EcoBlade

Wirth has applied its world-leading Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) capability to the supermarket sector, developing energy saving refrigeration technologies, including our patented shelf edge technology, the EcoBlade, which eliminates cold air spill from open display cases, saves energy, and reduces food waste.

We continue to push the boundaries of aerodynamics and thermodynamics to deliver innovative shelf edge technologies to the retail sector.

ECOBLADE BENEFITS

A warmer, greener shopping experience

The Wirth EcoBlade is the best in class shelf edge technology. It is a simple, retrofit device that delivers a significant reduction in supermarket energy consumption and improvement in staff and customer comfort.

MArket-leading performance

TWO BLADES ARE BETTER THAN ONE

Unlike other products in the market, the patented EcoBlade design uses two blades, giving complete control of the mixing layers on both sides of the air curtain, a key determinant of shelf edge technology effectiveness.

The position and orientation of these blades can be optimized using Wirth’s patented development process to give class leading performance in a wide range of refrigerated cabinets.

All else being equal, our two bladed shelf-edge technology will always outperform a single blade equivalent.
