Chillventa 2026 recap: smoke vent premiere, redesigned S-line and electric FlexTrack
Salco looks back on a successful Chillventa, the leading trade fair for refrigeration technology in Nuremberg, Germany. With our biggest stand ever and all-new demo models, we showed visitors our proven cold storage and freezer doors and our latest innovations. We shared the stand with our partner Gaspack.
Redesigned S-line door
At Chillventa, we're introducing the redesigned version of our S-line hinged and sliding doors. This new version offers faster delivery times along with a number of other improvements.
A selection of Salco openers for cold storage and freezer doors:
Smoke vent: a Chillventa premiere
For the first time, we brought our S-line smoke vent to Chillventa. This smoke vent is specially designed for cold storage and freezer rooms with temperatures down to -30 °C. In the event of a fire, the vent opens fully within 17 seconds to quickly clear smoke. Optional edge heating prevents freezing, and a 100 mm thick door panel ensures optimal insulation.
Watch the video below and see how it works:
The smoke vent is certified to EN 12101-2:2003, EN 13501-1:2018 and EN 11925-2:2020, and is used in applications including fresh produce storage, frozen food logistics, distribution centres and pharmaceutical facilities. With fire safety regulations for conditioned spaces becoming increasingly strict, this smoke vent offers a proven solution.
Our misty demo model got a lot of attention!
FlexTrack: the hygienic tube rail system, now also available electrically
For hygienic spaces and other applications where cleanability is essential, Salco developed the FlexTrack: a unique track system with an extra sturdy construction that, thanks to its shape, is optimally cleanable. Because the track has the shape of a closed tube, no cover cap is needed. The system can be built up to 5 meters long, supporting a door of up to 250 kilograms.
Thanks to the stainless steel drop system, the track slopes slightly downward at the ends, pressing the door firmly against the frame and floor. This not only ensures optimal insulation but also prevents the door from coming off the track when in the closed position.
The FlexTrack has a modular construction, made up of separate tube sections that are joined together on site. This makes the tube track easy to transport. All components are made of high-quality corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
The FlexTrack is now also available with electric operation. Our demo model with a stainless steel door and motion sensor opening was a huge hit!
