## [Ventilation in the Food Industry](/en-GB/solutions/ventilation-food-industry) ![solution food production](/sites/default/files/entityone_paragraphs/images/SOLUTION_Intro_468x468_4.png) ## Work comfort and contamination control In the Food & Beverage industry, monitoring the performance of the ventilation system is critical. Responsible for eliminating contaminants (odours, vapours, particles, gases, etc.), it is also the main defence against contaminants coming from outside. To ensure proper food production, processing and storage conditions, monitoring the correct operation of an aeraulic system in a food processing environment involves continuous tracking of pressure, temperature, humidity, air speed and flow parameters using robust, reliable instruments. ## Parameters to be monitored - **Temperature** - **Airflow / Velocity** - **Hygrometry** - **Pressure** Continuous Monitoring (Ventilation System) ## Continuous Monitoring (Ventilation System) Preventing bacteria and mould growth protects both products and staff. So you need the right instruments to ensure that a constant air flow is maintained to renew the air in the various climate controlled areas (CCAs). Installed directly on the ventilation systems of food processing facilities, our humidity, temperature, flow rate and pressure sensor-transmitters measure, display, transmit and alert the technical departments that are responsible for securing production using reliable measurements.

At a selected pressure the switch activates an electrical contact and stops the machine on which it is wired. Kimo’s PST is used to control pressure. ![Kimo Class 320 CTA](/sites/default/files/styles/max_1300x1300/public/images/SOLUTION_Produits01-Mesure-permanente_699x393_1.png?itok=QkODZOvp) Continuous Monitoring (Controlled Areas) ## Continuous Monitoring (Controlled Areas) Additional protection is provided by adjusting the mixing ratio through the correct balancing of air flows. It ensures that there are sufficient pressure differences to avoid contamination (particles, bacteria or pollutants) between the different CCAs in the plant. In climate-controlled rooms, the CPE 320 flush-mounted sensor is an ideal measurement tool, with its stainless steel front panel and high accuracy (±0.3 Pa). It can be fitted with flush-mounted temperature and humidity sensors, also in stainless steel.

With its numerous modular probes, the AMI 310 is the perfect portable device for checking all air parameters on-site during a spot inspection. Note that air pollutants on factory sites can come from both internal industrial processes and the outside environment. Air filtration is essential to protect the interior of the site, but also to prevent particles from being released into the outside air.
