Regulating Humidity

Humidity is a real problem in coolers.  Too little humidity leaves your perishables dry and shrunken.  High levels of moisture destroy your perishable foodstuffs by breaking down cellular integrity.  When moisture ices on cooling coils, the work less efficiently, resulting in higher temperatures and longer defrosting cycles.  Moisture can also create slippery and unsafe conditions as well as create a breeding ground for bacteria.  All this means more energy usage and more rapid spoiling of your food items.   FiltaCool can help regulate the humidity in your walk in coolers, making them more efficient and increasing the lifetime of your perishable goods.

Temperature

Allowing temperatures to get too high in your cooler accelerates bacterial growth which increases the rate of food spoilage.  Temperatures too low can freeze and damage your products, leaving them unusable and increasing your profit losses.  Maintaining the optimal temperature (between 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit) can be difficult with inefficient coolers.  FiltaCool can help improve cooler function so that your cold storage unit can more easily maintain ideal temperatures.

Odor Control

Odors are easily transmitted between perishables stored together.  No one wants their produce to smell like poultry.  Your customers certainly don’t want it.  Excessive odor can also make coolers unpleasant for employees and suppliers.  With FiltaCool, noisome smells can be reduced, leaving your cooler and perishables smelling cleaner and fresher.

Gases and Bacteria

The natural processes that break down foods can increase when contained to an enclosed space.  Factors such as bacteria, oxidation, Ethylene gases and Pectin gases can accelerate food spoilage.  While these processes are naturally occurring and cannot be entirely eliminated, they can be greatly reduced.  FiltaCool filters can help control the level of gases in your cooler and create a less active breeding ground for bacteria.
