Making CA rooms gas tight

Essential

Essential

Gas-tight cold stores are essential for successful Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage. We offer professional assistance in the design and creation of gas-tight cells, with the aim of maintaining quality and saving costs.

One of the main objectives of CA storage is to minimize the respiration and oxygen content of the products. This ensures that the quality remains optimal. A perfect gas tightness prevents leakage of outside air into the CA cell, which is essential for successful storage.

Gas tightness

Gas tightness

In order to guarantee a good gas-tightness, a few things are very important. Firstly, it is important to ensure a good floor and expansion joints in the right places, preferably under the partition walls. Secondly, choosing high-quality insulation panels is crucial, which ensures a good connection and prevents thermal bridges.

In addition, the accurate installation of the panels is of great importance. Use the correct profiles for finishing and screws. It's about details. Ensure a good connection and the application of double silicone seals on the inside and outside.

Fleecing

Fleecing

After mounting the panels, all corner joints and flat seams are made gas-tight. This also applies to all transits and the door opening.
Fleece means applying a primer, nooxide, on top of a fleece for firmness and this is sprayed or painted with a gas-tight elastic coating. The work must be carried out accurately.
Choosing a high quality gas-tight door and inspection windows is also important, as is professional installation.
