What is the KHF refrigerating pivoting door, what is it for and how to install it

The refrigerating pivoting doors are characterized by having a rotating shaft that allows them a wider and more flexible opening than the conventional one. Unlike normal doors, they are not tied to the wall in the side frames. We can highlight that they are silent, stable, innovative and very safe doors.

¿How do they work?

In the refrigerating pivoting doors, the traditional hinges are replaced by bolts in the upper and lower end that are hidden from view and fits to the frame of the door. This allows them to open inbound and outward, or even both at the same time. The door can be opened at about 130º in both directions.

 

Among the advantages of pivoting doors are their fine and modern aesthetics, the large size capacity they have and that, despite this, they are very quiet and discreet doors while they are heavy and thick, giving them great strength and resistance.

The pivoting doors have a high degree of insulation and energy efficiency in conditions of intensive use.

Pivoting doors’ installation is quick and simple, since it is supplied pre-installed, which allows significant cost savings.

 

Kaviflex’s pivoting doors for refrigerating chambers are suitable for industries and businesses that need to combine optimal temperature control with an intensive flow of people or goods. Specially designed for their installation in any type of trade shop, industrial sector, catering, hospitality industry, supermarkets, food industry (meat, fishery, horticulture, dairy products and logistics); Horeca channel (hotels, restaurants and coffee shops; laboratories or clinics).

They are designed for its use in cold rooms from 0 °C and -40°C (32°F and -104°F), which require doors of large dimensions, versatile and lightweight.

KHF refrigerating pivoting doors’ insulation is made with rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam core, which is a variant of polyurethane foam (PUR), differing mainly due to its better behavior against fire. It has a wide range of high performance coating to ensure great durability (using mechanical coatings (PET), along with hinges made in black composite with metric fixings and lift ramp, high quality materials so that it has the reliability and robustness required for its use.

 

The measures of Kaviflex’ refrigerating pivoting doors are, at most, 1,5 meters by 3 meters (4 feet 11,05 inches by 9 feet 10,11 inches) and the manufacture of them lasts for two weeks

How to install a KHF refrigerating pivoting door?

For its installation we will need the following tools: screwdriver, jigsaw, level, polyurethane foam, clamping jaw, measuring tape, kaviflex’ screws (wall’s counterframe and window casing)

 

Frame’s Installation:

We mark the measurements of the door’s width and height in the panel

 

  • We count 3 cm more of the light on each side (We cut the panel tailored for the Kaviflex’s refrigerator frame.
  • We place the frame in its position
  • We check the measurement
    • Option 1: Before installing the counterframe, we proceed to inject polyurethane foam
    • Option 2: After installing the counterframe, we proceed to inject polyurethane foam
  • We place the counterframe in position
  • We hold with the clamping jaw
  • Drill and screw the frame
  • We proceed the same with laterals
  • We place the covers and trims in their position
