Ice Build Up In a Blast Freezer
Queensland Meat Production Facility
See the Benefits of Desiccant Dehumidification Technology
Humidity infiltration in a blast freezer leads to moisture in the air, which causes fog, condensation, and ice build-up. Any of these issues can lead to expensive and unproductive interruptions from product degradation to safety concerns to time delays.
Water pooling on the floors and fog causing visibility issues, is a major safety concern. The need to defrost evaporators and remove ice from conveyors, floors and walls, is timely and costly. And many of our clients also complain that bar code scanners do not work on boxes covered in ice.
The images below show a blast freezer within a meat production facility before an industrial desiccant dehumidifier is installed. Then see images one week after dehumidifier installation. The results speak for themselves.

Why Ice Build-Up Occurs in Blast Freezers
A blast freezer, or any process freezer will always struggle with moisture related issues. Moisture can infiltrate through the introduction of warm product, excessive door openings, or poorly sealed equipment.
Each time you open the freezer door the cold air will flow out and warm air will find its way in. Even with ante chambers and strip curtains, these issues can occur. This humidity in the air is the most common cause of frost, condensation and ice build up.
