Removing excess moisture in food processing and storage improves productivity, hygiene and prevents clogging of powders so reducing the rate of perish.
Water retentive materials absorb moisture and create an environment for bacterial, mould and fungal growth. Munters' dehumidifiers create a dry mini-climate around foodstuffs thus removing the moisture from the environment and its damaging effects.
In cooling tunnels products are surrounded with dry air so coolant temperatures can be optimised without condensation forming, so increasing production and reducing spoilage. In cold storage frost is caused when moist air enters the area. When it comes into contact with cold surfaces such as floors, walls and evaporator coils the water in the air condenses then freezes to form ice. Build up of ice greatly reduces the efficiency of cooling plant and cold store temperatures increase. Munters' desiccant dehumidifiers mean reduced defrosting, more efficient evaporators and dry floors for safer operation.
Through efficient use of energy control, the humidity in the air and the principle of dehumidification is inert and ecologically friendly.
