Benefits
Maintaining ideal conditions in conveyor systems requires precise humidity control. Fluctuations can affect product quality and process reliability.
Prevents Adhesion
Avoids materials sticking to conveyor belts or rollers due to high humidity
Enhances Safety
Reduces the risk of slippage or malfunction caused by moisture on conveyor systems
Stable Quality
Keeps conditions stable for consistent product quality
Dehumidification for Conveyor Technology
Preventing Corrosion on Conveyor Systems
Iron does not rust in dry air. However, when moisture is present, oxygen in the air reacts with iron, forming iron hydroxides and oxides. These compounds accumulate on the surface as rust. Unlike aluminum, iron corrosion does not self-limit and will continue until the metal is significantly damaged.
Keeping Bulk Materials Pourable
High or fluctuating humidity can significantly reduce the flowability of bulk materials, especially powders and granules. In chemical and pharmaceutical production, pre-dehumidifying the air helps prevent sticking and lump formation during transport. Modern adsorption dryers ensure reliable material flow from silo to storage, maintain processing quality, and reduce cleaning requirements.
Preventing General Cargo from Adhering to Conveyor Belts
A consistent, smooth production flow is essential for process quality. Without adequate dehumidification, products may stick to conveyor belts or clump together, disrupting operations. Intelligent dehumidification solutions help food manufacturers maintain optimal process control.
Use Cases
Anti-Static and ESD Prevention
Low humidity increases static buildup because dry air acts as an insulator, making electrostatic discharge (ESD) more likely. Maintaining 40–60% relative humidity helps dissipate electrical charges and significantly reduces ESD risk.
Prevent Condensation and Mold
By combining a professional ventilation system with the Condair DA adsorption dryer, it is possible to achieve optimal results in preventing condensation and mold growth.
Humidification Solutions for Dust and Odor Reduction
Humidification systems provide an effective way to maintain required humidity limits, improve process flow, and protect employee health in many industries that generate significant dust emissions.

Tuna fish canning factory
Condair's JetSpray humidifier is helping refrigeration equipment specialists ICS Cool Energy increase profits at a leading worldwide brand of canned fish by $1 million per year. By maintaining a high humidity around the fish after steaming, evaporative weight loss from the cooked fish has been reduced from approximately 5% to 0.67%. The humidification system is preventing up to 8.5 tonnes of product from simply evaporating each day between cooking and canning.After steaming, the fish needs to be rapidly cooled in order to be processed and canned but can lose up to 20% of its moisture in the process, impacting significantly on its weight. As the factory processes up to 200 tonnes of fish each day, this severely reduced the yield on its product. ICS Cool Energy was tasked by its long standing client to find a more cost effective replacement to its existing cool room sprinkler system, which was proving inefficient in terms of energy and water usage.
