Independent Testing Campden Report

The Campden Food and Drink Research Association is an internationally recognised non-profit making organisation which offers scientific and technical expertise in all aspects of the industry.

Campden was commissioned to undertake a performance evaluation of the Coolstrip Curtain System. The object of the trials was to investigate and quantify the effectiveness of using Coolstrip on a commercially available chiller unit meeting temperature requirements in current legislation and in reducing energy costs.

By setting the chill cabinet temp at 3°C, thermocouples placed inside a pack of salami over 16 hours recorded an average of 3.1°C being well within the 1993 requirements. Furthermore, power consumption dropped from 465 watts to 200 watts giving a saving of 60%.

Campden Report Concludes:
Coolstrip PVC curtains improve the performance of the chiller considerably and represents considerable energy savings which have a marked cost benefit in operating the unit over a period.
