Hybrid cold room solution for Verdonk Broccoli

Verdonk Broccoli upgraded their cold chain with a smart two-door solution. A cold room sliding door on the exterior ensures insulation, while a high-speed door with air curtain on the inside maintains airflow control. Together, these doors reduce energy loss and streamline the broccoli handling process.

They choose for smarter climate control

Verdonk grows and processes over 3 million kilograms of broccoli annually. The Dutch family business values efficiency and product quality. In close collaboration with cell builder Javeko, they selected a hybrid door configuration that fits the pace of their operations.

 

"On the advice of Javeko, we chose this energy-efficient combination of two doors."

– René Verdonk

Smart solution for high-traffic cold rooms

During peak periods, crates of broccoli move in and out frequently. At other times, the room must be perfectly sealed. This hybrid setup combines an automated cold room door on the outside with a DynamicRoll AIR high-speed door on the inside. The result is minimal energy loss and maximum control.

Cold room sliding door: solid and efficient

The cold room door on the outer wall is fully insulated and electrically controlled. Radar sensors ensure hands-free opening and closing. During inactive hours, the room remains perfectly sealed.

Advantages:

  • Thermal bridge-free for excellent insulation

  • Motion sensor or remote control

  • Horizontal sliding reduces collision damage

  • Reliable performance under daily use

DynamicRoll AIR: speed and air curtain in one

The DynamicRoll AIR opens at 2.5 m/s and includes an integrated air curtain on both vertical sides. Every time the door opens, a full-height air barrier blocks cold-air loss, prevents warm air from entering and repels insects. Ideal for high-frequency logistic use.

  • Full-height air curtain integrated in both columns

  • Prevents temperature and pressure fluctuations

  • Self-repairing curtain after impact

  • Safe, low-maintenance, includes vision panels

 

The high-speed door is equipped with viewing windows for extra safety.

Lower energy costs, better broccoli preservation

Thanks to this hybrid door setup, Verdonk saves energy and the team works faster. During busy periods, the high-speed door keeps the workflow running smoothly. Outside working hours, the cold store door provides an airtight seal. This ensures that the broccoli is stored optimally and no energy is lost. A solution that pays for itself.
