01 — For energy teams
Cut refrigeration load at the shelf edge
Aerofoil reduces refrigeration load by reshaping the air curtain on open refrigerated cases, keeping more cold air inside the cabinet and reducing compressor work—up to 25% case energy reduction.
It is a lower-cost, lower-disruption alternative to full case-door retrofits, targeting cold-air spill exactly where the energy is lost.

03 — How it works
Formula 1 aerodynamics on the shelf edge
Borrowed from motorsport aerodynamics, Aerofoil blades reshape the air curtain across each shelf so cold air stays inside the case instead of spilling into the aisle.
The result is steadier case temperatures, less compressor work, and a noticeably more comfortable aisle for shoppers.
04 — Benefits
