Humidity control and drying for beverage production: FAQs

Why is humidity control important in beverage production?

Without adequate moisture management equipment, the pipes, machines and bottles that handle your cool beverages can rapidly condense. This excess water vapour can cause many problems:

  • Undermining the comfort, safety and productivity of your teams on the ground

  • Increasing the risk of mould, mildew or bacteria contaminating your finished products

  • Jeopardising the signature colour, fizz or taste of your soft drinks

  • Corroding the core equipment your production line relies on

  • Damaging your product labels and packaging

  • Compromising the integrity of your food and beverage production facilities

Prevent these issues from grinding the efficiency or profitability of your beverage manufacturing efforts to a halt. Talk to our team about securing the most cost-effective dehumidification solution for your needs.

What is the ideal humidity level for beverage production facilities?

This will depend on the kind of beverages you produce and the specific processes you conduct inside. However, it is generally recommended to keep beverage production facilities at a relative humidity (RH) of between 40% and 60%.

If you want bespoke guidance on the ideal climate for your specific operations, speak to our experts.

What types of dehumidifiers are used in beverage production facilities?

Owing to their exceptional drying performance in cool conditions, desiccant dehumidifiers and industrial dryers are ideally suited to the unique demands of the drinks industry.

Pairing these units with a capable measurement device helps you effortlessly gain a clear picture of the climate inside your facilities at all times.

For tailored guidance on the best climate control solution for your setup, talk to our experts.

How can humidity control help protect equipment in beverage production?

By physically capturing and removing excess moisture from the air, humidity control systems better safeguard your key equipment from rust, electrical faults and other damp-related damage. This helps extend their useful lifespan and minimises the frequency of repairs and replacements, saving you significant amounts of money over time.

Can humidity affect the packaging of beverages?

Yes – when exposed to considerable amounts of moisture, packaging integrity can suffer, meaning:

  • Labels can fall off and jeopardise your products’ in-store appeal

  • Cans can corrode, undermining your good’s safety and product’s quality

  • Seals can perish on glass bottles, increasing the risk of leaks and contamination

  • Cardboard boxes can weaken, complicating the transport of your goods

Is mould a concern in beverage production due to humidity?

Yes – excess moisture and condensation can trigger the growth of mould and mildew, which can threaten the health of your staff and the quality of your final products. Humidity control technology helps prevent condensation from forming on surfaces, greatly reducing the risk of mould and mildew developing.

Do you sell energy-efficient dehumidifiers for beverage production plants?

Yes, our range of high-performance dehumidification systems are some of the most energy-efficient solutions on the market.

Combining decades of expertise, high-quality components, and a steadfast commitment to European engineering, the solutions we supply enable the drinks industry to maintain ideal humidity conditions in the most cost-effective way possible.

How should you monitor humidity in beverage production facilities?

We recommend using sophisticated measurement devices, such as hygrometers, to accurately monitor the humidity levels in your beverage factories. For advice on the right devices to track your climate conditions, speak to our team of professionals.

Can I buy your humidity control solutions for the drinks industry online?

We don’t make our 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.
