When warm, humid air encounters cooler air, it often results in the formation of fog and ice.
This phenomenon is particularly common with doors that connect rooms maintained at different temperatures. The sudden cooling of warm air as it moves into the colder space causes moisture to condense, producing fog. Beyond obstructing visibility, this can create safety risks like slippery surfaces due to ice accumulation.
In the food sector, optimal hygiene is vital to ensure the safety and quality of products. Manufacturing companies implement strict cleaning procedures and access measures to prevent contamination. This includes using high-quality equipment that is easy to clean and resistant to corrosion and bacterial growth.
Powerstream, with its stainless steel design, fits perfectly into this pursuit of optimal quality. There are numerous benefits to using stainless steel in Powerstream equipment. Stainless steel is easy to clean and resistant to corrosion and chemicals, making it ideal for use in environments where hygiene is essential. In addition, the durability of stainless steel minimizes the risk of contamination and extends the life of the equipment, resulting in less maintenance and lower operating costs.
By integrating Powerstream equipment into production processes, companies can maintain their hygiene standards while improving the efficiency and quality of their products.
Unknown makes unloved ! Air doors and air dryers are still relatively unknown. Also in the food industry, where Masterveil’s air doors and air dryers offer great advantages. For example, to prevent condensation, to increase (food) safety, to prevent damage to buildings and equipment and to guarantee a quick passage for employees, equipment and products.

Last week it was extremely pleasant to look back at one of our pioneering projects that was realized ten years ago at Ysco.
The set-up was designed to create a perfectly conditioned space in the middle of a large freezer room, in collaboration with our partner MUNTERS BELGIUM.
As a result, Ysco’s employees are able to carry out repackaging of ice cream cones according to the specific requirements of large end customers.
A true milestone, given the challenge of achieving this while the freezer doors are in almost permanent use.
Despite the entry and exit of forklifts and the long opening times of freezer doors, the air-conditioned space remains at the correct temperature and humidity combination even just before the entrance to the freezer room.
This innovative approach has not only led to significant efficiencies, but also increased customer satisfaction.
In a recent collaboration, Munters, a leader in active drying, and Masterveil, specialized in invisible doors, have jointly provided an effective solution to their valued customer Quisquater. The focus of this joint effort was to create clear temperature separation and optimize the working environment, with impressive results.
Munters’ expertise in active drying played a crucial role in controlling humidity and maintaining optimal conditions in Quisquater’s working environment. By integrating this technology with Masterveil’s innovative invisible doors, an advanced system was created that not only precisely regulated temperatures, but also delivered significant energy savings.
Quisquater, with a focus on safety and efficiency, now has the benefit of a well-controlled, safe working environment. The seamless collaboration between Munters and Masterveil highlights the power of synergy in tackling complex industrial challenges. This success story illustrates how purposeful collaboration between leading companies can lead to tailor-made solutions that exceed customer expectations.

Throwback to the combi setup with Munters @BREUNA – GERMANY. Maximal protection of freezerdoors in combi with precise climateconditions.
Considering energy saving, optimal temperature zones (HACCP in all it’s perspectives) and logistic safety, we have given FULL priority to this fine project.
Imagine invisible doors for maximal keeping the temperature where it belongs, implementing our top range products :
Our special thanks also to the general contractor Klebl. We appreciated the partnership & flexibility.

Is this a kind of magic or another good example of the typical efficiency of Masterveil’s invisible doors; Thanks to a precise airstream to cover the total door of a shockfroster, the cold is staying there were it belongs.
Worker in the frontroom are finally receiving the comfort that they aimed for.
The measuring routine shows very clear what happens with a running system or what happens when you stop the Airstop. Avoiding energylosses towards the frontroom, considering the energyprices today , is an extra bonus in this job.

Masterveil supplies and installs, together with its Dutch partner ‘Prodoor’, air doors for catering wholesaler Hanos
Following the new construction in Hengelo, Zwolle and recently in Nieuwegein, we are now also working on the new construction in Maastricht.
Masterveil’s air doors are distinguished by customization and energy efficiency compared to traditional systems.
In addition to temperature and/or odor separation between ambient and cooled rooms, Prodoor, with its Masterveil Powerstream and Airlock setup, is ‘the guarantee’ against ice formation in your freezer cell in passageways with large temperature differences between two rooms of up to 50˚ Celsius.
Ice build-up in your freezer will cause evaporators and cooling pipes to freeze and which will eventually break. The financial consequential loss is then incalculable. Excessive humidity that settles on the floors will cause them to freeze, resulting in slippery floors that are dangerous for people, equipment and product. Masterveil’s Air doors are better for your night’s sleep, wallet and the environment. Knowing more?

In connection with ever-higher energy prices, it is clear that SMEs in the refrigeration/freezer sector are being held in a stranglehold. As an entrepreneur, you can do everything you can to save money, but the products must still be brought in or out through a door. It is precisely these opening times that are responsible for energy losses and, of course, the associated costs.
An OPEN & UNPROOFED DOOR costs MONEY, lots of money.
How can you get a grip on your costs and still be logistically active to the maximum?
Thanks to our proven technology of AIRSTOP & Powerstream solutions, we can fundamentally reduce your losses!
This has been tested by independent bodies (internationally), and we have spreadsheets available where we can quantify this.
Short random examples (based on previous current kwH prices 2021)
By shielding a 3x3mH gate, open for 4 hours a day, 2° versus 18°C, savings of 2500 to 3000 euros/year can easily be achieved.
By shielding a freezer door, under the same conditions, the savings amount to more than 12500 euros/year.
We get feedback from customers that with intensive logistics use, payback periods of less than a year are realistic.

What does Masterveil offer?
* We can come and give a short presentation at a next BVBVK members’ meeting and answer any questions in detail.
* We can visit you without obligation to measure intensively used doors and offer you a suitable proposal.
* Independent ROI calculations for both indoor and outdoor gates with weather related simulations

Our Masterveil department in Germany, together with partners Klebl , Munters and Aliga Doors , were involved from the outset in the engineering of the specific solution for the Rewe/Penny construction team. This included Powerstream AIRLOCK setup for shielding freezer doors. The active drying is used as an insulating air layor, an extra possibility within the Powerstream Patent. This gives an even higher resistance against humidity. By keeping the opening times ultra short, space is also created for the active drying to prepare the cold store for intensive use.
Our success formula: “protect & dry” at the docks was also applied.
The most memorable thing is of course the fine cooperation between the various parties.
Welcome to the world of invisible doors
