Helping Abattoirs Control Temperatures and Condensation in Cold Storage.

In abattoirs, maintaining the integrity of meat products post-slaughter requires strict temperature control and minimal condensation in cold storage areas. These spaces are critical for ensuring meat is rapidly cooled and stored in a stable, hygienic environment before distribution. However, every time a cold storage door is opened, warm, humid air can enter, causing temperature fluctuations, increasing refrigeration load, and encouraging condensation.

At Thermoscreens, we understand these specific challenges:

🌡️ Preventing temperature fluctuations during post-slaughter cooling to maintain product safety and extend shelf life.

⚡ Reducing energy waste from chillers working overtime to stabilise temperatures.

⚠️ Combating condensation build-up that can compromise hygiene and Food Standards Agency (FSA) compliance.

The Solution: Thermoscreens HE (Harsh Environments) Air Curtain

Designed for harsh food processing environments, the Thermoscreens HE Air Curtain provides an invisible, high-velocity barrier of air across cold storage entrances, effectively separating temperature zones without impeding workflow.

Key benefits for abattoirs:

Maintains strict temperature control✅ – Prevents warm air from entering cold rooms when doors are open, keeping meat at required storage temperatures post-slaughter.

Reduces condensation✅ – Limiting humid air ingress helps prevent moisture forming on walls, ceilings, and floors and reduces hygiene risks.

Cuts energy costs✅ – Minimising heat transfer lowers refrigeration demand, helping to control operational costs.

Built for harsh environments✅ – Stainless steel body and IP66 rating ensure durability and reliability in washdown zones and challenging processing areas.

Don’t just take our word for it

Dovecote Abattoir installed a Thermoscreens HE Air Curtain at their site to trial the cold storage solution and saw significant condensation reduction. Dovecote said:

“The reduction in condensation, this is a big factor for us as the Food Standards Agency has very stringent rules on condensation in a food production area, so the separation of the hot and cold air does have other benefits as well.”
