The quality and longevity of many foods are dependent on the
environment in which they are processed and stored. For example, cheese production,
aging and storage, don’t require the same humidity levels. Depending on the temperature and
type of cheese, their needs can vary between 65 and 95% RH.
Preserving the quality of raw meats requires preciseness as they should be kept at about 75 to
80% RH. If the humidity levels dip below that, meat quality decreases, but if they go over,
bacteria risks are heightened.
Vegetables and fruits all require certain levels of ambient humidity which must be maintained as
well. They will begin to lose their turgidity as soon as there is a vapor pressure differential
between them and the ambient air in storage facilities.
Neptronic’s humidifiers can help create the optimal ambient conditions to increase process efficiency in food production facilities. Our vast selection of controllers, sensors and humidistats help you accurately and reliably monitor and control your humidifier according to your needs.
