Dry misting in retail
In the average store, the air is too dry for fresh produce. Dry misting raises the humidity with an ultra-fine mist. As a result, fruit, vegetables, fish and meat lose less weight and stay good for longer.

How it works
The air in a store is on average much drier than fresh produce can handle. Fruit and vegetables evaporate moisture, lose weight and nutrients and look less fresh. Customers leave such products on the shelf and you have to write them off.
An installation disperses ultra-fine water droplets above your fresh department. The mist evaporates, raising the humidity and lowering the temperature. It works like morning mist over a field. Your products stay cool, hydrated and last longer.
Yes. Every installation comes with a flushing system as standard, and we recommend a water filter. That keeps the mist clean and safe.
Dry store air costs you weight, colour and sales. Dry misting keeps the air around your products moist and cool.

Benefits
More than 25% less discarded fruit and vegetables has a direct impact on your department’s margin. Less rejection also means less time spent sorting and writing off products.
Products keep their colour and shelf life for longer, so your display looks full and fresh all day. Products that look good end up in the basket more often. How much extra revenue that generates differs per store. That is why we do not quote a fixed percentage.
With less waste and less plastic packaging, you reduce your ecological footprint. Worldwide, dry misting could potentially save 7,000 tonnes of plastic.
