Industrial Doors for Cranswick Country Foods

The Brief

Cranswick Country Foods appointed Tekta to supply and install the complete specialist door package for its new prepared poultry facility in Hull. Valued at £460,000, Tekta’s package formed part of Cranswick’s £31 million new-build development, designed to increase production capacity and create a modern, high-performance food manufacturing environment.

Tekta delivered a comprehensive range of specialist door systems, including 12 Rapidor Impact high-speed doors, nine Thermidor Freeze sliding doors, 10 Pyrodor Rollashield fire shutters and 84 stainless steel personnel doors. Each system was selected to meet the specific operational requirements of different areas throughout the facility, providing a coordinated solution for production, storage, access and service areas.

The Rapidor Impact high-speed doors provide fast and reliable access between frequently used areas, helping maintain efficient production flow and separation between controlled environments. Thermidor Freeze sliding doors were installed within temperature-controlled areas to help maintain stable internal conditions and minimise energy loss.

Fire protection was supported by the installation of Pyrodor Rollashield fire shutters at key locations, providing dependable fire separation as part of the facility’s wider safety strategy. The stainless steel personnel doors provide robust, hygienic and easy-to-maintain access throughout the building, making them particularly suited to the demanding cleaning regimes associated with food production.

By combining high-speed, temperature-controlled, fire-rated and personnel door systems within one coordinated package, Tekta delivered a durable and reliable solution supporting hygiene, temperature control, fire protection and efficient production flow throughout Cranswick’s new state-of-the-art facility.

Tekta managed the supply and installation of the complete specialist door package, working closely with the wider project team to ensure each stage was delivered safely, efficiently and in line with the construction programme. With multiple door types required across different operational areas, careful planning and coordination ensured each system was installed at the appropriate stage and integrated seamlessly with surrounding works.

The Rapidor Impact high-speed doors provided fast, reliable operation within frequently accessed production areas, supporting efficient movement while helping maintain separation between controlled environments. Thermidor Freeze sliding doors delivered a robust, thermally efficient solution for temperature-sensitive areas, helping minimise energy loss, while Pyrodor Rollashield fire shutters provided effective fire separation at key locations throughout the facility. Stainless steel personnel doors completed the package, providing durable, hygienic and easy-to-maintain access suited to the stringent requirements of food production.

By combining these specialist systems within a single coordinated package, Tekta delivered a comprehensive solution tailored to the operational demands of Cranswick’s new poultry processing facility. The completed installation supports efficient production flow, temperature control, hygiene and fire protection while providing the durability and long-term reliability required within a high-performance food manufacturing environment.
