Cold storage facilities
No moisture. No ice.
Ice and frost, in and on chilled and frozen food, affect quality, safety and productivity. Unwanted moisture can lead to microbial growth, unsanitary environments and spoilage. But Munters state-of-the-art cold storage dehumidifiers for food and beverages can stop these problems.
Because of differing levels of humidity in ambient air vs. air in cold-storage areas, moisture-laden outdoor air that enters your food-and-beverage cold-storage warehouse can accelerate the formation of ice and frost. In cold environments, water in outdoor air will condense and be transformed into ice, snow, frost and fog.
Once the level of water vapor drops below a certain threshold, condensation will longer form. No moisture means no ice, which increases product quality.
Safeguard product quality and reduce your costs and carbon footprint by eliminating moisture and ice in your cold storage areas with a Munters dehumidifier for food and beverage. Our dehumidifiers for food processing are designed to create the perfect climate in your facility.

Applications for food and beverage cold storage
Improved worker safety
Ice and condensation cause slippery floors. Ice deposits can even fall on personnel from overhead. Excessive humidity can cause mist and reduce visibility.
Munters dehumidification solutions for cold storage areas that house food and beverages can help you maintain optimal safety by preventing ice and condensation. No ice means workers won’t slip and trip and equipment won’t be damaged by falling ice. No mist means no accidents due to reduced visibility.
Prevent contamination
Excess moisture may lead to waste and health risks. Melting ice or pooled condensation can damage products and lead to microbial growth, which can ultimately result in reduced profit margins and poor customer relations.
To preserve product quality, customer satisfaction, and higher revenues, eliminate moisture before it enters your cold storage unit.
Without proper dehumidification, condensation and ice are likely to build up in your food and beverage cold storage. Defrosting takes time and energy, and your evaporator won’t operate efficiently if ice has formed on it, further driving up operating costs.

“The advantages of the installation are obvious”, explains Koen Dejonghe, at Pinguin. “The ground is no longer slippery from condensation. We also increased the quality of the products. The vegetables no longer freeze together.”
