Cold Storage

Reliable Environmental Separation for Temperature-Controlled Facilities

Berner works directly with architects, engineers, contractors, and facility operators to recommend the right air curtain configuration for your space — at no charge.

Common Cold Storage Challenges

Every open cold storage door lets warm air in, raising refrigeration costs and risking product quality. Berner air curtains create a powerful barrier that blocks temperature and moisture transfer — while letting people, forklifts, and product move freely.

Common Issues

Frost and ice accumulation around openings
Condensation on floors and surrounding surfaces
Increased refrigeration system workload
Temperature fluctuations that can impact product quality
Reduced visibility caused by fogging or moisture
Safety concerns from slippery floors
Higher energy consumption and operating costs

Benefits of an Air Curtain

Improve Temperature Control
Air curtains help reduce the exchange of warm and cold air when doors are open, supporting more consistent temperatures throughout the facility and helping protect temperature-sensitive products.
Reduce Frost and Condensation
By limiting moisture infiltration, air curtains can help reduce frost buildup around freezer openings and minimize condensation that contributes to slippery floors and maintenance concerns.

Properly selected air curtains help reduce air infiltration at the doorway, creating a more controlled environment while allowing operations to move efficiently.

Lower Refrigeration Demand

Reducing air infiltration means refrigeration systems spend less time compensating for temperature loss, helping improve overall energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Maintain Operational Efficiency

Unlike strip curtains or physical barriers, air curtains allow unrestricted movement of forklifts, pallet jacks, carts, and personnel, helping facilities maintain productivity without compromising environmental separation.

Improve Workplace Safety

Reducing ice formation, floor moisture, and visibility issues can help create a safer environment for employees working in and around cold storage openings.

Cold Storage Applications

Berner air curtains protect single openings or entire temperature-controlled facilities, improving energy efficiency and product protection in demanding cold storage environments.
