Guide to Reducing Primary Chilling Evaporation

10-point guide to reducing primary chilling weight losses with humidification

Evaporative weight losses from carcasses during primary chilling can account for between 1.5-3% of total product weight. This has a significant impact on product yield and the profitability of an abattoir operation.

Cold store humidity has been widely accepted as having a great impact on evaporative losses but managing humidity levels in such a cold environment is complex, especially given EU directives on spray chilling.

As a global leader in humidification technology and expertise, Condair has developed a humidification strategy that successfully manages the air humidity within a primary chilling area. By maintaining a high air humidity with this system, evaporative losses can be reduced to 1%.

This document presents an introductory 10-point guide for abattoir managers on how to correctly humidify a primary chilling operation. Learn how to hygienically humidify a cold store without wetting or condensation on the carcasses. Discover the best way to control the humidifier's output, locate the humidifier nozzles and sensors, and what hygiene measures must be taken.
