Dry products When manufacturing or storing dry products such as soups or broths, it is important to dehumidify the premises as the ingredients might otherwise clump together when being mixed or in their packaging. This assures production quality and allows the same production rate to be maintained all year round.

Dry products  – When manufacturing or storing dry products such as soups or broths, it is important to dehumidify the premises as the ingredients might otherwise clump together when being mixed or in their packaging. This assures production quality and allows the same production rate to be maintained all year n ideally be predried when drying products in spray towers (and also fluidised beds). This prevents seasonal variations in production capacity. The product is cooled in a cooling stage before being packed; dehumidification of the product is prevented if the cooling air is dried. Air used in pneumatic systems can be dried in order to prevent dehumidification and conveyor blockages. If the air is not predried, there is a risk of dehumidification of the dried powder when it is cooled.

Storage of cheese for ripening  When storing cheese for ripening, maintaining temperature and humidity levels within tight tolerances is important to the quality and flavour of the cheese.

CASE : Biltong Meat dried for quality with government funding

Sydney is a lot more humid than South Africa and Local food processer Biltong2go realised they get better drying consistency and quality when a DST RA 061R desiccant dehumidifier is applied.

Further to this the energy savings allowed for a government load for half the capital cost of the project. The NSW Green Business Program provides $30 million over five years for projects that will save water and energy in business operations in NSW. Round 1 of the Green Business Program allocated $11.7 million to 24 water and energy projects, saving an estimated 164 million litres of drinking water and 36,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year.

CASE : Siemens Membrane

A drying room for processing membrane material needed low humidity and high capacity.  After delilberation of using AAAT product Seibu Giken DST model RA061R compared to a supplier used extensively on the site, AAAT received a purchase order and installation was complete in 2 days from order to enable Siemens to

CASE : Tooheys Brewery Lidcome – Yeast

Yeast storage rooms are very humidity sensitive, yeast strains thrive on high humidity and can cause the yeast to spoil before being used. Desiccant RA-061R unit installed in the yeast storage room supplies dry air to the room for preservation of the stored yeast and mold prevention.
