Fresh fruit and vegetables displayed in store deteriorate rapidly. The extremely low humidity in the average supermarket causes them to lose a great deal of moisture. Salad leaves wilt within an hour, which means they appear less fresh and end up as waste sooner. Dry Misting combats this effect by hydrating and cooling the air around the shelf 24/7 without making the product itself wet.
Dry Misting creates a very fine mist of purified water using ultrasonic vibrations. A small plate vibrates against the surface of the water 1.7 million times a second, which creates minuscule water droplets that form a mist cloud above the shelf.
Thanks to the local cooling effect, the products stay fresh for up to twice as long, which improves their appearance and thus also the customer experience. Research has shown that customer satisfaction in a fresh produce department improved by more than 20% after Dry Misting was installed.
Even more importantly, Dry Misting reduces the volume of products that end up as waste. On average, supermarkets that use Dry Misting throw away 25% less fresh fruit and vegetables than supermarkets without Dry Misting.
Because every Dry Misting system is fitted with a rinsing system and water filter, the mist it spreads is always clean and safe.
