Save up to 30% on diesel with the innovative BlueSeal Air Curtain

Efficiency and sustainability are playing an increasingly important role in refrigerated transport. With the new BlueSeal Air Curtain from Amsterdam-based Brightec, hauliers can not only improve their loading process but also achieve significant savings on fuel costs.

Consistent temperature is critical in refrigerated transport

In temperature-controlled transport, keeping products at a stable temperature throughout the journey is essential. Any disruption, particularly during loading and unloading, can compromise product quality. This risk is especially pronounced when there's a large gap between indoor and outdoor temperatures, making fluctuations more likely.

Strip curtains vs. air curtains: a major difference in ease of use

Plastic strip curtains have traditionally been used to limit temperature loss. However, they're far from ideal: they get dirty quickly, stay damp, and often get in the driver's way. On top of that, they increase the risk of unhygienic conditions and slow down the workflow.

BlueSeal: an innovative air curtain with immediate benefits

Brightec developed the BlueSeal Air Curtain to address exactly these issues. This innovative system creates an invisible air seal during loading and unloading. It's easy to install, and comfortable and hygienic to use.

The biggest advantage? Fuel savings of up to 30%, since the cooling unit doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the set temperature.

Sustainable, efficient, and driver-friendly

Beyond the cost savings, the air curtain also makes life easier for drivers. No more awkward strip curtains, just a clear, unobstructed passage that maintains both temperature and hygiene. The system fits perfectly with the growing demand for sustainable solutions in transport and logistics.

Frequently asked questions

This is a short summary of the film — watch the video above for the full story.

Can the BlueSeal Air Curtain draw air from both the inside and the outside?
Yes. By default the air curtain draws air from the inside, but the same type of air curtain can be reversed so it draws air from the outside. Its effectiveness and efficiency stay the same.
Why is a homogeneous, laminar airflow important for the air curtain?
For an air curtain to work well, the air coming out must have the same speed and direction everywhere (homogeneous and laminar). Fans normally produce a turbulent airflow; inside the BlueSeal Air Curtain, vanes behind the fans and the honeycomb turn the turbulent air into a homogeneous, laminar flow.
How much diesel can you save with the BlueSeal Air Curtain?
Customers measured for a full year, both with and without the air curtain. The results show that up to 30% can be saved on the diesel needed for the cooling.
How does the air curtain compare to plastic strip curtains?
Customers also compared the air curtain with a vehicle using plastic strip curtains. The results show that the air curtain is 10% more energy-efficient than plastic strips.
