Newsletter April Week 4 ( Humidity Control is Essential for Food Industry)
Humidity Control is Essential for Food Industry
Food being one of the major reasons affecting the human health and well being, it becomes paramount to ensure that it is produced and stored in an environment that is safe and hygienic. Alterations in the quality of food caused by environments having inappropriate humidity levels can ultimately lead to deterioration in customer experience and also cause negative impact on human health.
Food has to be stored in relatively low temperature surroundings. This gives rise to greater temperature difference between outside and indoor environment, which leads to emergence of high humidity conditions. High humidity has many adverse effects on different aspects in the Food Industry such as production, packaging, storage etc.

Newsletter February Week 2 (Humidity Control for Laminates)
Humidity Control for Laminates
Laminates are widely used in residential and commercial places for surfacing purposes. In addition to beauty it can provide strength and protection to the furniture. Laminate sheets can be used in flooring, for walls and for decorating furniture. If these laminates are stored in high humidity conditions they deteriorate in quality.
Effects of High Humidity
- High moisture leads to condensation on walls and ceilings of the storage area
- If RH exceeds 55% wooden elements are subjected to expansion because of moisture absorption
- Buckling and warping of laminate sheets kept adjacent to each other
- Condensation on the sheets can cause water to seep in and warp the wooden elements
- Since laminates are formed by bonding layers of wood , high moisture content during drying can cause improper bonding and damage the wood
- Excessive moisture is a menace to stored laminates . This will give rise to number of rejected part
Advantages Of Dehumidifiers
- Controlled humidity to ensure high quality parts
- Ensures proper drying during bonding of wooden layers

Newsletter February Week 3 (Humidity Control for Bakeries)
Humidity Control for Bakeries
Maintaining optimal humidity levels is crucial in the storage areas for handling goods that are baked or are stored for baking in the future. Baked items such as biscuits, pastries, cakes, bread etc. go through a number of processing steps. If humidity is not appropriate during the processing steps the end result is not satisfactory in terms of both quality and appearance.
In a Bakery humidity levels should not be too low to dry out a product and not too high for deterioration to take place. Optimal RH levels must be between 40- 60% for most of the Bakery applications.
Effects of Humidity
Excessive humidity can cause food items such as crusts to lose its crispiness. It can also hinder the dough drying process which is necessary for pasta.
Alterations in moisture content lead to changes in baking time required to acquire ideal blend of crispiness and softness. High humidity corresponds to longer baking times, as more moisture is absorbed by the ingredients, also gluten coagulation in the dough slows down.
Humidity conditions in storage areas of Baked items play a prominent role. Overly humid conditions can cause deterioration in items such as breads, crispy items, pastries etc. making them unappealing and unappetizing.
High humidity can lead to condensation on the walls and ceilings of the room. This gives rise to microbiological growth and unpleasant smell.
Advantages Of Dehumidifiers
- Increases production efficiency
- Decreases downtime
- Keeps surroundings safe from mold growth
- Improves workers productivity
- Reduced number of rejections

Newsletter February Week 4 (Humidity Control for Pharmaceutical Industry)
Humidity Control for Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical Industries are mainly involved in developing, producing and marketing of all kinds of medicines for diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease. Most pharmaceutical ingredients such as Active Pharma Ingredients (API), filling powders, capsules, tablets are hygroscopic in nature.
It is essential to ensure optimal humidity is maintained in all aspects of Pharma production, storage, testing, mixing & packaging in the process of manufacturing
Effects of Humidity
Clean Rooms and R&D Labs require high sterility to protect the sensitive equipment. High moisture content in the air affects the chemical integrity of the substances used and will give inaccurate results.
High moisture content in the air damages the storage boxes which will ultimately lead to the damage of products inside it. Packing of moisture with the product is likely to happen when using Aluminum as it is moisture sensitive.
Equipment such as X ray Diffractometer, mass spectrometer, HPLC equipment etc. need to be utilized in humidity controlled environment for maximum efficiency and to avoid errors
In manufacture of cough drops, stamping of material which is in plastic state is required. Excess water content can make it sticky and it will adhere to the stamping machine.
In soft gelatin capsule manufacturing a ribbon is formed from gelatin which will the turn automatically into a capsule. High humidity will result in softening of gelatin, ultimately hindering the process of its solidification into a ribbon.
In packaging and filling of dry powders, the powder might stick to the conveyor if lumps are formed because of excess humidity. This will cause downtime and inappropriate filling.
Advantages Of Dehumidifiers
- Increases production efficiency
- Decreases downtime
- Maintenance of sensitive testing equipment
- Increase in shelf life of products
