Efficient air conditioning solutions for the food industry in summer
Efficient air conditioning solutions for the food industry in summer
In summer, humidity and temperature conditions can negatively affect the supply chain and cause problems such as food spoilage and the growth of microorganisms and bacteria.
In this article, we will explore the importance of efficient air conditioning solutions in dehumidification and humidification , for the distribution sector in the food industry during the summer season.
Dehumidification: Preserving the quality and freshness of food
The installation of dehumidification systems allows levels to be maintained, avoiding excess humidity in the environment. These systems employ advanced technologies, such as desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers, that help consistently remove moisture from the air.
Some of the advantages are:
Prevention of mold and bacteria.
Improving the useful life of products.
Take care of aspects such as texture, flavor and appearance.
Humidification: Controlling humidity in critical environments
Maintenance in these critical environments offers significant benefits such as:
Prevents moisture dehydration and premature deterioration of the product.
Reduces static charge buildup and to maintain an ideal work environment.
It can favor the fermentation process, improving the quality of the product.
The importance of dehumidification and humidification solutions extends to various sectors within the food industry.
Below, we'll explore some of these sectors and the reasons why these solutions are essential:
Meat industry
Dehumidification is used in storage rooms to prevent condensation on meat, which helps prevent the growth of bacteria and the appearance of mold.
Controlled humidification is used in the maturation and curing of meat, where exact humidity is required to achieve the desired texture and flavor.
Fruit and vegetable industry
Therefore, dehumidification systems help control the relative humidity in storage areas, preventing deterioration and prolonging freshness.
At the same time, controlling the humidification of the environment is necessary in certain cases to prevent dehydration of fruits and vegetables during storage at low temperatures.
Dairy industry
Controlled dehumidification in product storage rooms prevents condensation and ice formation, which could affect texture and flavor.
Likewise, humidification requires a specific level of humidity for the proper development of crops and the formation of the characteristic crust of some cheeses.
