Cotes adsorption dehumidifiers come in a range of sizes with varying functions and airflow capacity. Finding the right dry-air solution starts with a conversation. That is why we welcome you to an obligation free conversation with one of the experts that can help guide you to the right dry-air strategy and the best dry-air solution for you.
Dry-air solutions for
STORAGE FACILITIES
Storage facilities are essential for securing goods, products, and equipment in various industries. These facilities require specific temperature and humidity conditions to preserve the integrity of stored items. Proper dehumidification is crucial to prevent damage from moisture, mould, and mildew.
Humidity Issues in Storage
Protect your production output and reduce risk
Whether you're storing valuable products, vehicles, or sensitive materials, maintaining optimal humidity levels is crucial to protect your assets. Without proper dehumidification, moisture can cause mould, rust, corrosion, and degradation, leading to costly damage and the risk of losing valuable items.
Cotes adsorption dehumidifiers offer an effective solution by controlling the dew point in storage environments, preventing moisture from settling and damaging your goods. Our systems ensure a consistent and controlled atmosphere, keeping your stored items in perfect condition, preserving quality, and reducing long-term risks associated with high humidity.

Humidity issues in storage
What is your dry-air strategy?
Cold Storage
Carefully controlled temperatures are crucial for preserving frozen and refrigerated goods. However, the temperature differences in cold storage facilities can create challenges such as:
- Condensation on cold surfaces, leading to ice buildup, slippery floors, and product damage.
- Corrosion of equipment and storage units, reducing efficiency and lifespan.
- Damaged packaging and labels, making products brittle and harder to handle.
- Mold and bacteria growth, increasing hygiene risks and potential contamination.
- High energy bills as refrigeration works harder to combat excess moisture.
- Frequent maintenance due to accelerated wear on refrigeration systems.
Warehouses
Maintaining ideal storage conditions in a warehouse is essential for protecting goods. However, humidity fluctuations often lead to issues such as:
- Condensation on stored goods and surfaces, increasing spoilage and damage risks.
- Corrosion of metal racks, containers, and equipment, shortening their lifespan.
- Damaged packaging and labels, affecting product integrity and visual appeal.
- Mould and bacteria growth, harming textiles, electronics, and other sensitive items.
- High energy bills from inefficient climate control struggling with humidity fluctuations.
- Increased maintenance needs, as humidity leads to structural and product degradation.
Product Drying and Storage
Controlling both drying and storage environments is critical for maintaining product quality. Uncontrolled humidity can cause:
- Condensation on drying surfaces, slowing processes and affecting product quality.
- Corrosion of machinery and storage areas, causing deterioration over time.
- Damaged packaging and materials, leading to loss of product integrity.
- Mould and bacterial growth, making it harder to meet hygiene standards.
- High energy costs from inefficient drying and climate control systems.
- More frequent equipment repairs, as humidity accelerates wear and tear.
Car Storage
Humidity control is crucial in car storage to prevent long-term damage to vehicles. Humidity-related issues include:
- Condensation on vehicles, leading to rust, corrosion, and paint damage.
- Corrosion of metal parts, affecting mechanical components and structural integrity.
- Damage to upholstery and interiors, including leather, fabric, and dashboards.
- Mold and bacteria growth, creating odors and hygiene concerns in stored cars.
- High energy costs from inefficient ventilation struggling with humidity.
- Frequent maintenance needs, as moisture accelerates vehicle deterioration.
Boat Storage
For boat storage, proper humidity control is essential to maintain both structural integrity and cleanliness. Humidity-related challenges include:
- Condensation on boat surfaces, causing rust, mildew, and water damage.
- Corrosion of metal parts, affecting engines, hull fittings, and structural elements.
- Damage to upholstery, wooden components, and finishes, reducing lifespan.
- Mould and bacteria growth, especially in confined cabin spaces.
- High energy bills from climate control systems struggling to remove excess moisture.
- Increased maintenance needs, as humidity weakens materials and structures.
Archives, Museums &Libraries
For archives, museums, and libraries, maintaining the right humidity is crucial for preserving valuable documents, artifacts, and artwork. Humidity issues include:
- Condensation on delicate materials, leading to mold on books, artifacts, and documents.
- Corrosion of metal shelving, display cases, and storage units, affecting preservation.
- Damage to labels, covers, and packaging, degrading historical and archival items.
- Mould and bacterial growth, threatening the longevity of irreplaceable materials.
- High energy bills from unstable humidity control in storage areas.
- Frequent preservation efforts, requiring additional resources and costs.
Better Hygiene
Remove the risk of bacterial infection from condensation and dripping from cold walls, ceilings, pipes, tanks, etc.
Avoid Condensation & Mould
Reduce the risk of hygienic and health problems for improved working environments and reduced risk of contamination.
Ensure Product Quality
Ensure the same product quality all year round, especially important for fish industry and smoking of sausage, and avoid packaging and labelling issues.
Faster Drying after cleaning
Reduce drying time after cleaning can increase capacity by up to 20%.
Improved facilities
Improve running costs by reducing maintenance cost on machines and facilities.
