People sanitizing tunnel misting system biosecurity

Sanitizing Tunnels provide automated, hands-free disinfection for people, equipment, footwear, and tools entering controlled facilities. They create a fine, even mist of disinfectant that coats surfaces without soaking clothing or damaging equipment, ensuring consistent hygiene control at entrances.

What Are Sanitizing Tunnels?

Ideal for farms, packhouses, abattoirs, poultry houses, stables, processing plants, and vehicle entrance points where biosecurity and disease prevention are critical.

How The System Works

Our tunnels use a high-pressure misting frame fitted with multiple precision nozzles to release a fine, controlled spray of disinfectant. As a person or piece of equipment moves through the arch, the disinfectant is distributed evenly from all sides.

System Includes:

  • Stainless-steel or mild-steel tunnel frame
  • 70–80 bar high-pressure pump
  • Non-corrosive misting nozzles
  • Solenoid valve for automated start/stop
  • Foot or motion-activated trigger
  • Optional dosing system for consistent disinfectant mixing

The mist evaporates rapidly, ensuring no dripping, no residue, and no wet floors.

High-Pressure Odour Control Systems

Industrial-grade odour neutralization for waste facilities, food processing, and high-odour environments.

Sanitize & Biosecurity / Odour Control

Industrial Odour Control

Strong industrial odours reduce air quality, affect worker comfort, create community complaints, and impact regulatory compliance. Misting SA provides high-pressure odour control misting systems that neutralise odours at the source by binding airborne particles and safely dispersing ultra-fine droplets into the air.

Industrial odour control high-pressure misting system South Africa
Industrial odour control high-pressure misting system

Why Industrial Odours Need Control

Odours originate from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), decomposing organic material, and industrial processes. Without proper control, these odours spread easily and:

  • Reduce air quality for workers and surroundings
  • Cause discomfort and respiratory issues
  • Create complaints from neighbouring properties
  • Increase health concerns (eye irritation, headaches, respiratory discomfort)
  • Impact overall workplace well-being and safety

Odour control is now considered essential for environmental compliance and responsible industrial operation.

How High-Pressure Odour Control Works

Our systems use high-pressure pumps and specialised nozzles to produce micro-droplets that stay suspended in the air. These droplets:

  • Bind to airborne odour molecules
  • Reduce vapour concentrations in the air
  • Disperse naturally without wetting surfaces
  • Improve air circulation through the environment

For larger outdoor areas, Dust Blasters and Fog/Dust Curtains can be adapted to create wide odour-control zones across entire facilities.

Key Benefits

  • Neutralises odours at source with micro-droplet technology
  • Improves air quality for workers and surrounding communities
  • Safe for industrial environments and continuous operation
  • Low water consumption due to ultra-fine misting
  • Uniform, continuous coverage for large outdoor areas
  • No residue, wetting, or damage to machinery or walkways
  • Can integrate with automated timers or sensor control

Packhouse Hygiene & Conveyor Fogging Systems

Ultra-fine misting to maintain fruit quality, extend shelf life, and support food-safe packing operations from harvest to export.

Sanitize & Biosecurity / Packhouse

Produce Misting

Fresh produce loses moisture rapidly after harvest, leading to softness, weight loss, colour fade, and reduced shelf life. In packhouses, temperature alone is not enough — controlled humidity and light, uniform misting protect fruit quality from packing to export. Misting SA provides high-pressure misting systems designed for packhouses, processing areas, and conveyor applications where freshness, appearance, and hygiene are critical.

Why Humidity & Light Misting Matters

Fruits and vegetables naturally lose moisture after harvest. Without adequate humidity control:

  • Produce shrinks and loses weight during handling
  • Skins wrinkle, soften, and lose firmness
  • Natural colour fades and appears dull
  • Shelf life drops dramatically
  • Export batches become inconsistent in quality
  • Packhouse waste increases with rejected fruit

A controlled, ultra-fine mist slows down dehydration while maintaining firmness, aroma, colour, and texture — protecting your product from the packhouse to the marketplace.

Benefits of High-Pressure Packhouse Misting

Extended Shelf Life

Fruit lasts significantly longer during processing, storage, and export shipments.

Reduced Shrinkage

Protects fruit weight and appearance throughout the packhouse cycle.

Improved Visual Appeal

Fresh, crisp, hydrated look that appeals to retailers and consumers.

Maintains Export Quality

Ideal for long international shipping durations and temperature fluctuations.

Protects Delicate Fruit

Soft, fine mist prevents bruising, wetting, or damage to sensitive produce.

Minimal Water Usage

Ultra-fine droplets deliver controlled moisture without waste or excess saturation.

How the System Works

A high-pressure pump generates micro-droplets (20–80 microns) that remain suspended around the produce. This creates a controlled humidity zone over:

  • Sorting and grading tables
  • Conveyor belts and packing lines
  • Pre-cooling storage areas
  • Export loading zones
  • Bulk receiving and washing areas

The mist forms a thin protective layer that slows down moisture loss without leaving wet marks, residue, or drips on cartons — ensuring product integrity through every stage of the packhouse process.

Conveyor Misting & Fruit Spray Systems

Specialized Systems for Fresh Produce

These systems apply a uniform, ultra-fine spray over fruit on conveyors and in processing lines:

  • Reduce pathogen load and microbial growth
  • Maintain consistent moisture levels during processing
  • Allow dosing of safe, natural fruit-wash agents
  • Improve shine, appearance, and natural freshness
  • Reduce rot and decay during export storage
  • Safe for food-contact applications with approved additives

Natural additives can extend shelf life by 2–3×, improve aroma quality, reduce microbial activity, and protect fruit during transport — all while meeting food-safety standards.

Packhouse Application Areas

  • Fruit & vegetable packhouses
  • Fresh-produce export facilities
