More to shelf life than meets the eye

Although there is more to shelf life than meets the eye, as Filtrex Global, a leader in filtration and air hygiene management explains, poor ventilation and filtration standards allow the build-up of yeasts and mould which can cause premature deterioration of the product. This in turn can have massive waste issues for the manufacturer and the resale and end users.

Microorganisms floating about in the air are made up of yeasts, bacteria and moulds which on exposure to food products accelerates the deterioration of the product. Ventilation and filtration reduce the amount of moisture in the air, removing particles containing bacteria and other components by sterilising, collecting and retaining them. It is also important that ventilation and filtration equipment is maintained as the damp, moist or humid ventilation system can act as a breeding ground for mould.

Filtrex Global offer a free initial survey and evaluation of the filter and ventilation system to check the filtration standards (filter and filter sealing mechanisms), air change rates and all critical- positive pressure regime in areas that high-risk food is being processed in.
