Strip Curtains or Air Curtains can be a key component to increase
energy efficiency. Even perfectly operating units can be energy hogs
when accessed many times throughout the day in a hot kitchen. Strip
Curtains such as the M-Series by Curtron Products shown is simple
to install and has a huge impact on energy efficiency and ensuring the
temperature inside the walk-in doesn’t isn’t affected by the door opening
and closing.

Alarms that monitor walk-in temperatures can save tens of thousands of dollars in lost product by
notifying you of an issue. A full walk-in cooler or freezer will maintain temperature for a significant
amount of time (so long as the door remains closed) enabling a repair to happen before any product
is lost. But if you discover the equipment failure too late, all is lost.

An Air Curtain, also known as an
air door, is a machine that blows a
controlled stream of air across an
opening to the other side to create
an air seal. This seal separates
different environments while allowing
a smooth, uninterrupted flow of traffic
and
unobstructed
vision
through
the opening. Because they help to
contain the cold air inside the walk-
in box, they provide sizable energy
savings and increased food safety
from temperature fluctuations and
contaminants.
