As such, refrigeration display cases are specialized equipment that necessitates highly specialized components and accessories for optimum performance and efficiency.
Whether requested as a feature on new refrigerated showcase equipment or retrofitted to existing refrigeration displays, the addition of night covers to operating equipment is an economically-rewarding and environmentally-sound investment.
As it stands, many grocery cold case displays are often insufficiently covered during closing hours - wasting valuable energy resources and straining operational equipment even more. All food retail stores and their refrigerated merchandise displays benefit from installing Econofrost refrigeration blinds.
Another way to guarantee the freshness and saleability of refrigerated goods is to install night curtains on all open refrigerated displays. This covers were engineered to create a thermal barrier that reflects the store's ambient heat and light away from the case while retaining the cold circulating air inside the display case.
The best night covers material for energy savings and maximum product integrity is woven aluminum (Econofrost night covers incorporate perforated woven aluminum fabric into their models).
Typically display case blinds are easily installed and can be retrofitted to existing equipment.
Pulled down at night to contain the refrigerated air currents within the cases, this covers reflect the ambient light and heat sources beyond them. In the morning, prior to the store opening, the night covers are simply rolled up during store hours, allowing shoppers unrestricted access to the merchandise.
Nightshades conserve valuable energy resources while reducing the workload of overtaxed refrigeration operating equipment. The effect of the thermal barrier supported by a premium quality of this cover can last up to 15 hours once the curtains have been rolled away for greater stability of case and product temperatures and optimum display equipment performance.
