Increase Production, Quality, and Profitability in Meat Processing and Sausage Drying
Do you want to eliminate condensation and microbial growth while increasing throughput and product quality? The key to more profitable meat processing and sausage drying is Munters desiccant dehumidifiers.The Benefits of Munters Desiccant Dehumidifiers
They Key to More Profitable Sausage and Cured Meats
Drying, curing, and smoking meats presents unique challenges for meat producers, and one of the biggest is humidity. Uncontrolled moisture can compromise product quality, slow production, and have a major impact on your bottom line.
Desiccant dehumidification can provide precise humidity control and a strong boost to your bottom line. Dehumidification provides a controlled and efficient drying process, which means lower utility costs, shorter drying times, and higher throughput. It also eliminates mold during drying cycles, increasing food safety and cutting the need for manual mold removal.

Meat processing, drying, and curing facilities are required by USDA regulations to ensure no condensation forms in production and non-production areas. But due to large amounts of water used for sanitation in these cold environments, condensation control is a major challenge.
The traditional solution is to use plastic sheets to redirect water, and “wipe down” crews to manually dry condensation. But this is extremely time-consuming and labor intensive.
Desiccant dehumidification can eliminate condensation, and the need for wipe downs by pulling moisture directly out of the air. Dehumidification protects product, increases throughput, improves working condition, and inhibits microbial growth.
Tyson Foods Finds Success with Munters Dehumidifiers
Two hundred thousand birds are processed every day at Tyson’s Nashville, Arkansas plant. Production staff at the plant were spending a significant amount of time removing condensation that was forming on overhead pipes and ceilings in the evisceration area near the bird chiller.
To solve the problem, Munters installed an ICA desiccant dehumidification system. Condensation began to disappear within hours of starting the Munters system.
“Since installing the dehumidification equipment, we have not had to hang plastic or have the usual two people per shift to control condensation. We don´t need to dry the ceilings in the morning following sanitation“
-Mike Hanson, Complex Manager at Tyson Foods.
