Food Production

Introduction

Why is humidity control important to Food Production?

Every year, UK food manufacturers discard nearly 1.4 million tonnes of food, with poor product quality accounting for a significant portion of this loss. Uncontrolled relative humidity (RH) is a major driver of waste, causing raw ingredients to clump on packaging lines, baked goods to absorb excess moisture, and products to lose weight and visual appeal. Maintaining precise environmental control across storage, processing, and curing areas is critical to prevent spoilage, stop mould growth, and protect product shelf life.

In the UK, food processing facilities face diverse climate requirements, from keeping dry powders free-flowing to preventing moisture buildup in cold storage. Utilising the correct combination of humidifiers and dehumidifiers, such as isothermal steam units or desiccant systems, helps ensure HACCP compliance maintain produce standard and protect profit margins. Every facility manages different ingredients and production processes, implementing a tailored climate control solution is essential to guarantee product consistency and minimise costly waste.

Benefits

Uncontrolled humidity can damage food items during storage. Maintaining the correct moisture balance protects your stock from drying out or degrading, significantly lowering ingredient waste and keeping food fresh for longer. Weight is also increased which can increase yields.

Food ingredients are highly sensitive to environmental shifts, change product weights, and damage presentation. Tight climate control ensures a completely stable production line, guaranteeing that every batch meets your exact quality standards.

Properly managed humidity stops condensation from forming on surfaces, eliminating the damp conditions where bacteria and mould flourish. At the same time, optimised moisture levels help cooling and heating systems control temperatures faster, lowering your overall energy bills.
