Storage at Controlled Atmosphere
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:
L ong-term storage of fruit
S
torage of vegetables (cabbage) and bulbs
C
ontrolling insects in cocoa, rice, tobacco, archives and
conservation in museums
F
ire 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.
Prominent in CA doors world-wide
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.
The why and wherefore of Salco CA doors
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 100 millimetre 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.

CA door KHG-0810 (horizontal)
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.
Pumping up the gastight sealing system
CA door KHG-0810V (vertical)
The vertical design is pre-eminently suitable in situations where there is little
side-space, or where goods are conveyed over the entire width of the room. By
manufacturing doors that are as wide as the room, goods can be driven in and
out of the room quickly and efficiently, and the room space is utilized optimally.
As the doors are often applied in a damp environment, the vertical rail system
and the bridging beam are powder coated in RAL 9016 (white). In addition to
manual controls, the door can also be provided with electrical controls.

CA hinged door KDG-1010
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.

CA windows
With fruit storage, it is important that the content in the
low-oxygen refrigeration rooms is visible, or that it is
­possible to take samples of the fruit. For this purpose,
Salco supplies gastight windows that can be installed both
in the door and in the walls of the refrigeration cell. For
installation in the ceiling, Salco supplies special gastight
control windows with single-layered safety glass that have a
handle with a cylinder lock on the outside.
The windowed escape hatch has a padlock construction
on the outside and an emergency unlocking device on the
inside. Both types of windows are supplied with a counter
frame for installation in a maximum of 100 millimetres or
200 millimetres.
