Employees now work in a warm, comfortable environment, but equally important are the energy savings.
Royal Wine’s food processing and distribution center responded to employee wintertime requests for a warmer shipping area, and received a bonus when the six dock door air curtains installed for air comfort also significantly reduced operational energy costs.
Sub-freezing days near open shipping doors previously required heavy clothing, hampered worker productivity and caused chilling drafts despite portable truck and dock seals, according to Abraham Wechter, plant engineer, Royal Wine Corp., Bayonne, N.J.
Royal Wine, the world’s leading kosher winemaker, imports and produces more than 60 brands of wine, manufactures the renowned Kedem fruit juice brand, and operates Herzog Wine Cellars with vineyards in Oxnard, California.
