In industrial and commercial environments, managing temperature consistency, energy efficiency, and moisture control is crucial. Countries like South Africa and Namibia face added challenges such as rising energy costs, frequent load-shedding, and extreme climate conditions — all of which place heavy strain on refrigeration and cold storage systems. Additionally, in cold storage and controlled environments, doorways are one of the primary sources of energy loss, moisture buildup, and temperature instability.
DryJET-THERMAL®, developed by Specialised Climate Engineering (SCE), is an advanced thermal barrier system engineered to reduce air transfer by up to 95%, significantly cutting refrigeration loads and improving climate control performance. From freezer doors to chiller entrances and dispatch areas, DryJET-THERMAL® offers a safe and efficient solution that maintains climate stability, minimises condensation and keeps workflows uninterrupted — all without the need for high-speed doors or strip curtains.
What is DryJET-THERMAL®?
DryJET-THERMAL® is a high-performance, self-contained thermal barrier system that prevents unwanted air exchange and energy loss through open doorways in temperature-sensitive environments. It creates an invisible horizontal air stream across doorways, maintaining a thermal seal while allowing people and equipment to move freely. Unlike traditional methods that obstruct traffic flow, DryJET-THERMAL® provides continuous protection without physical barriers.
Ideal applications include:
- Freezer facilities
- Cold chain logistics operations
- Food processing environments and storage
- Pharmaceutical storage and manufacturing
