Night Cover Applications for Open Refrigerated Display Cases
Grocery Store Produce Showcases
 In produce display cases, the refrigerated air is often ineffective
in cooling the entire surface area of the produce, leaving it vulnerable
to heat and UV radiation. Even with automatic sprayers to moisten
produce when the supermarket is closed, fresh produce spoilage is
a problem. Most supermarkets report significant shrinkage of produce
displayed at the front portion of their produce display cases, which
is beyond the reach of the refrigerated air and spray.
We asked produce managers to estimate the rate of their produce
loss due to wilting and drying caused by heat from the grocery store.
According to these estimates, the cost of lost produce is around
$1.00 per foot of display case per day.
The produce managers explained that it is not difficult to have
such a loss in produce departments. Produce is very sensitive and
it takes very little shrinkage and trimming to add up to this amount
of lost revenue.
Woven aluminum night covers reflect heat and UV radiation away
from produce display cases, creating optimum temperature and humidity
levels around all the produce held in the refrigerated display case.
With ECONOFROST refrigeration night covers, humidity and cold air
are maintained at optimum levels within the produce display case
and morning produce trimming is reduced drastically. Grocery stores
can eliminate unnecessary daily produce loss and the associated labor
involved by using ECONOFROST refrigeration case covers.

Refrigerated Meat Display Cases
When exposed to heat and UV radiation, meat products undergo photochemical
reactions that cause the surface of the meat
to change color. For example, meat cuts and sausages fade considerably
or turn
gray, thus losing their fresh, appetizing appearance.
Severe discoloration of meat products caused by oxidation can result
in deterioration of the meat, affecting its aroma and flavor. To
prevent color fading and prolong the shelf life of fresh meat products,
it is critical to maintain strict control over the temperature levels
in meat display cases.
With ECONOFROST night covers protecting your meat display cases,
your meat products will maintain their fresh look and unmarked appearance.
This reduces shrinkage and the need for rewraps, thus increasing
your profit.

Refrigerated Floral Merchandisers
Florist shops are no longer the only retailers of flowers. Increasingly,
flowers and bouquets are sold in grocery stores, supermarkets, and
shopping centers. Retailers can enhance their profits with superior
merchandising in their floral departments, which includes using open
floral display cases for easy access and maximum eye appeal.
Heat and UV radiation can cause flower buds to “blast” or
fall off, resulting in flower bouquets that look worn and unappealing.
ECONOFROST night covers protect your floral displays from heat and
radiation, and increase the shelf life of your flower arrangements.
ECONOFROST night curtains are ideal for floral display cases as
they offer open merchandising when the supermarket is open and prolonged
shelf life when the supermarket is closed.

Refrigerated Deli Cabinets
Cheese and lunch meats in self service deli cabinets can have extended
shelf life when they are kept at optimal temperatures. ECONOFROST night curtains reflect the heat from the grocery store, maintaining
ideal temperatures in open refrigeration cases.

Dairy Displays in Refrigeration Cases
Temperature control is essential to prolong the shelf life of dairy
products. ECONOFROST display
case covers reflect heat and radiation that can cause milk and cream
to spoil prematurely.

Beverage Merchandiser Coolers
ECONOFROST night curtains enhance the efficiency of compressors
in open refrigeration display cases by reflecting warm air and preserving
ideal temperatures within the case. Heat and UV radiation from retail
store lighting and heating systems are blocked by the woven aluminum
fabric of ECONOFROST night covers.
