Cabinet door offers greater efficiency
8th October 2024
GERMANY: Glass door manufacturer Schott has introduced Termofrost Inmotion, described as a new generation system offering reduced energy consumption enabled by smaller gaps and a new sealing concept.
The patent-pending hinge mechanism ensures that the doors close gently and automatically, with self-regulating closing force and door stops – and that the gaps between the doors on both the hinge and handle sides are significantly reduced.
The technology allows the use of better sealing solutions and wider glass doors, resulting in a clearer view of the stored goods.
Chiller cabinets equipped with the Termofrost Inmotion are said too consume 10% less electricity than conventional solutions with sealing lips and around 35% less than doors without sealing lips. In a comparative test with a four-door refrigerator, the Termofrost Inmotion consumed 10.26kWh per day, compared to the 11.3kWh of a typical door system with conventional sealing lips.
With three-axis adjustability, the hinge is also said to simplify installation and customisation while also providing greater safety preventing collisions.
The Termofrost Inmotion is on display for the first time at Chillventa this week.
