Overhead Door Brand, a leading name in residential garage doors and commercial doors, has launched an Air Curtain option for its 991 RapidFlex commercial doors, a solution tailored for cooler applications within the Food and Beverage industry. The Air Curtain addition underscores Overhead Door Brand's commitment to providing versatile, high-quality products that meet the specific needs of its customers, particularly in sectors where hygiene and environmental control are paramount.

“Outdated or inadequate sealing doors can be really straining on cooling systems, shortening their lifespan and driving up costs. Our 991 RapidFlex doors, now with the Air Curtain option, can minimize the cool air that slips out every time the doors open and close. This addition is all about creating a more efficient and controlled environment for our customers in the Food and Beverage industry who need to keep their products perfectly and safely chilled,” said Brett Beavers, a product manager at Overhead Door Brand. 

The Air Curtain for 991 RapidFlex door is designed to significantly enhance the operational efficiency and cleanliness of facilities, playing a crucial role in preventing contaminants from infiltrating the opening while also effectively drying condensation that may form on the curtain during operation cycles. Understanding the diverse needs of the Food and Beverage market, Overhead Door Brand offers a wide variety of Air Curtain options, including non-heated, heated, washdown and stainless options, ensuring that every customer finds the perfect fit for their unique requirements.

“The great thing about the Air Curtain is its flexibility. We know that the needs of a facility can shift over time, whether it’s because of how it’s being used or just the change in seasons. That’s why Overhead Door Brand constructed these doors so that an Air Curtain can be easily added down the line if needed,” Beavers said. “This foresight ensures that businesses can tweak their operations smoothly without having to go through major overhauls or buying replacement doors.”

In addition to the Air Curtain, the 991 RapidFlex door comes with an array of features designed to complement the demanding environments of the Food and Beverage industry:
