Humidity control and drying for meat processing facilities

Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with cold surfaces, which can harm the hygiene of your meat, the health of your teams and the condition of your apparatus.

To prevent these droplets from landing inside your processing plant, dehumidifiers constantly draw in damp air and physically remove excess water vapour from the atmosphere.

Yes, the right drying technology can help reduce unpleasant odours by keeping humidity levels appropriately low and mould growth in check.

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

If you need help determining the best solution for your operations, speak to our experts.

This depends on the type of room you are drying. For example, experts recommend keeping meat-cutting spaces at a relative humidity (RH) of 45% to 60%. Cold stores, however, should sit between 85% and 95% RH.

Through the removal of excess moisture, professional dehumidification can halt mould growth and act as rudimentary pathogen control. This can protect people and produce from spores, germs and bacteria that are common in damp environments.

However, dehumidification systems should not be considered a substitute for dedicated disinfection or air cleaning solutions for the food industry.

When your atmospheres hold more moisture, frost can form on refrigeration systems, rust can damage packaging machinery and water damage can decay cardboard boxes.

By installing capable dehumidifiers and dryers in your facility, you can extend the lifecycle of your equipment, reduce the chances of unforeseen breakdowns, and minimise the resources required to keep technology in good working order.
