  • Lasik Operation Theatres
  • Patient acclimatization area
  • Optical equipment protection

Lasik operation theatres need portable dehumidifiers to have a consistent and accurate RH levels to prevent moisture from settling on the high power lenses of laser machines. Optical equipment used by Ophthalmologists are made of fine & precise lenses – these lenses grow fungus, spots unless the same is placed in low / controlled humidity. A portable dehumidifier is the most practical method to maintain controlled humidity – thus providing a layer of safety for all your valuable equipment and an effective way of protecting it from moisture damage.

Dehumidifiers for Food Industry

Food production, processing, packaging and storage facilities require good hygiene — controlled and consistent.

Excess humidity causes bacterial growth, condensation on cold products, damaging packaging and spoiling the product resulting in poor consumer experience.

Refrigerant dehumidifiers are the most efficacious and cost-effective way to reduce levels of moisture in the air and maintain desired humidity level to optimize the quality of food products.

Keeping the production, processing and storage facility clean also means keeping humidity regulated as it improves hygiene. Hygiene is critical ‎in all areas of food production and processing. To meet these standards it has become extremely important to observe stringent humidity and temperature controls right from production, processing and storage areas to the packaging rooms of food products.

.

Problems Faced

Hygroscopic Powders

In production and packaging units of hygroscopic powders like pre mixes of cocoa, tea, soup absorb humidity easily and clump together, technically called agglomeration; this can lead to blockages in the processing equipment & bacteria formation in the final product.

Chocolates

Cocoa powder tends to absorb moisture easily and can hamper the quality of the chocolate. Those chocolates stored in uncontrolled RH areas can attract bacteria and worms thus resulting in large scale loss of reputation & damages.

Bacterial contamination

Several types of bacterial growth can occur in food, since they are a high nutrient media for bacteria such as E.coli or Streptococcus (commonly found harmful bacteria).

Crispy snacks

Ready to eat snacks, breakfast cereals, are generally crisp and need to be maintained in low RH atmosphere – else they tend to absorb moisture and lose their crispiness and become unappetizing , resulting in poor consumer experience.

Bad odour

High humidity leads to fungal growth which releases a musty odour, which can transfer to food products. Controlled humidity can help maintain quality products round the year without worries about sensory deterioration.

Dehumidifiers for Chocolates, Sweets and Confectioneries

Sugar a main ingredient in sweets, mithais, chocolates, candies tends to get sticky in a high humidity environment.

This results in:

  • Poor product quality, shorter shelf life and poor consumer experience
  • Storage, packaging and product challenges
  • Clumping of powder resulting in production delays and rising operating cost
  • Hygiene conditions will be compromised
  • CONTROLLED HUMIDITY levels are very important to enhance production, improve hygiene and meet the quality standards in each step right from production to packaging and storing of the items.

HUMIDITY CHALLENGES IN CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTION

India is hot and in some parts humid. Producing confectionary which is good and consistent in quality is critical to meet standards for a good consumer experience. The ingredients and the end products in confectionery manufacturing are easily effected by airborne moisture. Most of the ingredients are hygroscopic, and excess humidity impacts on just about every stage of confectionery production, packaging and storage.

A very common problem of moisture includes blooming in chocolates. "Blooming" happens when fat and sugar crystals rise to surface of the chocolate if the chocolate absorbs moisture during packaging.

Humidity also makes ingredients form lumps or lose their crispness like in nuts. This results in production delays, product rejection and more critically bacterial growth resulting in hygiene compromise.

Confectionery products require to maintain ranged relative humidity (and temperatures), and it’s very hard to achieve and maintain these by ventilation with uncontrolled air from outside.

PREVENTIVE ACTION – GETTING RID OF THE PROBLEM

Origin Dehumidifiers provide energy-efficient portable dehumidifier range which is suitable for production, processing, storage and packaging areas to ensure your sweets are consistently good and quality standards are met. Our dehumidifiers ensure ideal humidity conditions are maintained throughout the process ensuring hygienic conditions and a seamless production.

Dehumidifiers for Spices and Powders

Spices are the key ingredients to any food recipe, they are used for adding flavor and for preserving food. Producing fine quality spices involve different stages like drying, grinding, quality testing, packaging and storing. Spices are dried and powdered and as they are highly hygroscopic in nature, they tend to absorb moisture very quickly and become sticky. Moisture absorption in spices lead to microbial growth, causes them to form clumps, loose flavor and weight and even develop mold overtime which not only has an impact on quality but also doesn't match the quality standards and are not suitable for consumption.

"Humidity has to be regulated effectively to ensure operational security and stability of equipments.
Dehumidifiers are a reliable solution that maintain the said humidity levels at all times which prevents unexpected downtime, system and component failures thus saving on unplanned costs on repairs and replacements."

Maintaining relative humidity between 45 % - 55 % is recommended for optimal and consistent performance in server rooms and data centres.

Dehumidifiers for Electronics Manufacturing.

CIRCUIT BOARDS

Electronic circuit boards are susceptible to high levels of moisture.

  • Electronic circuit boards are susceptible to high levels of moisture.
  • Short circuits or operational glitches in electronics
  • Product failure, higher warranty claims and poor customer experience

HOW DOES HUMIDITY IMPACT ELECTRONICS

When the relative humidity is at 60%, corrosion is active. As the electronic circuit boards operate with very small voltage, any minute corrosion can increase the electric resistance of the equipment, leading to operational glitches to product failures. Humidity condenses on electronics especially when there is a sudden drop or increase in temperature, leading to electronic short circuits and corrosion.

If the humidity is not checked in time at the storage or manufacturing point, electronics can fail at the end user point leading to product failure, poor brand experience and high cost of replacement and repairs.

AVOIDING CORROSION AND ELECTRONIC FAILURES DUE TO HUMIDITY

Physics states that if you maintain humidity at and lower than 45% and if the quality of air is clean, its impossible for corrosion to take place.

Origin dehumidifiers have been used in storage and production areas to enhance the reliability of the electronic components and to protecting sensitive electronics from excess and varying humidity levels. Our portable dehumidifiers maintain ideal and consistent humidity levels and prevent corrosion, condensation and electronic circuit failures. Origin dehumidifiers are portable and robust and have proven to be an ideal solution in maintaining a controlled humidity environment to protect electronics from moisture damage.

.

Problems Faced

Material Damage

Material stored in warehouses, storage area or packaging areas without RH control are susceptible to fungal growth, structural damage, discoloration or separation thus impacting the finished product quality. In order to prevent such damage to the product, it is recommended to maintain optimum humidity round the clock.

Contamination

Food and medicines in the storage area are at a risk of contamination since bacteria breeds in high humid areas, and uncontrolled humidity poses a major health hazard to consumers.‎

Discoloration

Paper & books tend to lose their original color and structure in high humidity resulting in wastage or poor quality. Storage areas need automated dehumidification system which runs 24/7 with humidity control systems to regulate the humidity in storage areas.

Structural damage

In high humid areas, most materials either adsorb or absorb moisture from atmosphere thus softening the structural matrix of stored products in the warehouse or the storage area; this can have wide ranging impact – from loss of strength to irreversible damage.

Separation

In high humid areas currency notes, foam material, plastic sheets tend to stick to each other, making separation difficult leading to product wastage.

Keeping a clean food production and storage facilities is not enough to keep consumables safe and increase their shelf lives. Food safety and quality is given the top priority in production areas.

To meet these standards it has become extremely important to observe stringent humidity and temperature controls right from production, processing and storage areas to the packaging rooms of the materials.

Dehumidifiers for Diamond Laser Machines

Laser machine consists of an optic screen on which the laser beams are bombarded. All these laser beams are focused on a single target by the optic screen. Diamond is placed on this target where it is cut and transformed in to glittering diamond. These laser machines are operated in air-conditioning areas and are maintained in the temperature range between 22-24˚c for optimum use.

PROBLEMS

In the non-working hours, when the air-conditioners are switched off, room temperature rises due to which condensation is experienced on all the possible surfaces including OPTIC SCREENS of laser machines. If this condensation on optic screen is not taken care of, it tends to leave moisture spots on the screen, deteriorating its quality. When laser beams passes over these spots on optic screen, it develops permanent spots on the screen. These laser beams passing through the screen are not at its optimal performance level. Consequently diamond cut is also affected.

ORIGIN'S SOLUTION

Problems Faced

Testing standards

Research and Development laboratories, commonly known as R&D lab needs to comply with testing standards such as ISO/IS/NABL/EU/ASHRAE and compliance requires maintaining humidity levels between 40 to 60% RH in the lab.

Condensation inside equipment

Most Research and Development equipments are placed inside the lab with controlled temperature and humidity. Humidity tends to damage equipments such as FTIR, ICP, etc. and any damage to powerhouse / crucial electronic sensors inside the equipment can cost heavily in addition to downtime.

Product Testing labs

Product development of cosmetics is based on consumer research & studies of human reception based on several months of research. During this stage of the research and development of the products, it is critical to maintain the relative humidity & temperature to ensure accurate results.

Laser studies

Many disciplines of science including Opto-electronics, Physics & Material Sciences study lasers using optical lenses. During these experiments, high moisture atmosphere in the lab can reduce the diffraction clarity & result in erroneous experiments. A dehumidifier maintains the right humidity in the research and development lab to ensure consistent performance of optical equipments.

Dehumidifiers for Indoor Swimming Pools

Recreational Spaces are in great demand given the unabated urbanization that has led to shortage in quality spaces to unwind and relax.

Pool areas – especially indoor swimming pools run a high risk of having accumulated moisture – This moisture if not removed will slowly corrode & eat into your valuable adjoining the pool area and cause widespread water damage. Dehumidifiers prevent condensation on walls and ceilings, they also prevent black spots and fungal growth on wall and ceiling surface all of which is very common in pool areas due to high humidity levels. Portable dehumidifiers sense and suck out this excess moisture ensuring a healthy and dry environment in the indoor pool areas.

Dehumidifiers for Gyms, Dance Studios and Yoga Centers

Exercising is a major part of our lives these days and plays a very important role in it too. High humidity levels in fitness centers is a cause of concern. Moisture build up from sweat during workouts is a continuous contributing factor to adding the humidity in the room. This moisture also seeps into workout mats. High humidity levels in the room cause a stuffy and uncomfortable environment, also leads to mold and mildew build up, bacterial growth and corrodes equipment's and drastically reduces the life of fitness equipment's.

Dehumidifiers maintain ideal and consistent humidity levels. Dehumidifiers effectively perform and function to eliminate condensation, prevent mold, bacterial growth and bad odor. Dehumidifiers protect fitness equipment’s from moisture damage too.

Dehumidifiers provide a comfortable indoor setting which enhances the overall experience in the facility ensuring happy clients and healthy environment.

Dehumidifiers for Spa and Salons

Spa's and beauty salons try to recreate a relaxing atmosphere for its guests. There is a high level of activity in spa’s and beauty salons and varying people density causes the humidity in these areas to fluctuate very widely.

In various treatments, guests are exposed to high humidity as part of therapy , treatments also use steam to treat skin and body. Steam generates high humidity in enclosed spaces which gets trapped and causes airborne allergens, damp interiors and musty odor which has a direct impact in the overall guest experience. Dehumidifiers protect the interiors from dampness, dehumidifiers also prevent fungal growth and minimize the growth of airborne bacteria. Portable dehumidifiers ensure controlled moisture levels throughout which restrict musty odor from occurring and provide a hygienic indoor space which enhances the overall guest experience and provides a fresh and dry interior which ensure true comfort for the guests.
