Thermoscreens Launches SLCS Air Curtian

Thermoscreens, a trusted name in best-in-class HVAC solutions, are launching their latest addition to the Cold Chain product range: the Slimline Cold Store Air Curtain. Designed specifically for environments where headspace is limited, this compact yet powerful unit is set to provide efficient climate separation in compact cold storage facilities.

The new launch showcases Thermoscreens’ continued commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer-led design. In an industry where reliable temperature control directly impacts energy efficiency, operational costs, and product quality, the Slimline Cold Store Air Curtain provides an effective solution for operators looking to improve cold store performance in rooms where space is at a premium.

The importance of climate separation in cold storage

Whether preserving fresh produce, maintaining frozen goods, or storing medicines, cold storage facilities rely on stable and consistent conditions. Fluctuation in temperature can cause significant issues, from product spoilage to excessive energy use and even regulatory non-compliance.

One of the key challenges lies at the doorway. Every time a door is opened in a chilled or frozen environment, warm air from outside floods in. This can lead to increased energy loss as cooling systems work harder to restore target temperatures. As well as ice and frost build-up causing health & safety risks, compromised product quality, and unnecessary maintenance costs.

Introducing the Slimline Cold Store Air Curtain

The Thermoscreens Slimline Cold Store Air Curtain has been engineered with the unique needs of the cold chain sector in mind. Offering the same reliable performance as the larger CS Air Curtain model but in a more compact form.

The SLCS Air Curtain works like the rest of Thermoscreens Cold Chain range, by creating an invisible yet highly effective air barrier to protect the cold store environment.

Key features include:

• Compact design: specifically tailored for installations where headspace is at a premium.
• Air barrier: prevents infiltration of warm, humid air while keeping cold air inside.
• Operational efficiency: significantly reduces energy loss, helping facilities cut costs and improve sustainability.
• Enhanced safety: minimises ice and frost build-up around doorways.
• Temperature range: proven performance in stores operating at temperatures as low as -25°C.

The official launch!

To officially launch the Slimline Cold Store Air Curtain, Thermoscreens will be showcasing the new unit at Cold Chain Live, a leading industry event taking place in Telford. The unveiling will be carried out in collaboration with Blue Cube, specialists in technology-led, sustainable, and energy efficient portable cold store and blast freezer solutions.

Blue Cube are Platinum members of the event organisers, Cold Chain Federation, and will be exhibiting a modified cold storage unit at the show. Therefore, as part of the event, the Slimline CS Air Curtain will be displayed within Blue Cube’s cold store unit. This live action demonstration will allow visitors to walk through the unit and see firsthand how Thermoscreens’ air curtains perform compared to outdated alternatives such as PVC strip curtains.

A sustainable step forward for cold chain operations

The Slimline CS Air Curtain contributes directly to sustainability goals by reducing refrigeration load, supporting carbon reduction and replacing outdated plastic strip curtains.

For operators looking to lower running costs, boost sustainability, and improve safety at sites where there’s limited headspace above the cold room door, the Slimline CS Air Curtain is the smart choice for any cold store facility.
