Brakes Foodservice are a leading foodservice company that value sustainable transport at the heart of our daily operation. That’s why we are delighted to equip BlueSeal air curtains to keep refrigerated air inside our vehicles during loading and unloading. This helps to keep our produce fresh during deliveries, while reducing the carbon emissions from our vehicles by reducing the energy needed to keep the trailer at the right temperature.
BidFood NL has been using BlueSeal air curtains for more than 5 years. During our distribution runs with many drops, the BlueSeal is able to maintain the desired temperature in the cargo area.
Our drivers are very satisfied with the BlueSeal air curtains. The BlueSeal creates a virtual door through which the driver can load and unload without any physical hindrance.
We have been using BlueSeal air curtains for several years now in our 54 dual-temperature vehicles. These air curtains have revolutionised our temperature management in these vehicles and made our drivers’ daily work much easier.
When transitioning from “swing doors” to “sliding doors,” we faced a major challenge: maintaining the interior temperature during each load. Our drivers had to close the doors after each load to avoid significant cold loss, which complicated their daily tasks. We had stopped using PVC strip curtains a long time ago, as that solution was not suitable. Curious to test BlueSeal in real conditions, we installed it in a 44-ton truck, parked in full sun in July: even after 30 minutes with the doors open, the temperature remained at -4°C.
BlueSeal air curtains were the perfect solution to our problem. Since their installation, we’ve observed that the temperature in our refrigerated vehicles has been impeccably maintained. This has resulted in energy savings. Additionally, as the refrigeration units consume less energy, their lifespan is extended.
The main advantages of the BlueSeal air curtains are their excellent value for money, ease of use and installation, and exceptional performance in maintaining temperatures. We are completely satisfied with this innovative solution, which combines performance with practicality.
Being responsible for a fleet of 70 vehicles for a cold food distribution company for 12 years, I know BlueSeal air curtains well and have been working with Brightec since 2014. We are very satisfied with their products, we currently have around twenty carriers equipped with this air curtain. For our drivers who practice urban distribution, the use of an air curtain is undoubtedly the best solution compared to strip curtains. Classic strip curtains age poorly over time, do not last, end up torn and can also be dangerous for users in terms of visibility during loading and unloading operations. In addition, the use of a BlueSeal air curtain allows perfect temperature maintenance inside the refrigerated body when the doors are opened. We have much less temperature loss inside. Finally, the BlueSeal air curtain is very practical because it is triggered automatically when the doors open.
… we tested the BlueSeal air curtain against electric curtains [red. electric PVC slide curtains] and we found that the BlueSeal air curtain is as effective as the electric curtains in terms of maintaining the cold chain. The air curtain is much more convenient for the driver and less fragile and the cost of the investment is lower. Another great advantage of the BlueSeal curtain is that the cost of maintenance is zero compared to the high maintenance cost of the electric curtains (due to high wear). So, we decided to equip all of our new trucks with BlueSeal air curtains and to replace as the electric curtains which have become obsolete.
With the air curtain, the cargo area remains at the desired low temperature during and after multiple drops, and less humid air is also introduced. A temperature-sensitive product such as the avocado quickly discolours with temperature fluctuations. With an air curtain above the door opening, the products are better protected, so that the avocados, for example, discolour less quickly.
“At Rex we pride ourselves in offering our customers the best solutions on the market for temperature-controlled vehicles. The addition of BlueSeal air curtains to our range has been an excellent enhancement to our offering, ensuring the safe transport of temperature-sensitive goods without obstructing the driver’s operation during deliveries. Offering a reliable alternative to PVC curtains, BlueSeal has been particularly well received and we look forward to being able to introduce this technology to our future customers as an innovative method of cargo climate control. We were also impressed by the outstanding service by Tom and the team at BlueSeal who were a pleasure to deal with.”
The BlueSeal air curtain will provide an optimal climate barrier between cold indoor air and hot outdoor air. This will help fight effectively against energy loss caused by frequent door openings.
Brightec have developed a bespoke air curtain in close collaboration with leading French commercial bodybuilder Lamberet to feature on their Distri + vehicle range.
