Temperature and Humidity Control for Air Balancing in Food Processing Facilities
Restore airflow. Protect product quality. Maintain compliance without permanent infrastructure.
When Air Balancing Fails, Food and Beverage Operations Suffer
Consistent airflow, temperature, and humidity control isn't optional in meat and poultry processing; it's essential. Whether you're ramping up for seasonal demand, adjusting to new processes, or tackling facility challenges, Aggreko delivers engineered, temporary solutions that help maintain critical air balance without disrupting operations or straining capital budgets.
Engineered for Food Safety and Quality
The deeper problem with air balancing isn't just airflow; it affects your operation's performance. Poor airflow distribution and humidity control can jeopardize every aspect of your production process. Inconsistent temperatures often result in uneven product cooling, risking shelf life and customer safety. Excess moisture during or after sanitation cycles can encourage microbial growth, directly threatening food safety compliance.
Airflow balance in meat and poultry facilities also directly impacts labor conditions. Employees working in improperly balanced environments face physical discomfort, increased fatigue, and reduced productivity, adding stress to an already tight labor market. These issues make it harder to meet throughput goals while increasing operational costs.
Aggreko provides temperature control and humidity management systems tailored to your facility layout, airflow requirements, and operational goals.
Precise air balancing helps ensure:
Consistent product temperature during processing and storage
Controlled humidity for safer sanitation and microbial control
Compliance with USDA, FDA, and SQF standards
