JS Humidifiers JetSpray humidifier

The JetSpray humidifier from JS Humidifiers is designed for use in abattoir chill down areas to reduce carcass moisture loss after slaughter.

When a carcass enters the chill store, the cold dry air can strip moisture from its exposed surfaces, reducing moisture by 2.5%. By maintaining a high humidity in the chill store with a JetSpray humidifier during the initial cooling, moisture loss from the carcass is inhibited and can be reduced to less than 1%, the company claims.

The humidifier consists of rows of precision-engineered nozzles that combine compressed air and water to produce a spray that has a droplet size of 7.5 microns. The nozzle line is mounted directly in front of the evaporator coils of the refrigeration system and introduces moisture to the airstream as it enters the chill store.

The fine spray ensures the moisture is absorbed by the atmosphere, preventing wetting inside the room. The flow of compressed air also reportedly avoids the possibility of drips. Tiny needles inside the nozzles act as a self-cleaning mechanism and prevent blockages, reducing maintenance.

The humidifier’s hygienic design makes it suitable for use in food processing facilities. A reverse osmosis water filter removes all minerals from the supply water before it is treated with ultraviolet sterilisation to kill any remaining microorganisms. In addition, the system regularly runs purge and flush cycles to ensure water cannot stagnate in the humidifier.
