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.
Cooling and maintaining temperatures in workplaces is vital in many industries. However, in food production and storage this is perhaps even more important. Properly designed and installed air conditioning units for food factories can control airborne particulates and odours, minimising the risk of any contamination and keeping the products in the freshest form possible, all whilst abiding by legislation.
There are many factors which affect the air; volume of the space, capacity, number of workers, adjoining work areas, humidity and odour control, pressure and air quality required, what type of food you are storing and much more. 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.
Control Odours and Environmental Impact
When dealing with fresh food, including dairy, meat and even fresh fruit and vegetables, odours will occur, especially if you aren’t controlling the air properly. When it comes to meat and fish, you can’t avoid these odours, but you can decrease and control them, with a little help from factory cooling.
These strong odours can create a nuisance for people living or working in the area, with many of the complaints to food factories being related to these issues. Your cooling and air control system should :
- Prevent the emission of fumes or gases
- Prevent the emission of dust or odours
- Prevent the creation of noise or air pollution
If you control the air accurately and store your produce correctly, you will have already decreased the production of odours before the food product comes into your premises.
