Muller Dairy multihead weigher

Air conditioning and dehumidification solutions to maintain low temperatures and moisture levels

The Outcomes:

  • Areas held at design temperature and moisture level 24/7
  • Product clumping issues resolved
  • Frequency of wash-down reduced
  • Line efficiency improved
  • Product quality improved
  • Complaints reduced

The Challenge:

Food product handling issues were rife for our client. Their sugar-based products in the bulk bag discharge and multi-head weighing room were hygroscopic and kept sticking together, while the conveyor system, which was located on two different floors, also required frequent cleaning.

The Solution:

We enclosed both the areas using a dry wall insulated panel system to speed up the installation and reduce plant downtime.

A full stainless construction was installed around live production in a high hygiene area, which was very congested with existing services. Both areas were individually conditioned to maintain low temperatures and moisture levels, while desiccant dehumidification was employed to achieve a low moisture level.

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.
