According to Thorworld MD, John
Meale, minimising internal
temperature changes and reducing
energy costs in the loading bay is not
only simple but extremely costeffective
with the installation of
Thortight Inflatable Dock Seals,
which provide virtually airtight
sealed insulation between the
internal and external
environments.
Easy to install, operate and maintain, the seals are fitted around the sides and top of each loading bay. The vehicle simply reverses up to the dock as normal and, once in position, the Thortight seals are inflated to create a tight seal before the doors are then opened and loading/unloading can proceed.
As well as preventing the loss of refrigerated or warm air, the dock seals help to prevent dirt, dust and insects from entering the building, minimising contamination risk.
