T3 stay on the safe side with the leading range of air purification systems

Stay on the safe side with the leading range of air purification systems

In the meat industry, the low temperatures required to keep meat cool and staff working in tight spaces are prime conditions for viruses and bacteria. As your air coolers and dehumidifiers recirculate the air, this can allow harmful particles to spread, risking your people’s health and your food’s safety.

Ensure that the air in your meat processing facilities is clean, safe and germ-free with the right air purification units. Refined over decades with highly efficient air filters that eliminate 99.995% of airborne viruses, trust our systems to keep workers safe and processes running smoothly.

Air cleaning for slaughterhouses and meat processing factories: FAQs

Why are air purifiers important in slaughterhouses and meat processing factories?

The risk of airborne infections spreading in slaughterhouses and meat processing factories is high for several reasons:

  • The cool temperatures often found in production areas (typically between 6ºC and 10ºC) are ideal conditions for germs and viruses to spread

  • As people work closely throughout the day, the bacteria they breathe out can quickly take hold in these environments

  • When meat and other food products are handled, insufficient hygiene can allow pathogens to become aerosolized and enter the atmosphere

Combined, these conditions allow unwanted particles to survive for hours in your indoor air, increasing the risk of infections spreading from person to person.

Air purifiers greatly reduce this risk by capturing and filtering out germs, dust, allergens, mould spores and other harmful airborne contaminants, improving the overall air quality. This helps you:

  • Better protect your workers’ respiratory health

  • Create better breathing conditions for your employees’ comfort

  • Reduce the presence of unpleasant odours

  • Prevent virus outbreaks affecting your site’s productivity and performance

  • Reduce the risk of bacteria contaminating your meat products

What factors should I consider when choosing an air purification solution?

When choosing an air purification solution for your slaughterhouse or meat processing factory, you should consider the following:

  • Is the unit powerful enough to support my production areas?

  • Does the unit feature multiple levels of pathogen control?

  • Does the unit have H14 HEPA filters for the most effective air filtration?

  • Where are the main problem areas in my facilities?

Speak to our experts for bespoke advice on choosing the right air purifiers or commercial air cleaners for your specific environments.

How do your air purifiers help ensure contamination prevention in slaughterhouses?

Our powerful, reliable air purifiers help ensure contamination prevention in slaughterhouses through multiple layers of air filtration.

This is spearheaded by H14 HEPA air filters, individually designed per EN 1822. HEPA filters can contain 99.995% of airborne particles larger than 0.1µm, which means no more than five of 100,000 particles will pass through and back into the atmosphere.

This covers a wide range of airborne viruses, including those that cause the common cold, influenza, tuberculosis and coronavirus. HEPA filters also comfortably deal with dust, allergens, mould spores, pet dander and much more.

Beyond this, many of our air filtration units also incorporate other filters (G4 coarse dust filters, F9 fine dust filters, etc.) and thermal decontamination for even more comprehensive contamination prevention. Talk to our experts today to discuss the options available.

Can your air cleaners help with odour control in slaughterhouses and meat processing factories?

Yes. As many of our air cleaners incorporate activated carbon filters, these trap odour molecules and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to help eliminate unpleasant odours in your facilities.

How do air purifiers help to improve worker safety in meat processing factories?

By removing a large number of airborne pathogens, dust, and other contaminants, air purifiers help reduce respiratory health issues and other problems in your workforce. This leads to a healthier environment, fewer sick days and greater productivity overall.

Can your air purifiers help prevent cross-contamination in my meat processing facilities?

Yes. By reducing the concentration of airborne pathogens, our air purifiers can help you prevent cross-contamination between different areas of your meat processing facilities, such as from meat-cutting zones to processing and packaging areas. This is crucial to maintain food safety and stop infectious diseases from spreading to different areas of your factories.

Will using air cleaners help me stay compliant with health and safety regulations?

Yes. If your meat processing factories and slaughterhouses are subject to strict air quality standards, using high-performance air cleaners will help you maintain a safe, compliant environment.

Where should I place an air cleaning unit in my slaughterhouse or meat processing facility?

This will depend on the unique configuration of your slaughterhouse or meat processing facility. In most instances, air purifiers should be strategically placed in high-risk areas where contamination is most likely, such as near processing lines, packaging areas and entrances.

Proper placement ensures that the air in these critical areas is continuously cleaned. For specific advice on the positioning of air cleaners in your facility, talk to our experts.

How often should the air filters in these units be replaced in meat processing facilities?

The frequency of air filter replacement depends on the specific environment and usage. In high-contamination areas like meat processing facilities, it’s recommended to check and replace filters more frequently, such as every few months, to ensure the air purifiers remain effective.

As every system is unique, we recommend following the instructions for filter replacement in your specific unit’s manual. However, when it comes to our solutions, we design our air purifiers to make the process of changing filters as simple as possible. On top of this, many of our Trotec TAC units employ thermal decontamination to prolong their filters’ lifetimes.

Can I buy your air purification systems for slaughterhouses and meat processing factories online?

We don’t make our clean-air solutions available to purchase online to ensure that every system we design, manufacture and supply fits your exact requirements. By taking a consultative approach with a highly-trained expert, we make sure that you are only recommended equipment that meets your needs – and fulfils these in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.
