Discover how industrial desiccant dehumidifiers solve ice, mold, and equipment problems in frozen food production and storage. Serving Canada and the USA.
The Best Way to Solve Problems in the Process of Freezing Food
Humidity control is essential for maintaining the quality of frozen foods and the reliability of equipment. During production and storage, excess moisture can create significant issues in freezers, storage facilities, and processing lines.
- How to prevent condensation and ice formation on equipment and products?
- How to reduce the frequency of defrosting and equipment downtime?
- How to improve long-term storage quality for frozen goods?
- How to maintain a hygienic environment and prevent mildew or bacterial growth?
To address these challenges, achieving optimal humidity in your frozen food production and storage spaces is a must. See our food industry solutions and DL Series dehumidifiers for advanced humidity control.
What Problems Does Uncontrolled Humidity Cause?
- Condensed moisture forming on cold surfaces and evaporators
- Frequent defrosting and increased equipment maintenance
- Ice formation on food products and conveyors
- Mildew and bacteria developing on products and in storage rooms
- Corrosion on metal structures and faster decay of building supports
- Deterioration of packaging, electronics, and electrical systems
- Reduced shelf life and compromised food quality
Our desiccant dehumidifiers prevent all these issues by maintaining stable humidity and air quality—even at low temperatures. Learn more about dry room solutions for critical storage spaces.
Best Practices: Installation Options
Two common freezer setups:
- Freezers without airlock chambers: Moisture must be controlled at the entry/exit points of tunnel or spiral conveyors to minimize water vapor entry.
- Freezers with airlock chambers: Air is dried before it enters the freezer, keeping humidity low and reducing frost buildup and product spoilage.

How Desiccant Dehumidifiers Work
Process air passes through a special silica gel rotor where water molecules are adsorbed. The rotor is regenerated by a second preheated airstream (90-140°C), and the collected moisture is exhausted as warm, moist air—keeping your freezers and storage spaces dry.
