Kenis bakery improves
bread quality with Muntersdehumidification expertiseCASE STUDY: KENIS BAKERY

Kenis Bakery started as a family business in 1986.

Passionate bakers known for their delicious breads and pastries, the team at Kenis Bakery,a cherished family-owned bakery based in Belgium faced a challenge during the hotsummer months. The existing air treatment system in their production facilities was unable
to control the relative humidity, which affected product quality.
A summertime challenge
After expanding to larger premises, Kenis Bakery
discovered that the existing air treatment system
was not sufficient to address summertime humidity, resulting in spongy bread and pistolets (small
Belgian bread rolls), which lacked the desired crispness. To ensure consistent and optimal bread quality, regardless of weather conditions, Kenis Bakery
turned to Munters for help.

As an air treatment specialist, Munters understoodthe importance of optimum air quality in the bakery
and offered a tailor-made air-drying solution. The
Munters solution efficiently extracts moist air fromthe room, creating a perfectly balanced environment for the bread and pistolets to cool quickly andevenly without affecting quality.

”With the help of the Munters industrial dehumidification
system, we can always serve our customers the crispest
breads, even during the hottest summer days! The investment
in a Munters dryer has brought about a significant quality
improvement for both our bread and pistolets”
Glenn Kenis, the owner of Kenis Bakery

Irresistibly fresh and crisp bread, no matterthe weather
The Munters system reduces humidity in the production area by blowing dry air over the bread andpistolets when they come out of the oven. The dry
air absorbs the moisture that the bread releases as
it cools, which ensures that both the pistolets andbread are crispy and maintain optimal texture duringtransport to sales locations. As a result, Kenis Bakery’
customers can always enjoy fresh, crisp bread andpistolets all year round.

Munters dehumidification ensures even bread andpistolet cooling, without impacting quality.
