Cooler and Freezer Strip Doors

walk-in-cooler-strip-door

OVERVIEW

Preventing the loss of cold air from your cooler or freezer and reduces your energy bill while keeping your food or beverages cold. Using a walk-in cooler curtain or a walk-in freezer door curtain will eliminate this expensive air loss. The freezer door flaps hold the cold air in and prevent warm air from entering. The doors also meet the Energy and Security Act of 2007 which requires strip doors on all new walk-in coolers and freezers.

Mounting Options

  • Stud Mount - Mounts to the underside or face of the freezer or cooler and is ideal for wide openings. To replace worn-out strips simply remove lock nuts from the studs.
  • Tube Mount - For up to 6' wide openings and mounts to the face or underside of the freezer or cooler. To replace worn-out strips simply remove one end bracket and then you can slide off the strips and easily replace them.
Walk-in-cooler-curtains

USDA, NSF, CFIA Grade PVC

  • The PVC is extremely clear allowing for a clear line of sight.
  • NSF and USDA approved freezer door strips.
  • The plastic stays flexible even at low temperatures.
  • Freezer curtain strips maintain sanitation inside and out.

Common Uses

  • Walk-In Freezers
  • Walk-In Coolers
  • Personnel Openings
  • Supermarkets
  • Restaurants
  • Bakeries
  • Food processing plants

Update

The USDA passed the onus of compound compliance/approval to be under FDA provisions, specifically Title 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). Since the USDA does not approve equipment or materials, we have material that meets CFR 21, which ensures that the compounds used are FDA certified raw materials. The AKON curtains are Title 21 CFR compliant and carry a UFL-94 Fire Cert.

Quick Installation

plastic-freezer-curtains_opt

Both styles of mounting hardware are very quick to install. Only basic tools are required to attach the hardware to the freezer or cooler. The studded hardware hangs the strips on studs with lock nuts. The tube mount style only requires a few screws on the right side and the left side of the opening.

Save Energy

plastic-cooler-curtains_opt

Free flowing air in a controlled temperature zone is the number one cost for most food processing facilities and retail outlets. The freezer flap doors eliminate this unnecessary expensive and are one the of the quickest to install solutions. With an excellent ROI and ability to fit almost any opening these clear food grade strips are found in almost all facilities with coolers and freezers.

Low Temp PVC Strips

freezer-door-strips_opt

The unique composition of the low temp strips stays flexible to -20° F and the standard strips stay flexible to 0° F. The PVC material is nonporous making for an extremely slick surface. This is ideal as it helps prevent bacteria buildup. Standard grade PVC comes in 6” and 8” widths. Low-temperature PVC comes in 6” and 8“ widths.

Hardware Material Measuring Choosing Strips
Hardware

Static Mount

  • Header Mount
  • Wall Mount
  • Universal Mount

Rolling Hardware

  • Allow the strips to roll out of the way
  • Ideal for complete access when strips are not needed
  • Note the strips roll like a barn door and do not fold up

Stand Off Hardware

  • Commonly used for roll up drums near dock doors
  • Hardware is extendable outwards to accommodate door drum

Tube Mount

  • Fits up to 2" diameter pipe
  • Each pipe clamp is 4” wide and holds 2 strips (overlapped)

Hole Spacing

The pvc strip curtains come with holes punched every 2" (see example of 8" wide strip below). This allows the strips to fit the vast majority of strip curtain hardware on the market. Please note that you can also purchase the strips without any mounting holes. Some customers choose to use their own hardware and punch their own mounting holes onsite. Loop style is also available for mounting to bars and tubes. If you want just strips then please see this page.

Measuring

Step 1 – Width x Height

  • Measure the width and the height of the door opening or
    area where you want to install the strips.

Step 2 – Choose Your Hardware

  • Decide on the type of mounting that best fits your application
    • Wall mount is preferred on doorways. This gets the hardware out
      of the doorway and allows the strips to overlap the door jambs for
      maximum seal and air lock.
    • AKON will add 6" more in total height and add about 6" total in width
    • For in-jamb use header mount, simply order the exact size you need
      to span the opening.
    • Universal mount can also be used when you are not sure.

Testimonials

"AKON had the quality that was lacking with our previous industrial curtain supplier. We run a fortune 500 company that relies on zero downtime. The AKON industrial curtain system just lasts longer and is made of better materials. I informed purchasing that if its not from AKON, then we don't want it!" - Fred Dixon 

"The AKON wash bay curtains look great! No one was as helpful or as knowledgeable as your staff and that was a big deciding factor for us. When the wash bay curtains arrived the installation was flawless. We now have a wash bay curtain that we can be proud of and that will last for many years." - Jackie McGarb

"THE BEST!!! Hands Down!!. The curtains have stronger grommets and the vinyl is the best quality that we have seen. The service is also top notch and we have answers to our questions instantly. You can tell this is a well run company and they have taken care of all the projects that we have thrown at them." - Mike Richards
