Keeping Cold Storage Ice And Moisture Free At HB Meats

HB Meats located in Irving, Texas, specializes in processing high end meats for various restaurant chains in the Dallas area. Started in 1990 with two employees, HB Meats has grown to 36 employees and processes over 2.5 million pounds of product per year.

The main cold storage freezer is maintained at -20°F and is used to freeze and store product prior to shipping. The door to the storage freezer is located directly off of the processing area which is maintained at 50°F. Continuous wash downs in the process area raise humidity levels. Product is continuously being moved from the processing area into the storage freezer. Every time the door to the freezer opened, high humidity air entered the freezer and would condense and freeze on the freezer door, floor, wall and ceiling creating both practical and safety problems.
