Night Covers for Supermarket Refrigeration Merchandisers

Proven Energy Savings

Save over 36% Energy for Refrigerated Grocery Display Coolers

Uncovered display coolers can waste a lot of energy. Econofrost thermal night covers protect display coolers from incurring unnecessary energy losses. Reduce heating and air conditioning costs overnight, just by pulling down Econofrost night curtains while the store is closed.

Econofrost retractable thermal shields help extend the shelf life of perishable foods to bring direct savings by allowing your refrigerated display cases to operate more efficiently.

Look only for genuine Econofrost night covers made from a strong attractive patented fabric that saves energy overnight and and is easily rolled up out of the way while the store is open.

The 99.9% pure woven aluminum is bonded with PVC for strength, and a transparent film is applied over the aluminum to prevent oxidation. The back is coated with a fire-retardant and the fabric is precision perforated for breathability and to prevent accumulation of condensation.

Designed to last the full life of your display cases Econofrost requires less maintenance, is less demanding on employee time, and ensures better food safety.

A variety of models for horizontal and vertical refrigerated cases can meet your needs as a retrofit or can be ordered installed in new coolers. Contact Econofrost for genuine reflective night covers.

See Econofrost performance reports		Energy saving benefits of Econofrost thermal covers have been demonstrated in numerous independent lab tests. ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air conditioning Engineers, and other organizations, have conducted scientific lab trials.

Ensuring food safety and integrity is always good business and brings customers back. An open display merchandiser usually has wide fluctuations of temperature within the case, and food items sitting in the front and top are subject to warming above food safe levels. Extend shelf life for all perishable foods.

Econofrost shows that the best way to protect the valuable contents of open refrigerated produce, meat, dairy and deli display cabinets while a store is closed is to efficiently reflect heat and light emissions outward and trap cold air inside the case with an efficient thermal shield, while allowing condensation to evaporate and preventing the formation of mildew.

Econofrost provides an overnight solution with daytime impact

Food retailers can now significantly reduce commercial refrigeration energy costs by rolling down Econofrost reflective night shields while the store is closed and stabilize cooler temperatures overnight or during any power interruption.

The benefits of keeping refrigerated foods contained in display cabinets stabilized at ideal temperatures overnight can last up to 15 hours after the night covers have been rolled up in the morning. Where Econofrost woven aluminum night covers are installed, tests have shown energy savings to be as high as 37% to 50% during the hours of use and waste from daily produce trim reduced by up to 75%.

What makes Econofrost night blinds superior to others on the market?

Since Econofrost retractable night curtains were designed by engineers to meet the highest quality specifications for usage, efficiency and durability, how do they stack up against others on the market? One secret lies in the unique fabric engineered to create more than an efficient thermal barrier--a blind that is unobtrusive during the day, easy to install, and easy to operate.

The woven aluminum fabric is flexible and coated with a thin clear film. Made from food safe materials, the Econofrost fabric has tiny perforations to retard the accumulation of humidity that causes mildew and cultivates germs. Econofrost thermal shields are easy to clean so staff can ensure superior hygiene for your supermarket food displays.

Your Store Can Cut Down on Supermarket Trim

A recent study conducted at a major US supermarket chain store showed that ECONOFROST Reflective Night Covers reduced supermarket waste by 75%. The test demonstrated how reducing the amount of produce trimmed from food displays brought the store their return on investment in just over four months.

The produce department manager reported an “average decline in trim from one barrel a day to one quarter barrel a day,” eliminating produce losses of $50 to $65 per day and reducing labor needed to maintain produce displays. Researchers reported that the store saved more than $8000 over a five month test period in the typical large supermarket setting.

With effective Econofrost thermal blinds to protect your refrigerated display cases overnight, you can reduce the costs of labor needed for daily trimming, rotating and maintaining the best fresh appearance of fresh merchandise.

Econofrost reflective night covers are thermal blinds that reflect unwanted heat and UV radiation outward and away from refrigerated display cabinets. The reflective woven aluminum barrier protects chilled foods from the warm air in the store and helps contain the chilled air inside the coolers to save energy and sustain longer product shelf life.

Power outages can cause havoc in supermarkets with unprotected refrigerated cabinets, day or night. Econofrost thermal covers can help maintain cold product temperatures for hours at a time and reduce the chance of irretrievable damage.

Econofrost thermal shields provide a simple hygienic barrier against energy loss that is designed to last for the life of the refrigerated display case. Econofrost night covers repel dust and prevent the buildup of moisture inside refrigerated food display cabinets. The aluminum woven fabric is polyvinyl coated, making the blinds easy to clean and maintain.

The cost of ownership is low, and the return on your investment is fast, usually within 90 days. You can help protect your profit margin with Econofrost thermal blinds. Tests have consistently shown that during the hours Econofrost night covers are pulled down over open store coolers, direct refrigeration costs are reduced by at least 36%. When the thermal blinds are raised, the stabilized temperatures keep the contents of the coolers cooler for up to 15 hours.

Why install Econofrost in your refrigerated display cabinets?

You can save energy costs and reduce refrigeration and air conditioning costs to improve the return on your investment in expensive refrigeration systems. Econofrost night curtains typically pay for themselves within months of installation and retain their efficiency for the life of the refrigerated display cabinets to help protect your valuable refrigerated foods.

Rolling Econofrost night covers down when stores close at night stabilizes cold air in the case and keeps hot air out, allowing products to stay colder and last longer. Product temperatures stay lower for up to 15 hours after the night covers have been rolled up. How do they work?

1. Econofrost night covers maintain optimal night time temperatures and humidity levels inside open refrigeration display cases, prolonging the shelf life of food displays and allowing refrigeration equipment to operate more efficiently.

2. Econofrost woven nightcovers can reduce condensation and reduce store losses from drying and wilting in produce showcases.

3. Although the cold air in supermarket island freezers falls to the bottom of the case and is protected by air curtains, Econofrost night covers increase the freezer's efficiency by reflecting forced hot air away from the top sections of refrigerated cabinets.

4. Econofrost night shields are cost effective.

Power Outage Protection for Supermarket Refrigerated Display Cases

When refrigeration equipment stops operating due to power outages or equipment failure, product temperatures rise and humidity levels drop in supermarket display cases. Fruits and vegetables become dehydrated and wilted, bacteria grow exponentially on all perishable foods including deli meats, and dairy products oxidize, leading to premature spoilage and loss. Lowering Econofrost during power failures protects perishables by maintaining low, stable temperatures within the refrigerated display case.

Refrigeration Night Covers Save Energy & Prolong Shelf Life

Econofrost thermal blinds save energy by helping refrigeration compressors operate more efficiently. Econofrost thermal curtains assist refrigeration equipment to maintain product temperatures below 41°F in accordance with NSF #7, thus prolonging product shelf life. Econofrost's patented braking system allows the thermal shield fabric to roll up easily and safely. When the night curtains have been rolled up to give customers free access to refrigerated merchandise, product temperatures remain low for up to 15 hours.

Econofrost is an Efficient Temperature Barrier for Refrigerated Showcases

Made from woven aluminum, Econofrost is engineered to work better and last longer than any other refrigeration night shield. Econofrost night covers for refrigerated display cases reflect 70% of the ambient heat that enters open display cases and prevent cold air spillage from the merchandiser when supermarkets are closed. Because the effects of this temperature barrier last for up to 15 hours after the night covers have been put away, grocery store aisles stay warm, and refrigerated products stay cold. As a result, supermarket heating and refrigeration systems work more efficiently.
