Reducing the effects of humidity on the walls and ceiling of a meat packaging unit by installing PVC panels

17 November, 2022

Tons of meat is processed and packaged daily due to the increasing consumption rate. Meat packaging units should be hygienic to ensure that fresh meat is packed and distributed to the customers. The temperature and humidity levels must be constant inside the meat packaging unit.

The effects of humidity on meat packaging units

Meat that requires removing from the coolers is prone to sweating or condensation. Fogging, dripping and icing are other moisture-related issues in meat processing and packaging units. Environment control systems that regulate both humidity and temperature can do away with the risk by changing the dew point of the meat. You can raise the temperature of the meat, lower the room temperature and control the room’s humidity level. A dehumidifier is a good idea but moisture still needs to be completely removed after the process. Let not the moisture constantly affect the walls and ceiling by covering the interior with PVC meat packing wall panels

Simple and hassle-free cleaning

Slaughterhouse walls usually get extremely dirty and much maintenance is required. The cleaning task can be made simple by installing vinyl wall panels. This covering prevents the wall from stains and damage due to excessive cleaning. Vinyl panels are resistant to stains and odors. The panels can be washed anytime without worrying about moisture seepage. The boards can be occasionally wiped clean using a soft mop/cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Do not use acids, bleaches, or abrasives. 

The installation process explained

Duramax vinyl sheets discard the use of Oriented-String-Board (OSB) backers. The installation requires half of the material and labor expenses. One professional can complete the installation within 7 to 8 hours. So, you only need a partial day to put up the panels. The boards are fixed to the studs with the help of screws and fasteners. Each panel is cut to shape before the installation. The vinyl sheets are designed in interlocking patterns. There are tongues and grooves to facilitate faster and easier installation. Before the installation, the panels should be kept in the same location for almost a day. This prevents the expansion and contraction before the installation. The panels do not require repairs post-installation. This relieves you from unnecessary headaches.  

Duramax – ASTM-certified PVC sheets

Duramax PVC Panels has been manufacturing PVC boards in the USA for more than 40 years. The panels are made from 100% virgin vinyl so panels are durable and have maximum longevity. The robustness of the panels depends on the quality of raw vinyl used to manufacture the boards. The sheets are ASTM-certified, CFIA-certified, and FDA-compliant. Duramax panels are completely water-resistant. They safeguard the walls and ceiling from the claws of excess moisture and humidity. They prevent mold and mildew formation because the panels’ surface is coated with an antibacterial coating. PVC sheets on the walls and ceiling keep the interior well-maintained and hygienic. The panels have a Class A, 1-hour fire grade that helps to prevent fire hazards. The sheets are resistant to chemicals, stains, and odor. They are eco-friendly, non-toxic and have no porosity. The boards are lightweight so they are easy to transport.      

Why say ‘No’ to FRP panels?

Say goodbye to FRP panels and eliminate delamination, cracking, peeling and moisture infiltration. Fiber Reinforced Panels are now almost outdated. FRP sheets are not suitable for moisture-filled interiors. An FRP board costs $70, but the total FRP cost is $141.50 which is huge compared to installing PVC boards. You need to invest extra money in purchasing additional materials and labor. A vinyl sheet costs $83.58 and only $5 is needed to complete the installation. FRP panels get damaged within a few years, whereas PVC panel installation is affordable and a long-term solution.
