Foodservice Has a Door Problem — Air Curtains Were Built for It

Leave a comment

Foodservice has a door problem that air curtains were built for.

Back-of-house entries stay open for a reason. Product comes in. Garbage goes out. Crews need to move. You can’t solve that with a door closer or a screen — and the health code doesn’t care that the door has to be open.

The Compliance Problem

Air curtains are often the only specification that lets a kitchen operate normally while meeting the pest exclusion requirement that inspectors need to see. A properly sized Mars Air unit holds the barrier — and your operation keeps moving.

Why Sizing Matters

The catch is sizing and installation. An undersized or improperly mounted unit creates a compliance problem on top of an energy problem. Mounting height, opening width, and air velocity all matter — and getting those parameters right at spec time is what separates a unit that works from one that generates callbacks.

We Can Help Size It Correctly

We work with foodservice operators, contractors, and mechanical engineers across our eight-state territory to get Mars Air curtains properly specified. If you’re working on a foodservice project with exterior door compliance issues, the time to think through the air curtain spec is before the building is roughed in.

Open Loading Dock Doors Are Costing Your Facility More Than You Think

Leave a comment

Warm weather is here. So are open loading dock doors, insects, and conditioned air walking straight outside.

Every hour a loading dock door stays open, your facility is paying for it in energy costs, pest infiltration, and temperature control problems in adjacent spaces. And asking your operations team to keep the doors closed isn’t a realistic solution when product movement depends on those openings staying accessible.

The Air Curtain Solution

Air curtains from Mars Air Systems solve this without asking your team to change behavior. A properly specified Mars unit creates an invisible barrier at the door opening — blocking air transfer and pests while allowing forklifts and foot traffic to move freely. The ROI case is straightforward and the installation is clean.

Where We Specify Mars Air Curtains

We specify Mars air curtains for loading docks, coolers, food production areas, and high-traffic commercial entries across our eight-state territory. The applications are consistent, the sizing parameters matter, and getting the spec right the first time is what separates a system that works from one that creates callbacks.

Is an Air Curtain Right for Your Next Spec?

If you’re designing or managing a facility with high-traffic doors, we should talk about whether an air curtain belongs in your next specification. Contact us at info@jjmorgan.com or reach out to your JJM representative.
