Cost Effective Benefits of Econofrost Refrigerated Merchandiser Night Curtains

ECONOFROST thermal curtains or thermal night blinds provide a thermal barrier for open refrigerated cases which help maintain optimal temperatures within the display case for up to 15 hours.

ECONOFROST's thermal blind blocks heat and UV radiation, extending the shelf life of perishable products on display within commercial refrigeration cases.

Save electrical energy and promote the conservation of energy by retrofitting your open refrigerated display cases with ECONOFROST energy saving night covers.

Night covers (or thermal blinds or thermal curtains as they are commonly known) are an energy saving solution constructed for fresh food retailers and the food service industry.

Any grocery store, convenience store, cafeteria or food service business operating with open refrigerated equipment can substantially reduce the energy being consumed by the refrigerator system collectively saving energy, reducing electrical energy expenses and improving the overall quality and freshness of perishable food items.

Energy savings can be as high as 37 to 50%.

One of the many benefits of using ECONOFROST nightshades on refrigerated display cases is that it does not interfere with the normal operation of the supermarket.

ECONOFROST night curtains are designed to be used when the store is closed; during the day they simply remain hidden, rolled away contianed in a protective housing that integrates with the store decor.

Reduced energy costs make up part of the payback calculation. When ECONOFROST night curtains are covering all refrigeration display cases, compressors operate less frequently and require less maintenance.

The thermal barrier created by the refrigerator nightshades prevents cold air spillage into grocery store aisles, reducing the running time of the supermarket’s heating and air conditioning units. The effect of this thermal barrier lasts up to 15 hours after the thermal night covers have been rolled up into the refrigeration display case.

Where Can You Expect to See the Greatest Savings?

The most noticeable and quickest payback comes from the extension of product shelf life and the reduction in perishable goods damage and shrinkage. This payback results from protecting heat sensitive merchandise from exposure to heat and UV radiation during the supermarket’s closed hours.

Payback periods are derived from a combination of energy savings and the significant reduction in damage to organic and perishable goods, most notably within the produce department.

Long after your initial investment in ECONOFROST heat reflective night curtains is recovered, your profit will continue to increase.

ECONOFROST refrigeration night covers are a trouble-free economical investment for any supermarket, and will pay for themselves within 18 months, often as quickly as three months.
