Does the cold room really need curtains?

With the technology we have now, it is surprising that there is a debate about whether or not curtains should be used in the cold room and freezer room. Putting up Curtain For Cold Room and freezer room is a good idea. Still, many kitchens don't see how using air/plastic curtains can save money on energy costs, maintenance, and keeping the right temperature in both the cold and freezer rooms.


What do curtains do to help keep the cold room and freezer room cool?

Because of these changes, condensation and ice buildup happen, and energy is lost. Before you decide whether to use air curtains or plastic ones. Let's take a look at how curtains are used in general.

By making a barrier that stops hot and cold air from moving back and forth, less energy is needed to keep the fridge/freezer cold. This means that the air temperature stays the same, which makes the products stored in these units last longer. When condensation is lower, there is less water in the air, which makes it harder for bacteria to grow.

The change in temperature also leads to a buildup of ice, which is bad for health and safety. The ice makes the ground slippery, which is not safe. If you've ever slipped and fallen in a frozen freezer room, you know it's not a fun thing to do.

One more benefit is that you can leave the door open a little bit longer. Food safety is less affected by those forgotten open doors that are hard to control.

Physical curtains vs. the air curtain

Compared to real curtains, air curtains do have some clear advantages. The two most obvious are that air curtains let you see what's going on in the Curtain For Cold Room and the freezer room. And there isn't much chance of getting sick when moving between these units. You don't have to lift air curtains to get through, so there won't be any spills, drops, etc.

The physical Curtain For Cold Room gives these units a solid barrier, which is an added benefit. They are easier to set up and cost less to keep up. And if they are kept clean, the chances of them getting contaminated can be cut down.

How do either of these curtains work in real life?

There are obvious benefits to using Curtain For Cold Room, but we would be remiss if we didn't also talk about how hard it is to use them. So, even though we at Hygiene Food Safety recommend using Curtain For Cold Room, it's not easy to choose which ones to use.

Air curtains do need to be maintained, as does all equipment that runs on electricity.

These units also let dirt build up, which often leads to mould growth.

If the air pressure wasn't set up right, or if the wrong unit was put in place, it wouldn't work.

The air curtain isn't always good at keeping the heat in. Especially if the air doesn't reach the floor, which lets cold air leak out.

Staff in the kitchen often turn these off because they don't know what they're for.

Physical curtains do have the chance of getting dirty from spills, dust, and other things.
Because of this, there is a chance of cross-contamination.

Damage does happen to these curtains over time. And will need to be replaced if the kitchen is used often.
