Elmazraa Abattoir Humidity Control
Back to all sucess stories
The Challenge
Elmazraa, Tunisia’s leading poultry producer, faced significant challenges in their meat preparation facilities:
High Ambient Humidity
With 200-300 workers in preparation areas, human respiration and transpiration significantly increased humidity levels
Temperature Control Issues
Constant door openings to warmer areas of the factory allowed hot, humid air to infiltrate controlled environments
Limited Product Shelf Life
Excessive moisture in the air accelerated bacterial growth, reducing product shelf life
Compliance Concerns
Meeting stringent ISO 22000 food safety standards required precise environmental control
Energy Inefficiency
Existing condensation-based dehumidification systems consumed excessive energy while delivering inadequate results
These challenges not only impacted operational efficiency and product quality but also threatened Elmazraa’s ability to maintain necessary food safety certifications.
Our Solution
Advanced Desiccant Dehumidification
BIZEYES implemented a comprehensive solution to replace the ineffective condensation-based systems:
