Why Choose the HE Air Curtain for Your Facility?

Control Temperature with Precision

In food processing facilities, maintaining stable temperatures is vital to protect stock and ensure high product quality. Temperature fluctuations, especially at doorways, can lead to spoilage or compromised goods. The HE Air Curtain provides an invisible air barrier, preventing the exchange of internal and external air and maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the facility.

  • Energy Savings: Reduces the strain on HVAC systems by limiting conditioned air loss.
  • Improved Climate Control: Keeps your facility at the desired temperature, ensuring compliance with food safety standards.

Slash Energy Costs.

High energy costs are a major concern for food processing and abattoir facilities. With energy prices continuing to rise, operational efficiency is more critical than ever.

The HE Air Curtain is designed to lower energy consumption by retaining internal temperatures and reducing the workload on HVAC systems. This leads to:

  • Lower Operational Costs: Reduces energy bills while maintaining high performance.
  • Quick ROI: With potential annual savings of up to £5,590, the HE Air Curtain offers an estimated return on investment in just two years.

Safeguard Your Stock Against Waste.

Frequent door openings and temperature fluctuations can lead to wasted stock, directly impacting profitability.

The HE Air Curtain preserves the integrity of temperature-sensitive goods by maintaining a stable internal climate, preventing spoilage and waste. This ensures:

  • Reduced Stock Loss: Minimise product degradation caused by inconsistent temperatures.
  • Enhanced Profitability: Protect your investment in inventory with reliable temperature control.

A Sustainable Alternative.

For businesses seeking to reduce their environmental footprint, the HE Air Curtain offers a greener solution compared to traditional methods like strip curtains or sliding doors.

  • Reduced Energy Use: By minimising the workload on HVAC systems, the HE Air Curtain cuts energy consumption and carbon emissions.
  • Eliminates Wasteful Practices: Unlike PVC strip curtains, the HE Air Curtain does not require regular replacement, reducing plastic waste.
  • Supports Sustainability Goals: Demonstrates a commitment to eco-friendly practices without compromising on operational efficiency.

Built for Harsh Environments.

Hygiene and cleanliness are paramount in food processing and abattoir facilities, where rigorous cleaning standards are a daily requirement.

The HE Air Curtain is built to withstand even the toughest cleaning protocols:

  • Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Designed for long-lasting use in demanding environments.
  • IP-66 Rated: Withstands chemical cleaning and washdowns without compromising performance.
  • Hygienic Operation: Prevents airborne contaminants from entering the facility, ensuring a clean working environment.

The Numbers Speak for Themselves.

We offer the option of implementing sophisticated monitoring tools that track temperature and door usage. This information proves its effectiveness in improving energy efficiency and operational productivity, empowering you with the knowledge to refine your climate control strategies.

For the 7 days between 17th September and 24th September the Air Curtain was turned on and the room used 2846kwh.

For the 7 days between 1st October and 8th October the Air Curtain was turned off. The room used 3346kwh starting on 6187kwh and ending on 9533kwh.

For the 7 days between 8th October and 15th October the Air Curtain was turned back on. The room used 2955kwh starting on 9533 and ending on 12488.

Looking at the data and using the cost for electricity of 21.5ppkwh we can make some calculations to generate an estimated ROI.

Difference between power usage between week with Air Curtain on and off at worst case scenario = 3346 (kwh) – 2955 (kwh) = 391 (kwh)
391kwh * 21.5 (ppkwh) = 8406.5p
8406.5p/100 = £84.06
£84* 52(weeks) = £4,371.38 p/a saving.

If we use the best case data and following the same calcs we see:
£5,590 p/a saving.

Given the data above we can estimate a Return on Investment of circa 2 years
The temperature in the room when the Air Curtain is on appears to be between 1-2 degrees lower at it’s max and appears to cool down quicker.
