Product Savings - Say No to Unnecessary Waste
Econofrost night covers generate more than just energy savings; they are a merchandising component that reduces product spoilage, lowering the impact on the environment, decreasing labour trim time, and most of all saving money. Because at the end of the day isn't that what it is really all about?
Cutting Department Shrink & Discard RatesIn using Econofrost night covers, grocery retailers have extended the shelf life of perishable items by stabilizing the temperature of the case and product on stored in open refrigerated cases. For the majority of Econofrost customers, the reduction in product shrinkage has been significant and their cost savings considerable. |

"Econofrost covers are GREAT! I've worked produce for 15 years and know my trade.
Product loss was down 60% after the covers were installed!"
Dana Tompkins - Produce Manager
Improved Refrigeration & Product TemperaturesFor older display equipment, Econofrost is beneficial in improving the efficiency and stabilizing temperature fluctuations which would otherwise prove quite costly. Although they are used at night, the benefits of Econofrost night covers extend into the next day - cooler case and product temperatures can last up to 15 hours after Econofrost night covers are used during night time hours! |

Supermarkets or stores in areas that experience interruptions in power also benefit from using night covers. Should the electricity go out during inclement weather or a "brown out", simply pull down Econofrost night covers and they will help maintain the temperature inside the cooler case. This is an added comfort for retailers who experience power outages and would like additional support until longer-term measures are implemented or power is restored. |
The flip side is having to throw out valuable inventory that is no longer deemed safe and losing the revenue that could have otherwise been generated.
Once again, Econofrost night covers uphold the product's temperature, resulting in less food going bad and having to be thrown out. For the store owner this means the opportunity to complete a sale and make more profit is not lost.
Save Product, Sell Product, Earn More Money...
There are thousands of satisfied retail stores currently saving money and energy with Econofrost. However, the value of Econofrost can be profitable for any business, even those that serve supermarket refrigeration cases and for those that manufacturer refrigeration cases (OEM's).
For many manufacturers Econofrost is the standard rather than the option. Refrigeration service contractors also have the opportunity to benefit from the value of Econofrost as many stores have older refrigeration units that can easily be retrofitted with Econofrost night covers for both energy and product savings.
Econofrost - Your Preferred Night Cover Product!
Econofrost night covers are woven aluminum shades that keep the cool air in commercial refrigerated display cases during hours that the business is closed. By blocking the warm air from infiltrating the display case the night covers also create a thermal barrier that helps keep the cool air circulating in the case. This effective thermal barrier in turn, reduces the amount of work the refrigeration unit has to do to maintain the cool temperature. Thus, it decreases the amount of energy the refrigeration system consumes by not having to work as hard to maintain the temperature. Overall, this reduces the amount of money that a business spends on electricity (saving hundreds even thousands of dollars a month).
Econofrost's durability also generates more savings for retailers as they were specifically engineered for food retail applications and the intent is for the covers to be a one-time purchase. In addition, to saving energy, Econofrost night covers yield greater dollar savings in product extension and through the lifetime performance and serviceability of the units themselves.
Furthermore, Econofrost night covers also extend the performance and efficiency of the refrigeration system and its components, so retailers are awarded with more cost-effective refrigeration equipment.
Econofrost night covers roll up into an aluminum cassette cover very easily which compliments the store decor. A customer looking for night covers may see them; however, when they are seen their use and objective are immediately understood. The perforations of the aluminum weaving allow any condensation to evaporate which ensures mold or mildew does not form making them easy to keep clean and allowing for added food safety.
Many businesses whether it is grocery stores, convenience stores, delis, meat shops or bakeries, employ open refrigerated cases for the convenience of the customer and for greater display appeal. The drawback for this merchandising method used to be the amount of money that was being discarded in the form of rotten food from food spoilage, commonly referred to as "shrinkage". This is no longer the case for those stores who have installed Econofrost night covers.
