Humidity control and drying for lyophilisation tunnels and cold stores

High humidity levels inside your cold storage facilities can cause large amounts of ice to build on perishables. As well as damaging their protective packaging, this can compromise the flavour, texture and nutritional value of your food items.

At best, this could mean your stored goods are of a lesser quality. At worst, it could mean your produce has a shorter shelf-life or is unfit for sale entirely.

Dehumidifiers and industrial dryers physically remove excess moisture in cold storage and lyophilisation tunnels, creating a constant flow of dry air that helps prevent the formation of frost, mist, mould and other unwanted byproducts. This in turn supports your people’s safety, your products’ quality and your equipment’s performance.

Excess moisture in cold storage facilities and freezing tunnels allows ice to form on refrigeration equipment. With time, this can drastically reduce the performance of your temperature control units and increase their energy consumption rates.

Lyophilisation tunnels freeze-dry food to increase its shelf life, while preserving its taste, texture and nutritional value. Excess water vapour during this process can infiltrate your goods and affect the performance of these tunnels, affecting the quality and longevity of these items.

Consistent dry air is important to keep moisture levels optimal, so your food items are protected and your apparatus runs efficiently.

Thanks to their outstanding drying capacity in sub-zero conditions, industrial dryers and desiccant dehumidifiers are the best dry air systems for cold stores and freezing tunnels.
