If you’re looking for opportunities to reduce costs in your foodservice operation, take a closer look at air curtains. Aside from helping maintain sanitation and food safety standards – think airborn contaminants and flying insects – air curtains help maintain steady internal temperatures, both in buildings and in walk-ins. All of which translates to reduced energy usage.

Application Options for Foodservice Environments

	CUSTOMER ENTRANCE Air curtain protection for your front doors. Air curtains are well known for protecting kitchen back & receiving doors from insect infiltration, but what many do not know, is they provide the same insect protection on restaurant front doors, but more importantly, keep air conditioned (or heated air in winter) inside the building, greatly reducing energy costs.
	RECEIVING DOOR Maintain air quality and temperatures with Mars Air Curtains over your receiving doors. Air curtains are the least expensive, most reliable way of keeping insects, or fumes or other airborne contaminants out of a restaurant kitchen or other food prep environment. Whether employees leave the receiving doors open, or deliveries require it to be open for easy access, the Mars Air Curtain is always protecting your food, and your customer's safety.
	FREEZER/COOLER Air curtains over freezer/cooler entrances help save energy and maintain temperature. Want to reduce the burden on your Walk-in Cooler or Freezer, and keep it running for years? Then install a Mars Air Curtain over the cooler door and keep that cool air inside where it belongs. Strip curtains are ineffective, as staff often move them out of the way, and are very unhygienic. An air curtain offers protection, keeping conditioned air in, and still allowing free flow of traffic.
	DRIVE-THRU A Mars Air Curtain installed over the drive-thru window offers protection every single time the window is open, helping keep energy costs down, and your kitchen area free of contaminants. An open drive through is great for any restaurant's business, but the conditioned air going out the window, and the insects and gasoline fumes coming in are bad for employees, customers and the owner's bottom line. A Mars Air Curtain installed over the drive-thru window offers protection every single time the window is open, helping keep energy costs down, and your kitchen area free of contaminants.

Fast ROI

Depending on seasonal temperatures in your area, Mars Air Systems typically have a payback of 9-12 months, which is among the fastest ROI on kitchen equipment.

New Legislation Requires Air Curtains

The City of New York will soon join other legislative bodies who require air curtains. Reminiscent of California’s legislation, nearly two decades old, that requires an air curtain at the receiving door, New Yorkers will be able to dependably keep flying insects out with the power of properly directed and calibrated air flow.
