Moisture Management
One of the biggest problems in cold storage is the issue of humidity regulation. Too little moisture leaves goods shriveled and dried. Excessive humidity destroy compromises the cellular integrity of your foodstuffs, causing them to deteriorate more rapidly. Furthermore, when moisture condenses and freezes on cooling coils it causes them to operate less efficiently. This results in higher temperatures and extended defrosting cycles.
Moisture can also create hazardous and unhealthy conditions for staff and supply personnel. Collected pools are also breeding grounds for dangerous and destructive bacteria. FiltaCool filters regulate the humidity in your walk refrigeration units. Your coolers will run more efficient and your perishable goods will last longer.
Optimizing Temperatures
Fluctuating temperatures can also present a problem in refrigeration. Excessively low temperature can damage your products at the cellular level, leaving them mushy and unusable. High temperatures in your cooler accelerate the growth of bacteria that destroys your produce and meat products. The optimal temperature range for commercial cooling falls between 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit. Achieving this can be difficult with inefficient coolers. FiltaCool improves cooler performance so that your refrigeration unit can operate at ideal temperatures while using less energy.
Eliminating Odors
When food items are stored in close quarters with more pungent items, they can begin to absorb odors. Certainly no one wants their produce to smell like fish, nor will your customers particularly care to eat it. Unpleasant odors can accumulate over time and create an disagreeable environment for your staff, as well. With FiltaCool, noxious odors can be eliminated, leaving your cool smelling fresh and preserving the quality of your foodstuffs.
Gases and Bacteria
Factors such as bacteria, oxidation, Ethylene gases and Pectin gases can accelerate food spoilage. While these processes are occur naturally and cannot be prevented, they harmful effects of accumulation in confined coolers can be reduced. FiltaCool filters control the level of gases in your cooler and help create a less active breeding ground for bacteria.
Energy and Maintenance
As with all Filta services, FiltaCool offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution to cooler maintenance and regulation. Because your cooler will run more efficiently, they will suffer less wear and tear and will use less energy. Users report as much as a 10 percent reduction in the energy required to operate their cools when using FiltaCool filters. These same businesses also report a 33%-44% increase in the life of their equipment.
FiltaCool offers businesses a whole new way to “go green” and save money. With FiltaCool filters your business will use less energy, reduce waste due to spoilage, and extend the life of your coolers.
