Sugar Production: Solving Humidity Challenges
Maintaining optimal humidity levels is crucial for sugar processing, storage, and transportation. Desiccant Technologies Group provides a highly effective solution by removing excess moisture, ensuring stable production and storage conditions.
The Impact of Uncontrolled Humidity in Sugar Production
Poor humidity control can cause:
- Sintering and caramelization – sugar hardens and degrades during processing
- Clumping and sticking – affecting transportation, packaging, and usability
- Condensation in storage areas – leading to moisture buildup on walls and roofs
- Mould and bacteria growth – compromising hygiene and safety
- Production stoppages – causing downtime and inefficiencies
- Metal corrosion – damaging equipment and storage infrastructure
- Failures in electrical and electronic systems – leading to unexpected breakdowns
The best way to prevent these issues is by removing excess moisture using desiccant dehumidification throughout sugar production and storage.
Where Humidity Control Is Needed in Sugar Processing
Excess moisture can negatively impact product quality at various stages of sugar production and handling:
- Granulated Sugar Processing
- Lump Sugar Production & Pressing
- Sugar Drying & Cooling
- Belt Conveyor Transport to Silos & Storage
- Pre-packing & Long-Term Storage
To ensure sugar remains free-flowing and uncontaminated, optimal humidity levels must be maintained:
- 30% – 50% RH during production
- 50% RH at 24°C for storage
