Agriculture

Food loss in supply chains is a large, yet unnecessary problem. Part of the waste is due to moisture damage – but moisture damage can easily be avoided. Absortech offers effective moisture damage prevention solutions. A good process and minor investments in desiccants leads to cost reductions due to reduced scrapping, and contributes to a sustainable food industry.

  • Often farming and handling take place in high temperature and high relative humidity climate zones. Therefore, moisture may be brought into the packaging, and into the container.
  • In addition, agricultural products are mostly hygroscopic, meaning they initially absorb moisture that later may be released during shipping.

Our solutions

  • It is essential to make sure unnecessary moisture is not added during packing and loading. This is preferably achieved by reviewing packing/loading using our POMM process.
  • Install the correct number of desiccants from the AbsorRange™ container desiccants family.
  • AbsorRange are high-performing products, with many CO2-neutral.
