Food additives play an important role in preserving the freshness, safety, taste, appearance and texture of processed foods. Food additives are added for particular purposes, whether to ensure food safety, or to maintain food quality during the shelf-life of a product. For example, antioxidants prevent fats and oils from becoming rancid, while preservatives prevent or reduce the growth of microbes (e.g. mould on bread). Emulsifiers are used for instance in improving the texture of mayonnaise, or stopping salad dressings from separating into oil and water.

So why is factory cooling so important for food production industries?

Dust Control

Dust control is vital within factories and, in particular, food factory cooling control. It serves five main purposes:

• To protect the workers and operators from inhaling particles of dust

• To prevent any dust spreading to process areas and/or causing cross contamination

• To prevent a gathering of dust which may aid in the growth of micro-organisms

• To prevent environmental pollution

• To prevent explosion or chemical reaction

With the correct air control, you can maintain the control of dust through filters. A mere particle of dust can easily spread airborne contamination, so this should not be overlooked. When choosing your factory cooling units, you should discuss filtering and dust control with the supplier.

Dehumidification and Temperature

All air which encounters food should be controlled, especially when it comes to factors of humidity.

The relative humidity of an area is the percentage of pressure of water vapour present to the saturation pressure at the air temperature. This is expressed as a ratio and is measured in many ways.

Humidity is a big issue in food production industries and food factories. The issues are generally caused by too much water in the air rather than too little. Failure to control the excess humidity in the air can result in water condensing around unwanted areas and can also interrupt the quality and temperature of your products.

Air-conditioning in textile mills plays a performance based system and is linked to quality and productivity of the textile production machines which are now highly sophisticated and sensitive. Air-conditioning has to be prioritized from the energy consumption point of view as the textile industry has been declared a highly intensive industry by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) of the Ministry of Power, India. Air-conditioning when done complete with refrigerant chillers can achieve the required temperature and humidity levels all round the year irrespective of ambient conditions. Air-conditioning systems must have equipment for filtration of air, motion of air, temperature control and humidity control. The filter media performance has direct bearing on the airflow of the fan and overall system resistance. The filter media commonly used are polyurethane foam type, acrylic/synthetic non-woven type for rotary and nylon mesh/pleat type for static filters.

All textiles are hygroscopic. That is, they absorb or release moisture depending on the relative humidity of the surrounding air. If the atmosphere is drier than the textile’s equilibrium relative humidity then the textile will give up its moisture to the air. If the air is very humid then the textile’s moisture content will increase. This moisture loss and gain occurs at every stage from the initial processing of the fibres through to final garment manufacturing, distribution and use by the consumer.

This change in moisture content has a direct impact on the properties of textiles, such as tensile strength, elasticity, fibre diameter and friction. A drop in the equilibrium relative humidity of a textile may cause it to be weaker, thinner, less elastic and therefore more brittle. It will also have more imperfections. By maintaining the air humidity whilst processing the fibres, this loss in moisture to the atmosphere is minimised.

Moisture loss during processing cannot be totally eliminated as the act of processing will increase the temperature of the material, which will cause it to become drier. However, by increasing the humidity of the air surrounding the textile directly after processing, the material experiences “regain”. Moisture is reabsorbed by the textile, thus improving the quality and performance of the fabric.
