How would an air curtain benefit my food processing facility?

Harsh environments such as abattoirs and food processing facilities often have areas with differing temperatures that are used to store food products. Maintaining a stable temperature is a crucial factor in food processing facilities, it will ensure that the stock is kept at the desired temperature without compromising on its quality. However this may be difficult to achieve due to the temperature difference between the internal and external environments. By positioning an air curtain above the doorway, it will create an air barrier, preventing the exchange of air at the doorway. Not only will this reduce the temperature fluctuations but it will save energy by reducing the workload of the current HVAC system.

Is your facility suffering from high energy costs?

High energy costs are a frequent concern for abattoirs and food processing facilities. Energy is a significant cost that is heavily impacting these industries. The Thermoscreens HE Air Curtain is specifically designed for the tough conditions of harsh environments. It excellently retains indoor air quality and temperature, significantly reducing the workload on your HVAC system. This translates into lower energy bills and operational costs, proving its worth as a vital component of your facility’s efficiency strategy.

Don’t suffer from wasted stock

Temperature inconsistencies, especially when doors are frequently opened, can compromise stock quality due to the changing temperatures the stock is kept at. This may result in wasted stock and therefore wasted profits. The HE Air Curtain addresses this by maintaining a stable internal environment, crucial for preserving the integrity of temperature-sensitive goods. It significantly reduces waste and safeguards product quality by preventing temperature fluctuations in the room, making it a valuable asset.

Are your current methods of climate control failing?

Traditional methods are often ineffective at separating two environments. You may not even realise their ineffectiveness, but other traditional methods such as sliding doors or strip curtains do not provide effective climate solution. Both methods still allow the exchange of air at the doorway due to the door being in frequent use, this allows the conditioned internal air to escape. The HE Air Curtain offers an efficient solution for maintaining distinct climate zones, without the energy wastage associated with traditional climate control methods. Its design reduces the demand on your HVAC system, lowering operational costs and decreasing your environmental footprint, promoting sustainable practices in your facility.

Are you looking for ways become more sustainable?

More and more businesses are looking for ways to become more sustainable without compromising on profitability. The HE Air Curtain plays a pivotal role in enhancing sustainability within harsh operational environments. By optimising temperature control and reducing the need for constant HVAC operation, it saves energy and cuts down on carbon emissions. This efficient operation not only benefits your bottom line but also demonstrates a commitment to the environment.

Your facility’s hygiene is paramount

When working with food products, hygiene and cleanliness is paramount to ensure the food is not contaminated. In environments such as food processing and abattoirs, there is often rigorous chemical cleaning involved. Therefore it is essential that when installing an air curtain it can withstand the chemical cleaning that often arises in these environments. The HE Air Curtain features a high IP-66 rating and is made of durable stainless steel. It’s perfect for environments that require frequent chemical cleaning. With energy-saving fans that recirculate indoor air, it creates a strong barrier against pollutants, maintaining a clean and controlled environment crucial for your operations.
