Are you looking for ways to cut costs to ensure your business stays competitive?
You are not alone, warehousing, distribution and manufacturing businesses around the world are doing the same – as the market becomes more and more competitive, cutting costs to remain competitive is a strategy being employed by many businesses.
Remaining competitive means productivity needs to increase and by increasing productivity, in your warehouse, it has an impact in areas of the building that could potentially end up costing you more money. Look around, is there something that is open more than it used to be? Your warehouse doors will be left open for long periods and used more frequently as your products are taken in and out of your warehouse for loading – more productivity means more shipping which means more products being loaded and more staff coming and going from your warehouse.
Internal temperatures can drop by 4 – 10°C as doors to your warehouse are opened, this will have a big impact on your bills, so how do you keep productivity up and costs down, especially as the opening and closing of doors is unpreventable in a warehouse?
The air curtain is the answer! These genius curtains will seal large entrances with an invisible barrier of air, preventing cold air from entering while the doorway is open and in use. This helps maintain a comfortable temperature within your warehouse, it will also increase safety and efficiency, and reduce unwanted fuel costs.
The air curtain will effectively separate internal and external environments so that when doorways are left open for very long periods it will have little effect on the heating systems consumption, meaning as we have mentioned above, maintaining a comfortable temperature within your warehouse which will have a positive impact on your warehouse staff. No one enjoys working in an environment where it is too hot or too cold and with the doors consistently being left open throughout the year your staff will feel the effects and you will see a decrease in productivity.
There will, of course, be a slight drop in temperature as it would be impossible to keep an environment at the same temperature with doors left open, tests using a correctly sized air flow curtain show that there is only a 1°C drop compared to the 4 – 10°C that you would feel without it and your energy loss, using an overhead air curtain within your warehouse, could be reduced by up to 80%.
