Learn how desiccant dehumidifiers optimize sugar production, prevent clumping and mold, and ensure long-term storage quality. Vision Air Conditioning delivers advanced solutions for sugar factories in Canada and the USA.
The best way to solve humidity problems in sugar production
Maintaining optimal humidity during sugar production and storage is essential for product quality, equipment longevity, and operational efficiency. Excess moisture creates major challenges for sugar factories across North America.
- Sintering and caramelization during processing
- Clumping and sticking during transport and packaging
- Condensation on storage facility walls and roofs
- Mildew and bacterial growth in production/storage areas
- Emergency stops and downtime of production lines
- Corrosion on metal and structural components
- Electronic and electrical failures
- Accelerated deterioration of building structures
Optimal humidity settings for sugar production
During production, the recommended relative humidity is 30%–50%. For storage, 50% RH at 24°C helps preserve granulated and lump sugar integrity. Learn more about our food industry humidity control solutions.
Quality risks at every stage
- Granulated sugar: conveyor transport, drying, cooling, storage
- Lump sugar: conveyor transport, pressing, brick drying, pre-packing, storage
Excess humidity at any stage threatens quality. Find solutions with our industrial desiccant dehumidifiers designed for sugar plants.

How desiccant dehumidifiers work
Process air passes through a silica gel rotor, which adsorbs water molecules. A separate preheated air stream (90-140°C) regenerates the rotor, expelling moisture as warm, moist air. This technology is highly effective in both refrigerated and ambient temperature environments.
