Consider air curtains in the loading bay
JS Air Curtains has a range of industrial air curtains ideal for use on loading bay doors. The units effectively seal an entrance and stop thermal transfer, even during loading operations.
This maintains correct internal temperatures, helps keep produce in good condition and improves staff comfort.
Air curtains are said to be an economical replacement for internal fast acting roller or shutter doors; they are cheaper to maintain and more convenient as forklift drivers don’t have to get out of their vehicles to open them. They are an effective replacement for plastic slat curtains, which quickly become dirty and lose their transparency.
By using an air curtain to separate two zones in a loading bay, 100% visibility is maintained at all times and hygiene improved as there is nothing that comes into contact with the goods passing through, other than air.
Another advantage of using an air curtain is that they reduce the ingress of foreign bodies into the building. This can be anything that is blown in or flies in such as insects, dust, litter and leaves or more unhygienic and damaging bodies like rats and mice. The constant wall of air blows away litter and is design to act as a deterrent to rodents that don’t seem to like the sensation it creates.
Depending on the size of the doorway, air curtains can be mounted horizontally on doorways up to around 9m high or vertically at both sides of a doorway up with 18m wide. Modern air curtains are very powerful and this flexibility enables them to be used on the majority of industrial doorways.
