Food and beverage humidity control solutions FAQs

Why is humidity control important in food and beverage production?

Humidity control is key for food and beverage production in several ways. Firstly, it benefits the quality and safety of products as high humidity can cause microbial growth, spoilage and poor health. Conversely, low humidity can cause products to dry out, affecting their taste and texture.

Precise humidity control helps maintain consistency in production processes – something essential for achieving uniform product quality. Additionally, because excessive moisture in the air corrodes machinery, and overly dry conditions lead to static electricity issues, the right technology influences the performance and energy efficiency of vital equipment.

Moreover, humidity helps preserve raw materials and ingredients for longer, preventing clumping, caking, or moisture absorption, which can drastically affect appearance and integrity.

How can high humidity affect food production?

High humidity in food production promotes microbial growth, leading to spoilage and potential health hazards. It can also cause products to become excessively moist, affecting texture and quality. Additionally, high humidity can impact equipment performance and efficiency, and make environments uncomfortable for your team.

How do drying solutions benefit the food and beverage industry?

As well as enhancing the efficiency of production, preventing bacterial growth and improving product quality, drying solutions can speed up the process of drying and curing ingredients, such as dried fruits and jerkies.

What humidity control and drying solutions are suitable in food and beverage production?

Humidity control solutions that are often used in food and beverage production include:

  • Condensation dehumidifiers
  • Desiccant dehumidifiers
  • Air handling units

At Dantherm Group, we design, engineer and supply all of these units. Get in touch with our experts to discuss your needs, and we can advise on the right option for you.

What are condensation and desiccant dehumidifiers and how do they work in food processing facilities?

Condensation dehumidifiers extract moisture from the air by cooling it below its dew point, causing water vapour to condense and collect in a reservoir. Desiccant dehumidifiers use a desiccant material to absorb moisture from the air, with dry, warm air returned in its place.

Condensation dehumidifiers are typically most effective in high-humidity food processing facilities, while desiccant dehumidifiers excel in extreme humidity and low-temperature environments.

Are there specific humidity level guidelines for different food products?

Yes, there are specific humidity level guidelines for different food products to ensure optimal quality and safety.

Generally, moisture-sensitive products like grains and dried fruits require lower humidity levels to prevent spoilage and maintain freshness. Meanwhile fresh produce and baked goods may benefit from slightly more moist environments to prevent dehydration and texture changes.

Whatever your regulations or guidelines, our market-leading humidity control technology helps you maintain the right conditions across your facilities.

Can improper humidity control lead to food safety concerns?

Yes – excessive humidity can promote microbial and mould growth. This can quickly cause goods to spoil and allow health hazards to affect your raw ingredients and finished products.

What are the long-term cost benefits of your humidity control solutions in food manufacturing?

Our humidity control solutions offer long-term cost benefits by reducing spoilage, improving product quality, and minimising equipment corrosion.

By maintaining optimal humidity levels, our systems help enhance your operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and decrease maintenance costs – allowing you to make significant savings over time.

Are your humidity control and drying solutions energy-efficient?

Yes. At Dantherm Group, we take great pride in engineering some of the most energy-efficient dehumidification units in Europe and around the globe enabling our customers to recoup the investment they make in our products in a matter of years.

Can I buy your humidity control solutions for the food and beverage industry online?

We don’t make our food and beverage dehumidifiers 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.

Across all of our products, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting your enquiry and contact details.

How soon can you supply your food and beverage drying systems?
