Benefits

Maintaining ideal conditions in conveyor systems requires precise humidity control. Fluctuations can affect product quality and process reliability.

Prevents adhesion

Avoids materials sticking to conveyor belts or rollers due to high humidity

Enhances safety

Reduces the risk of slippage or malfunction caused by moisture on conveyor systems

Stable quality

Keeps conditions stable for consistent product quality

Dehumidification for Conveyor Technology

Top of page Benefits Use cases FAQs

Preventing corrosion on conveyor systems

Iron does not rust in dry air. When water is present, the oxygen in the air reacts with the iron. This reaction produces iron hydroxides and oxides. These substances build up on the surface as rust. Unlike aluminium, the rusting of iron does not stop and will continue until the iron is completely damaged.

Keeping bulk material pourable

High or fluctuating humidity can severely reduce the flowability of bulk materials, especially powders or granules. In chemical and pharmaceutical production,
pre-dehumidifying the air prevents sticking or lump formation during transport. Modern adsorption dryers ensure reliable material flow from silo to storage, maintain processing quality, and reduce cleaning costs.

Preventing general cargo from adhering to conveyor belts

A consistent, smooth production flow is key to process quality. Without sufficient dehumidification, products may stick to conveyor belts or clump, disrupting operations. Intelligent dehumidification solutions help food manufacturers maintain optimal process control.

Tuna fish canning factory

Condair's JetSpray humidifier is helping refrigeration equipment specialists ICS Cool Energy increase profits at a leading worldwide brand of canned fish by $1 million per year. By maintaining a high humidity around the fish after steaming, evaporative weight loss from the cooked fish has been reduced from approximately 5% to 0.67%. The humidification system is preventing up to 8.5 tonnes of product from simply evaporating each day between cooking and canning.After steaming, the fish needs to be rapidly cooled in order to be processed and canned but can lose up to 20% of its moisture in the process, impacting significantly on its weight. As the factory processes up to 200 tonnes of fish each day, this severely reduced the yield on its product. ICS Cool Energy was tasked by its long standing client to find a more cost effective replacement to its existing cool room sprinkler system, which was proving inefficient in terms of energy and water usage.
