Benefits
of Weldable Webbing Curtains
- When
tensioned vertically the curtains sit flatter because the webbing is welded to the curtain fabric.
- Welded webbing curtains
fit older trucks and trailers better.
- Welded webbing curtains
are about 10% cheaper than sleeved curtains because they have fewer components.
- Easier to repair

Benefits
of Sleeved Curtains
Sleeved curtains are
stronger than the welded webbing curtains. This is due to the different
webbing used, not the curtain fabric itself.

| Insulated
Curtains
Both welded webbing and pocketed curtain
systems can be insulated to suit refrigerated
trucks and trailers.
Polyweld's insulated
curtains have been independently tested
by CSIRO to give thermal resistance ratings
listed below. Tests performed to Australian
standard ASTM 518/AS2464.5-1985
Significant operating cost savings are possible
with Polyweld insulated curtains.
Better thermal performance
means lower achievable temperatures. Polyweld's insulation material consists of a layer
of air cells laminated to a layer of aluminium
foil. These two elements give the material
both insulating and reflective properties.

Polyweld's material
does not absorb water. Some types
of open cell foam insulation do absorb water whichs increases their weight and decreases their
insulation efficiency. |
Factors
Affecting Thermal Performance
There are many factors effecting the performance
of a curtain sided refrigerated vehicle;
the selection of the refrigeration unit,
the vehicles construction, the colour of
the curtain and the body, the temperature
of the freight on loading and the amount
of air leakage into the vehicle. Your choice
of insulated curtains will dramatically
affect your refrigeration fuel costs and
the minimum achievable temperature inside
your vehicle.
Fuel Savings
More effective insulation means better fuel
efficiency. Save up to 55% on refrigeration
costs with our single layer Superchill curtain
and up to 65% with our double layer Ultrachill
curtain. Fuel savings will depend on your
specific application.
Achievable Temperature
How low can you go? Polyweld's customers
have been astounded by the temperatures
they can achieve with Polyweld's Ultrachill
insulated curtains. Better thermal performance
means lower achievable temperatures. It
has been calculated that heat transfer can
be reduced by up to 40% by choosing Superchill,
and by up to 50% by choosing Ultrachill.*
Air Ducts
Improve cold air circulation around your
vehicle by installing Polyweld Air Duct.
We will manufacture an air duct to your
specifications.

 1. Layer - Flexichill
- Flexible insulation
for easy operation
- Suitable where flexibility
is favoured over thermal performance
2. Layer - Superchill
- Double the insulation
for double the performance
- Save up to 55% on refrigeration
fuel costs
- The most versatile curtains
on the market
- What people are saying
about Superchill..."We chose Superchill
for its versatility, we carry both cold
and normal freight. Providing the freight
goes in cold, we have no problem keeping
the freight at the required temperature."
3. Layer - Ultrachill
- Triple the insulation
for superior insulating performance
- Save up to 65% on refrigeration
fuel costs
- Achieve sub-zero
temperatures in warm climates.
- What
people are saying about Ultrachill..."They're
unbelievable, I wouldn't consider going
back to double or single layers. I can
achieve at least 40 degree C temperature
difference without worrying" -Terry
