In the food sector, optimal hygiene is vital to ensure the safety and quality of products. Manufacturing companies implement strict cleaning procedures and access measures to prevent contamination. This includes using high-quality equipment that is easy to clean and resistant to corrosion and bacterial growth.

Powerstream, with its stainless steel design, fits perfectly into this pursuit of optimal quality. There are numerous benefits to using stainless steel in Powerstream equipment. Stainless steel is easy to clean and resistant to corrosion and chemicals, making it ideal for use in environments where hygiene is essential. In addition, the durability of stainless steel minimizes the risk of contamination and extends the life of the equipment, resulting in less maintenance and lower operating costs.

By integrating Powerstream equipment into production processes, companies can maintain their hygiene standards while improving the efficiency and quality of their products.

Unknown makes unloved! Air curtains and air dryers are still relatively unknown. This is especially true in the food industry, where Masterveil’s air curtains and air dryers provide significant benefits. They help prevent condensation, enhance food safety, prevent damage to buildings and equipment, and ensure smooth passage for staff, equipment, and products.

Last week it was extremely pleasant to look back at one of our pioneering projects that was realized ten years ago at Ysco.

The set-up was designed to create a perfectly conditioned space in the middle of a large freezer room, in collaboration with our partner MUNTERS BELGIUM.

As a result, Ysco’s employees are able to carry out repackaging of ice cream cones according to the specific requirements of large end customers.

A true milestone, given the challenge of achieving this while the freezer doors are in almost permanent use.

Despite the entry and exit of forklifts and the long opening times of freezer doors, the air-conditioned space remains at the correct temperature and humidity combination even just before the entrance to the freezer room.

This innovative approach has not only led to significant efficiencies, but also increased customer satisfaction.

In a recent collaboration, Munters, a leader in active drying, and Masterveil, specialized in invisible doors, have jointly provided an effective solution to their valued customer Quisquater. The focus of this joint effort was to create clear temperature separation and optimize the working environment, with impressive results.

Munters’ expertise in active drying played a crucial role in controlling humidity and maintaining optimal conditions in Quisquater’s working environment. By integrating this technology with Masterveil’s innovative invisible doors, an advanced system was created that not only precisely regulated temperatures, but also delivered significant energy savings.

Quisquater, with a focus on safety and efficiency, now has the benefit of a well-controlled, safe working environment. The seamless collaboration between Munters and Masterveil highlights the power of synergy in tackling complex industrial challenges. This success story illustrates how purposeful collaboration between leading companies can lead to tailor-made solutions that exceed customer expectations.

The well-known blue discounter, a prominent supermarket chain, uses the combination of Powerstream(r) with active drying in their facilities, especially in the refrigerated distribution central & freezer cells.

This strategy is aimed at fundamentally reducing energy losses in the intensive use of their freezer doors on the one hand and optimizing the cooling capacity by applying active dehumidification capacity in their freezer cells on the other hand.

First of all, the dehumidification capacity plays a crucial role in their freezers. By combining Powerstream (r) with active drying, moisture is efficiently removed from the air, in combination with an ultimate degree of screening.

This prevents the formation of ice and condensation within the freezer, improving logistics safety, reducing maintenance & repairs and optimising the quality of the stored products.

This market leader is 100% committed to maintaining optimal environmental conditions, extending product shelf life  and preventing spoilage.

In addition, energy saving is an important aspect within their strategy. By applying active drying in combination with Powerstream(r), energy losses are minimised.

This patented Powerstream solution creates a barrier between the cold freezer and the warmer environment outside. This prevents cold air from escaping and warm air from entering, saving energy that would otherwise be consumed to keep the freezer at the right temperature. Active drying helps to maintain a drier environment, making the insulation of the freezer more effective and further reducing energy losses.

In short, we can conclude that Powerstream (r) with active drying is deployed to have a safe and smooth passage within their intensive logistic activity.

The combination of Powerstream (r) and active drying is going to improve the insulation of the freezer room,so to speak, by providing the passages with ‘invisible doors’.

With this strategy, this discounter demonstrates its commitment to maintaining optimal conditions and promoting sustainability in its business.

Energy savings and increased comfort reached at l’Ecopain d’Ignace with Masterveil’s air curtain technology. Our innovative solution creates a barrier, reducing heat transfer and preventing unwanted air infiltration, resulting in reduced energy consumption and cost savings. Experience efficiency without compromising on ease of use.

Throwback to the combi setup with Munters @BREUNA – GERMANY. Maximal protection of freezerdoors in combi with precise climateconditions.

Considering energy saving, optimal temperature zones (HACCP in all it’s perspectives) and logistic safety, we have given FULL priority to this fine project.

Imagine invisible doors for maximal keeping the temperature where it belongs, implementing our top range products:

1. Powerstream is considered as the most performant system with the lowest energy consumption in the market.
2. Airstop with it’s highest flexibility in customisation for the other temperature separations like inside & outside doors

Our special thanks also to the general contractor Klebl. We appreciated the partnership & flexibility.

In connection with ever-higher energy prices, it is clear that SMEs in the refrigeration/freezer sector are being held in a stranglehold. As an entrepreneur, you can do everything you can to save money, but the products must still be brought in or out through a door. It is precisely these opening times that are responsible for energy losses and, of course, the associated costs.

An OPEN & UNPROOFED DOOR costs MONEY, lots of money.

How can you get a grip on your costs and still be logistically active to the maximum?
Thanks to our proven technology of AIRSTOP & Powerstream solutions, we can fundamentally reduce your losses!
This has been tested by independent bodies (internationally), and we have spreadsheets available where we can quantify this.

Short random examples (based on previous current kwH prices 2021)

By shielding a 3x3mH gate, open for 4 hours a day, 2° versus 18°C, savings of 2500 to 3000 euros/year can easily be achieved.
By shielding a freezer door, under the same conditions, the savings amount to more than 12500 euros/year.
We get feedback from customers that with intensive logistics use, payback periods of less than a year are realistic.

• Colruyt/Spar & Okay (cool aisle, applied to all shops in Belgium)
• Lidl Group in Germany/Austria (cooling & refrigeration)
• Newcold International (recent projects in Rennes (F) and Piacenza (I))
• Larfrost (exterior gates and freezer rooms)
• Hottlet (outside gates and cold store)
