The Outcomes:
The Challenge:
The client had an old system in the powder mixing room, which was in poor condition and unable to maintain the required 10°C production temperature.
There was severe corrosion due to wash-down chemicals and the area never dried after being washed down, resulting in high microbiological growth.
We had limited space in which to design and build a solution which focused on reducing the humidity levels on the premises.
The Solution:
Our solution was designed and built within a short timescale. It was installed with 24/7 production in progress and tailored to fit a very tight footprint with special wash-down functionality built-in.
The new system meets HEPA filtration levels, while the existing external refrigeration plant has been re-used. Our online defrosting has not caused any loss of performance.

The phrase ‘Turnkey Solution’ is used extensively in projects, but never has it been better suited than for describing a project by Penmann.

We found Penmann to have an excellent understanding not only of air conditioning and refrigeration but also of the production process and the logistics that surround it. All timescales were achieved and the systems are working well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Penmann to others.
