Featured Food Manufacturer Project
Client: Cranswick Country Foods
Project Value: £460,000
Project Location: Hull, Yorkshire
Project Brief:
Cranswick Country Foods required a complete industrial door package for its new prepared poultry facility in Hull as part of a £31 million development designed to expand production capacity and create a state-of-the-art food manufacturing facility.
Tekta was appointed to deliver an industrial door package, providing a coordinated range of specialist door systems to support hygiene, temperature control, fire protection and efficient production flow throughout the facility.
Solution:
Tekta completed the supply and installation of:
- 12 Rapidor Impact high-speed doors
- 9 Thermidor Freeze sliding doors
- 10 Pyrodor Rollashield fire shutters
- 84 Traffidor Pass steel personnel doors
Tekta managed the complete door package in close coordination with the wider project team, helping ensure each stage of the installation was delivered safely, efficiently and in line with the construction programme. Together, the high-speed, freezer, fire shutter and personnel door systems formed a fully integrated solution suited to the hygiene, environmental, fire-safety and operational demands of the new food processing facility.
FAQs About Industrial Doors & Loading Bays for Food & Beverage Facilities
What types of industrial doors are best suited to hygiene and food safety requirements of food & beverage manufacturing sites?
Food & beverage facilities typically require doors that are easy to clean, moisture-resistant and durable enough for frequent use. Stainless steel and insulated door systems can be used across production, washdown, processing and cold-storage areas to support hygiene and food safety requirements.
For high-traffic hygienic environments, the Rapidor Inox high-speed door combines fast operation with stainless steel components and a self-repairing curtain for demanding food production applications.
What thermal performance is required for doors in food manufacturing facilities?
The required thermal performance depends on the temperature difference between areas, how frequently the opening is used and the level of environmental separation required.
Insulated and high-speed doors can help reduce heat transfer and unwanted air movement between ambient, chilled and frozen areas. Tekta provides solutions including the Rapidor Chill for temperature-controlled environments and Rapidor Freeze for freezer applications.
Which industrial door solution offers the lowest whole-life cost?
The lowest whole-life cost is not necessarily achieved by selecting the door with the lowest initial purchase price. Energy performance, reliability, maintenance requirements, repairability, downtime and expected service life should all be considered.
Selecting a door suited to the frequency of use and operating environment can help reduce maintenance requirements, minimise disruption and improve long-term asset performance. TEKTA also provides industrial door maintenance and servicing to support doors throughout their operational life.
Can Tekta help specify industrial doors for a food & beverage project?
Yes. Tekta provides specification support for manufacturers, architects, consultants, contractors and end users, including technical guidance and documentation for industrial door and loading bay systems.
Project teams can also use Modus, Tekta’s industrial door specification portal, to support product selection, specification and coordinated door schedules.
Can Tekta supply industrial doors without installation?
Yes. Tekta can provide industrial doors and loading bay systems on a supply-only basis where required. Tekta also provides assisted installation or full installation services.
Can existing industrial doors in food production facilities be repaired or replaced?
Yes. Existing doorways can be inspected to establish their condition, safety, compliance and ongoing serviceability. Tekta offers repair, component replacement or complete door replacement based on asset condition and parts availability.
