Sausage Production: Solving Humidity Challenges
Maintaining optimal humidity levels is essential for sausage production, drying, and storage. Excess moisture can lead to mould growth, product spoilage, equipment downtime, and hygiene concerns. Desiccant dehumidifiers provide an efficient solution by removing excess moisture, ensuring consistent product quality, hygiene, and operational efficiency.
The Impact of Uncontrolled Humidity in Sausage Production
Poor humidity control can cause:
- Mould and bacteria growth – affecting product quality and safety
- Condensation on production equipment – leading to hygiene risks
- Frequent production stoppages – increasing downtime and costs
- Defrosting and cleaning delays – reducing operational efficiency
- Electrical system failures – disrupting production lines
The most effective way to combat these issues is through desiccant dehumidification, which removes excess moisture from the air during production, drying, and storage.
Why Choose Desiccant Dehumidifiers for Sausage Production?
Desiccant dehumidifiers from Desiccant Technologies Group are designed to meet the strict environmental conditions required for sausage processing. Our systems provide:
- High drying efficiency with low energy consumption
- Reliable performance in low temperatures
- Compact, lightweight design for easy installation
- Fully automated humidity control
- Corrosion-resistant casing (stainless steel or Aluzinc)
- Compliance with all EU Directives and quality standards
By integrating desiccant rotor technology, we ensure that humidity remains at optimal levels throughout sausage production and storage.
Storage Requirements
Using desiccant technology in production areas, drying chambers, and storage facilities helps maintain optimal relative humidity levels and ensures proper airflow conditions for efficient operation and product preservation.
| Stages of production / storage | The relative humidity, RH, % | Temperature conditions, °C |
|---|---|---|
| Cold smoking | 90-95% | 20-24°C |
| Ripening and drying | 70-75% | 10-15°C |
| Storage of half-smoked products | 75-78% | 6-8°C |
| Storage of raw-smoked products | 25-35% | 0-2°C |
| Storage of boiled-smoked products | 75-78% | 12-15°C |
| Storage of natural herbs and spices | 70-75% | 20-22°C |
| Storage of auxiliary materials: Nets, loops, covers | 60-70% | >6°C |
| Storage of auxiliary materials: Packthread/string | 14-17% | >6°C |
| Storage of covers: Natural | 60-70% | 5°C |
| Storage of covers: Collagen, fibrous, polyamide and cellulose | 60-70% | 16-20°C |
Our industrial dehumidifiers can effectively regulate humidity at any temperature, ensuring that the ideal microclimate is maintained at every stage of the sausage production process.
