Food Processing
Clean air is of major importance in food processing and food prep areas. Dynamic Air Cleaners remove dangerous airborne particles that other air cleaning systems miss…including bacteria, allergens, fine dust, odors and VOCs…without producing any harmful ozone.
Dynamic Air Cleaners can extend shelf life and reduce scrap by capturing airborne impurities.
And studies show that 92% of the cost of filtration is something other than the media, including energy (fan horsepower to push the air through the filter), labor to change the media and costs of disposal. Dynamic Air Cleaners can have a significant impact on reducing these costs as compared to bag and cartridge filters. Dynamic V-bank air cleaners can last up to 7 times longer than comparable cartridge filters and can cut down the mid-life static pressure by as much as 1.5” which saves significantly on the horsepower required for specific air handler.
With the addition of a Dynamic Sterile Sweep™ Germicidal System, any bank of Dynamic Air Cleaners can not only capture airborne pathogens, but the pathogens can be deactivated, thereby sterilizing the air where food is being prepared and packaged.
The net savings on using Dynamic Air Cleaners can often generate a return on investment of 3 to 5 years.
A series of articles in the Journal of Food Science in 2002 concluded that the shelf life of meat and poultry could be extended dramatically with polarized-media air cleaners:
