Quick Overview

Tempro® Cold Stop curtains, patented by SMI, provide a revolutionary alternative to previously used plastic strip curtains.

Cold Stop® Insulated Curtains

"Energy Savings 33%+" 

Cold Stop® curtains, originated and designed by SMI, provide a revolutionary alternative to plastic strip curtains used in many Coldrooms.

The curtains are a cost efficient thermal barrier based on Tempro® which gives the curtains unique insulation properties far greater than standard types,

and resultant energy reductions.

Floor ice and its associated hazards are reduced.

Cold Stop® curtains are available in standard widths of 300mm and bespoke heights with deep, clear windows. They are quickly and easily installed.

Cold Stop® curtains are energy efficient and pro-vide reduced wear on evaporator equipment allowing optimum settings to quickly achieve an internal working temperature.

Although proved with sensitive thermal imaging equipment it is hard to believe the outside temperature of Cold Stop® curtains in a freezer can register at 10°C and the inside surface recorded at –21°C.

Detailed Product Information

•   Customer experience and SMI’s validated research indicates energy savings of 18-25% in chillers and 30-35% in freezers.
• Cold Stop curtains are based on Tempro® which gives insulation properties far greater than plastic strips, resulting in energy reductions. Floor ice, and its associated "hazards", is minimised.
• Cold Stop allows evaporators to run at optimum settings to achieve and maintain internal working temperatures quickly with reduced energy consumption.
• Provides minimum energy savings of 25% in chillers to 33% plus in freezers.
• Maximum return on investment in a minimum time period.
• Soft and user friendly and cannot be removed easily by staff.
• Low maintenance; easily cleaned, hygienic and easy to repair or replace should damage occur.
• Curtains are light, flexible, fit well and do not split thus avoiding the expense of frequent costly replacement.
• Field trails indicate the life of the curatin is 5 to 6 times longer than PVC strip designs, providing substantial capital savings.
• Unique ‘cold lock’ system ensures that curtains fit neatly and effectively to the floor and ceiling , saving costly energy.
• Unique patented header arrangement is a design and efficiency breakthrough.
