Hurll Nu-Way Phoenix Hygienic Air Handlers for food processing applications

Hurll Nu-Way has expanded its HVAC range with the Phoenix Hygienic Air Handlers, which are designed for critical process applications such as food processing facilities, including meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables, juice, nuts, dairy, eggs and frozen and prepared food.

Used in food processing plants, hygienic air handlers supply fresh, filtered, humidified and cooled or temperature-controlled air to pressurise food processing rooms. Room pressurisation can inhibit airborne contaminants from entering the processing space from other areas. Controlling humidity is crucial to reducing free moisture and condensation, which fosters the growth and spread of bacteria.

Roof- or indoor-mounted hygienic handlers are used instead of air cooling units that are mounted inside the processing rooms. By eliminating in-room equipment and mounting hygienic air units outside the processing room, washing and disinfecting the process rooms is faster and easier with fewer growth surfaces for bacteria.

The air handlers are suitable for a range of applications, including: meat processing; dairy processing; fruit, vegetable and nut processing; and ready-to-eat and frozen food production.
