Humidity control and drying for cheese ripening and dairies

While this will depend on the specific type of cheese you are producing, the optimal humidity level for a cheese-ripening room is typically between 75% and 95% RH. The ideal temperature range for these spaces is between 7ºC and 15ºC.

For optimal climate conditioning in your cheese production facilities, industrial-grade dehumidifiers designed for high humidity control are ideal. It is also important that these high-performance units are durable enough to withstand the rigorous demands of dairy production.

For these reasons, desiccant dehumidifiers are often preferred in these environments. However, a reliable condensation dehumidifier can achieve similar results.

As experts in food and beverage climate control, our professionals will help you determine the most appropriate dehumidification solution for your needs. Get in touch with our team today for a free consultation.

An effective dehumidifier regulates humidity in the space where your cheese ages. Removing moisture from the air, these units ensure consistency across the whole ripening process.

By operating at all stages of maturation, dehumidifiers prevent any unwanted fluctuations from compromising your produce, and support the growth of cultures that enhance flavour and texture. This control leads to more reliable batches of cheese, supporting your long-term revenue.

As a manufacturer with decades of experience, our wide range of cutting-edge commercial dehumidifiers are used to create the ideal controlled conditions in cheese and dairy factories across Europe and beyond.

Yes. High humidity levels can encourage the growth of hazardous mould and mildew on your cheese in storage. This does more than affect their taste, texture and appearance – it can make your cheeses unsafe for people to consume.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when choosing a dehumidifier for your cheese-ripening facilities. Numerous factors will influence your choice, including:

• The size and scale of your facilities

• The kinds of cheeses you produce

• The typical climate of your facilities and surroundings

• The volume of cheese you make
