving in and out are intercepted well. Extra security and still 100% sealed after years of operation.
The seal is not created by squeezing the door shut by great force (as a result of which wear and leakage will soon develop), but by means of steady air pressure in the sealing system. In this manner, point concentrated loads are avoided and the gastightness is ensured for a long time. No vaseline or sealant is necessary for gastight sealing, not even after years of use. Because of this, the room can be opened and sealed gastight in seconds and everything stays clean.
For checking, the air pressure of the seal is readable on the integrated pressure gauge. The 4” thick door is lightweight owing to the use of high quality, seamless polyester, and available in several colours. The door frame and framing are completely free of thermal bridges and executed in anodized aluminum. The doors are available in a horizontal and a vertical design, and as a hinged door.
The horizontal design is provided with an anodized aluminum drop/lift-rail system with an integrated finishing cover. In addition to manual controls, the door can also be provided with electrical controls.

Salco supplies gastight doors as a construction kit especially for export. The construction kit is made completely to measure, with or without polyester panels for the door leaf.
Advantages:
Favourable prices
Lower import duties
Uncomplicated transport
Lower transport costs owing to reduced volume
Possibility to apply a local 4” sandwich panel
Assembly against local labour costs
Large dimensions possible
Obviously, the construction kits will be provided with detailed installation drawings, assembly and construction manuals.
Specially developed for small, narrow CA refrigeration cells from which small batches are taken regularly. By using a hinged door the room width is completely accessible. The door is lightweight, can be opened and closed quickly and it is provided with a drop/lift hinge. Due to this, by pulling up the handle the door is pushed upwards several millimeters so that wear of the bottom rubber is avoided. The ideal solution for gastight storage refrigeration rooms for berries, cherries and other small fruit.
In addition to manual controls, the doors can also be provided with electrical controls. This provides considerable energy saving and increased efciency. At the same time, the doors can be provided with pull switches or remote controls with manual or fork-lift truck transmitters so that the fork-lift trucks can be on their way swiftly.
In compliance with the CE standard
Soft start/soft stop (frequency adjusted)
Simple to read out
Opening speed horizontal max. 3 ft/sec (single leaf), max. 6 ft/sec (double
door), vertical max. 8 in/sec up to extremely fast
Potential-free contact(s) for, for instance, open/closed position, switching
on/off of the lighting or refrigeration plant
Also available with automatic closure, half open position, radar etc.
