Storage Industry

The main reasons why large warehouses need to use dehumidifiers are as follows:

Protect stored items

Prevent items from getting damp and deteriorating: Many items are prone to absorbing moisture in a humid environment, resulting in reduced quality, deterioration and damage. For example, food will mold and rot after getting damp and cannot be sold; medicines will mold when damp, and their efficacy will decline or even change; electronic products may have short-circuit faults when damp,affecting their performance and service life; paper products will become soft when damp, their physical properties will decline, and cartons will lose their bearing capacity and cannot be handled and stacked.

Avoid rust and corrosion of items: For some metal products or items containing metal components, a high-humidity environment will accelerate their rust and corrosion processes, shorten their service life, and affect their performance and safety. For example, in the machinery industry, high-humidity air can cause premature failure of equipment components, oxidation and corrosion of metal materials, and weakening of the insulation strength of insulation materials, resulting in equipment damage and economic losses.

Maintain the stability of the warehouse environment

Control the humidity range: The indoor environmental humidity range required for general warehouses is 40% - 60%. Different stored items have different sensitivities to air temperature and humidity. 

Through dehumidifiers, the humidity in the warehouse can be precisely controlled within the appropriate range to meet the storage requirements of the items and reduce the impact of humidity changes on the items.

Reduce mold growth: A humid environment is prone to mold growth, which not only causes damage to the stored items but may also affect the air quality in the warehouse and pose a threat to the health of the staff. Dehumidifiers can reduce air humidity, inhibit the growth and reproduction of mold, and maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the warehouse environment.

Ensure the normal operation of warehouse facilities and equipment

Prevent damage to the building structure: Under a high-humidity environment for a long time, the building structures of the warehouse, such as walls, ceilings, floors, etc., are prone to getting damp, 

resulting in problems such as mold on the walls, peeling of coatings, and moisture on the ground, affecting the appearance and service life of the warehouse and may even cause potential safety hazards.

- **Extend the service life of equipment: Some equipment in the warehouse, such as shelves, forklifts, conveyors, etc., are also prone to rust and corrosion in a high-humidity environment, reducing their performance and service life. Using dehumidifiers can reduce the environmental humidity, reduce equipment damage and maintenance costs, and ensure the normal operation of warehouse equipment.

Meet special storage requirements

Meet high-precision storage requirements: The storage of some special items has extremely high requirements for environmental humidity, such as precision instruments, optical lenses, semiconductor chips, etc., which need to be stored in a very low-humidity environment to ensure that their accuracy and performance are not affected. Dehumidifiers can provide a stable and low-humidity storage environment for these high-precision items.

Improve work efficiency and safety

Improve the working environment: A humid warehouse environment can cause discomfort and affect the work efficiency and health of the staff. Using dehumidifiers can reduce air humidity, improve the working environment in the warehouse, and increase the comfort and enthusiasm of the staff.

Reduce safety risks: A high-humidity environment may cause the ground to be slippery, increasing the risk of staff slipping and getting injured. In addition, moist air may also affect the performance of electrical equipment and increase the probability of safety accidents such as short circuits and leakage. Controlling the humidity through dehumidifiers can reduce these safety risks and ensure safe production in the warehouse.
