Food Processing
Food processing plants are typically harsh environments with condensation from the sanitation process forming on equipment, floors, ceilings, and walls. Contamination from these moist, dripping areas is a critical concern when it comes to meat, poultry, and fish processing plants, and every business strives to avoid an FDA shutdown.
Often called barrel, turbo, hurricane, or air cannon fans, Patterson's high-velocity fans are known throughout the food industry for having the best performance and durability when it comes to air movement solutions. Rather than constantly replacing rusty or corroded fans, our customers are discovering the benefits of high-impact polypropylene and stainless steel spinnings.
Reduce Condensation
Food safety within a processing plant is a major concern, especially when moist conditions are involved, causing high bacteria growth. Trying to defy the natural cause of condensation in a cool, but sanitized meat area can be a headache, but with the use of high-velocity fans to maintain airflow, humidity levels can be reduced.
Improve Employee Comfort
Employees prefer comfortable working environments. Managing airflow safeguards workers from excess heat and humidity. Happy employees lead to better work production, so check out our line of workstation fans!
Blast Chiller/Food Cooling
Typically, food that comes out of an oven on a conveyor will need to be cooled rapidly before further processing or packaging. Raw meats will need to be quickly frozen in order to preserve their taste, color, and texture. The use of high-velocity fans in a chiller or flash-freezing room assists in distributing cold air evenly throughout a room and into those hard-to-reach places, such as pallet and storage racking systems.
