AIR HUMIDIFICATION IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

Air humidification for the food industry focuses on the processing and storage of sensitive and changing products. Air humidification systems from merlin^®are therefore well thought-out and tailored to each operation.

Preventing shrinkage and spoiled food by maintaining a constant relative humidity not only serves to increase yields. It also contributes to reducing food waste and to sustainability.

Proven products are used either for air humidification in AHUs or for direct room humidification. These components are used to design a system that is precisely adapted to the customer's processes.

HAZARDS DURING FOOD PROCESSING

As organic products, bread, cheese and other foods undergo deliberate processes of change during production. Unfavorable humidity can affect the quality and quantity of the goods produced:

Slowed ripening and fermentation processes

Weight loss during storage

Loss of freshness (fruit, vegetables)

Drying out of corks or barrels (wine)

Evaporation (whiskey, vinegar)

Dehydration (cheese)

Dust formation

Filling losses

CHALLENGES SOLVED INTELLIGENTLY

Air humidification precisely adapted to the requirements of the product in question ensures higher quality and more yields in food production and processing:

MORE INFOS

Optimal ripening and fermentation processes for bread and cheese

Full yield in cask aging

Storage and logistics shelf life

Best quality of ripening food

THE RIGHT INDOOR CLIMATE FOR BEST YIELDS

In the food industry especially, the indoor climate has an exceptionally strong influence on the quality and yield of your products. While a humidity of between 40 and 60% is optimal for processing inorganic materials, a much higher value must be achieved for many foodstuffs.

Air humidification in the food industry is faced with a greater variety of desired and undesired processes of change, fermentation, ripening, etc. ... For this reason, precise regulation of the room climate is particularly important when handling food. This is the only way to ensure quality, maximize yield and avoid shrinkage.

With its “EN ISO 22000 - Management Systems for Food Safety” certification, merlin^®also formally proves that customers in the food industry can rely on safety, hygiene and efficiency.
