Have a look at our latest desiccant dehumidifier installation for our Seed Storage client, Royal Seed in Nairobi. The DST East Africa team installed an RL-60 LR unit that will maintain optimal conditions ranging between 30%-38% RH for their product.
Maintaining optimal conditions is essential during seed storage, as it prolongs the seed life, prevents seed damage and consequent loss of the investment. A major problem during storage is high relative humidity, which leads to the seed regaining moisture and thus, germinating or promoting fungal growth on the seed. To prevent this problem, dehumidifiers are used. Desiccant dehumidifiers are able to achieve the low relative humidity required for seed storage, and maintain these optimal humidity irrespective of the prevailing weather conditions.
