Humidity control and drying for commercial kitchens and restaurants

High humidity levels can cause food items, especially dry goods and fresh produce, to absorb significant amounts of moisture from the air. This can lead to spoilage, clumping and a loss of texture and flavour, which increases waste and reduces the quality of your meals.

Furthermore, high humidity accelerates the growth of mould and bacteria, which compromises food safety and puts your commercial kitchen at risk of breaching sanitation standards.

As European leaders in commercial buildings climate control solutions, our dehumidifiers are trusted globally to maintain optimal storage conditions for food items.

Excess moisture in the air can cause metal surfaces and kitchen equipment to corrode and rust, shortening their useful lifespan. This increases maintenance costs and means equipment must be more regularly replaced.

Uncontrolled humidity can also lead to structural damage to walls, ceilings and floors, especially if condensation occurs regularly.

Yes. At Dantherm Group, our desiccant dehumidifiers perform well in temperatures as low as -20ºC, making them ideal in all manner of cold storage areas. This goes a long way to:

• Minimising mould growth and food spoilage

• Preventing ice formation and slip hazards for kitchen staff

• Meeting regulatory compliance for food safety

• Improving the energy efficiency and performance of refrigeration systems

The intense and fluctuating humidity demands in commercial kitchens require professional, industry-grade dehumidifiers to resolve. In most environments, condensation dehumidifiers are well-suited to manage the moisture content in these facilities with minimal energy consumption.

However, in particularly cold or demanding environments, such as cold storage areas, desiccant units are more suitable.

With decades of experience supporting clients in the catering industry, talk to our experts for balanced advice on the right dehumidification system for your commercial kitchen or restaurant.

Yes – areas near dishwashers, cooking stations and sinks tend to have higher humidity levels due to the steam and water used in these processes.

Targeted dehumidification in these more demanding zones can help manage moisture more effectively and limit the damage they can cause.

Yes – our intelligent dehumidification technology automatically adjusts based on changes in humidity and temperature in your facilities.

We understand that in commercial kitchens, conditions can fluctuate significantly based on footfall and the ambient climate. The automatic adjustments of our dehumidifiers counteract that risk to ensure humidity levels always stay within 60% RH, supporting the wellbeing of your kitchen staff and the efficiency of your operations.

Yes. Proper humidity control reduces the strain on your heating and cooling systems, making them more efficient and lowering energy consumption. This helps to reduce your operating costs and contributes to a more sustainable kitchen environment.

Furthermore, at Dantherm Group, we pride ourselves on engineering the most energy-efficient dehumidifiers in Europe. We commit to using energy-saving components and high-quality heat recovery systems to help our customers keep their running costs low year-round.

Several factors will influence the right size and type of dehumidifier for your commercial kitchen or restaurant, such as:

• The area you intend for your dehumidifier to operate

• The size and scale of this area

• The ambient temperature and humidity of this area
