A hygienic HVAC case using FlowSox permeable fabric and WideFlow to address flour dust and condensation
Challenges
  • Addressing condensation and mold on imported fabric ducts
  • Preventing small discharge holes from clogging with flour dust
  • Creating hygienic HVAC suited to a food-processing environment

The Challenge

Condensation and mold on the existing imported fabric ducts required an HVAC upgrade suited to food-factory hygiene requirements.

Surface condensation and mold

Condensation on the imported duct surfaces was accompanied by mold. In food factories, these issues can create hygiene risks rather than merely equipment problems, so a fundamental improvement was needed.

Flour dust clogging the outlets

Doughnut production generates airborne flour dust. The existing MicroFlow system used small holes that could clog, destabilizing air discharge.

Fabric and airflow model unsuited to the site

Non-permeable fabric combined with MicroFlow was unsuitable for an environment with high flour dust levels. Blocked holes caused uneven surface airflow and increased the likelihood of recurring condensation and contamination.

Our Solution

We redesigned the system using FlowSox permeable fabric and WideFlow to reduce surface condensation and outlet clogging.

Permeable fabric to reduce condensation

FlowSox permeable fabric creates a small airflow through the duct surface, reducing stagnant cold air at the surface and conditions that promote condensation.

WideFlow air distribution

Considering the flour dust, we selected WideFlow with a lower clogging risk rather than MicroFlow with small outlets. This improved discharge stability and maintenance.

Antibacterial fabric suited to food-factory hygiene

The antibacterial fabric design considered condensation, mold and dust together. The solution addressed the site’s contamination factors and airflow model rather than simply replacing the ducts.

Results

FlowSox reduced the risks of surface condensation and mold while creating an HVAC system suited to a flour-dust environment.

Reduced condensation and mold risks

Permeable fabric created airflow over the duct surface and improved the conditions that had caused repeated condensation, helping reduce mold risk.

Lower outlet-clogging risk

WideFlow avoided the small-outlet structure prone to flour-dust blockage, supporting stable air supply over time.

Hygienic HVAC for food processing

The fabric duct solution addressed condensation, mold and dust together, reducing HVAC-related hygiene risks and providing stable air distribution suited to food production.
