Make quality candy
Ensure the highest quality confectionery products with Munters dehumidification solutions. Keep your hard candies, soft jellies, and chocolates in perfect shape and texture by controlling the climate during production. Don't let unsuitable humidity levels turn your soft sweets hard or your crispy coatings soft. With dehumidification from Munters, the relative humidity will be kept at a low, constant level, and the sweets will stay sweet.
Ensure drying, cooling, and coating
To produce high-quality confectionery, precise climate control of the process is critical. Drying, cooling, and coating processes depend on air humidity levels. Munters dehumidification solutions will secure a low and controlled relative humidity level indoors, no matter the weather conditions outdoors.
Choose dehumidification, not heating
You would assume that humidity can be managed with heating, but that’s not the case. Heat has no impact on relative humidity. And high temperatures can affect product quality – gels, chocolates and gums can melt. But dehumidification evaporates water from the air, without product sticking. Now that condensation is eliminated drying can take place at low temperatures, which improves product quality and saves energy. In fact, dehumidification can be 50% more energy efficient than heating.
No mold or caking during production
Many candy ingredients are powdered, for example milk, cream, colors, and flavors. Their raw materials can be hygroscopic, which means there is a risk for powder clogging, during storage, and microorganism growth, if silos and storage spaces are not totally dry. By dehumidifying the air, powders can keep their shape and characteristics in silos and in powder-handling production lines.
Improve product quality and shelf life
Humidity control ensures product quality is maintained and can help extend the shelf life of finished products. Dehumidification helps prevent sticking in production and wrapping and packaging, as well as stopping chocolate bloom, enhancing product quality, appearance, and salability.
Dehumidification for confectionery environments
It’s important to note that climate control is crucial throughout every stage of the production process. To fully benefit from a dehumidification solution, each production process needs to be considered and addressed.
