The Farmer's Sweat & The Fear of Ruin from Mold
After a bountiful harvest, the joy of Vietnamese farmers is often accompanied by a persistent worry as the golden grains face their biggest post-harvest enemy: the humidity of the tropical monsoon climate. A few unexpected rains or humid days can threaten an entire season's hard work. For businesses, especially agricultural exporters, the inability to control humidity can lead to high defect rates, destroy a brand reputation built over many years, and result in the loss of valuable contracts.
The Devastating Effects of High Humidity on Paddy and Rice
The 4 Enemies of Rice in Storage
🌱
Germination
High humidity tricks the grains into sprouting right in the warehouse, destroying their commercial value.
🍄
Mold & Aflatoxin
Mold not only spoils the rice but can also produce Aflatoxin, a dangerous toxin harmful to health and a cause for export rejection.
🐞
Pests & Insects
A damp environment is an ideal breeding ground for pests and insects that damage the agricultural products.
🟡
Yellowing & Quality Loss
Humidity causes chemical reactions that lead to yellowing of the grains, reducing their grade and market price.
Furthermore, uncontrolled humidity leads to other serious issues such as loss of nutritional value, failure to meet export standards, and increased production costs due to handling defective products.
DeAir's Comprehensive Solution: Professional Humidity Control for Rice & Paddy
For safe, long-term rice preservation, humidity control is paramount. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the "golden standard" for preservation is drying the paddy to a grain moisture content of 13-14%.
The Science Behind It: At this moisture level, the Water Activity (Aw) level in the rice grain drops below 0.65. This is a safe threshold that inhibits nearly all growth of mold, bacteria, and germination-causing enzymes, allowing for safe, long-term storage without quality degradation.
As a leading expert in heat and humidity solutions in Vietnam, DeAir provides a comprehensive ecosystem of products and services to achieve this standard, suitable for all scales from individual households to large warehouses and export enterprises.
1. DeAir Dryers – Automating the Post-Harvest Drying Process
To enhance the value of paddy and ensure export quality, actively bringing the grain moisture down to 13-14% is crucial.
- Proactive, Weather-Independent Drying: The Daxwell Heat Pump Dryer and DeAir.RE-H high-temperature dehumidifiers allow for 100% proactive drying of agricultural products year-round, eliminating disruptions from rain or humidity unlike traditional sun-drying.
- Superior Product Quality: Drying at low temperatures preserves the color, flavor, and nutritional value of the rice, creating a product that meets export standards.
- Process Optimization: DeAir's solutions significantly shorten drying times, increase productivity, and fully automate the process, reducing reliance on manual labor.
The Daxwell dryer automates the rice drying process, independent of the weather.
2. DeAir Dehumidifiers – The Reliable "Guardians" for Rice Warehouses
Once the rice is dried, the next critical task is to protect it from reabsorbing moisture by maintaining the warehouse's ambient humidity at 65-70% RH.
- Optimal Humidity Control: DeAir dehumidifiers maintain the ideal humidity level, minimizing the growth of harmful mold and bacteria.
- Suitable for All Scales: From portable industrial dehumidifiers like the DeAir.RE-60 for small warehouses, to large-capacity DeAir.RE models for thousand-square-meter facilities. For warehouses requiring ultra-low and precise humidity (like seed storage), the Dezenno rotor dehumidifier is the ultimate solution.
- Superior Energy Savings: Many DeAir models use advanced Heat Pump technology, saving 40-50% in energy consumption compared to traditional condensing units.
The DeAir.RE industrial dehumidifier protects the rice warehouse from mold 24/7.
