R•O•M’s DuroMatic Strip Door combines the temperature control benefits of PVC strip doors with the driver-friendly benefits of a curtain that opens and automatically closes once the driver and load are out of the unit. By keeping warm, moist air out of the refrigerated compartment, high-run defrost cycles are greatly reduced. In addition, the easy open and self-closing feature eliminates the need for drivers to cut or tie back the strips during product off-loading thus defeating the purpose of having a temperature control strip door in the first place.

Operation of the DuroMatic Strip Door is easy. The system may be installed on side and rear access doors up to 48 inches wide and is fully self-contained, so no lubrication, electrical or pneumatic power is required. After the ramp is deployed and the hand truck loaded, the driver simply pulls a handle to open the curtain and, with easy visibility to ensure safe passage down the ramp, off-loads the product. The DuroMatic strips automatically retract, maintaining cool temperatures and keeping warm, moist air out of the unit. That saves energy, protects the environment and improves driver productivity.

“With all of our products for the food distribution industry, our goal is to reduce costs for our customers, increase driver safety and improve productivity,” says Dan Caffrey, R•O•M National Accounts Manager. “That’s why we’re excited to add DuroMatic Strip Doors to our product line. It’s a driver-friendly way for customers to improve their bottom line.”

The DuroMatic Strip Door is available new and retrofit. More information is available by visiting www.DuroMaticDoors.com or by calling 800-827-3692.
