PERFECT UMI
perfect humidity for your fresh produce |
|
|
| |
 |
Today you can offer your customers attractively fresh produce that looks like it's just been harvested, thanks to PERFECT UMI, the humidity system for sales displays that prevents the dehydration not only fruit and vegetables but also of meat, fish, cheese. |
|
 |
Fresh foodstuffs can be subject to significant weight losses caused by dehydration: for fruit and vegetables from 15 to 58%, for meat 15%, for fish 15%, for cheese 7%. The resulting economic losses can be truly significant. |
|
 |
PERFECT UMI offers retailers exceptional advantages. By reducing the weight losses of the products in question by up to 90% and extending freshness up to 72 hours, turnover can be enhanced and losses on fruit, vegetables and other fresh products can be limited to a minimum. |
On the contrary, produce that is correctly humidified looks like it’s just been gathered (fresh and moist surfaces), crisp (shiny and solid) and fresh (bright colours). The benefits of rehydration can be even further enhanced if produce is humidified soon after harvesting. |
 |
Cooler displays, unrefrigerated produce areas and storage spaces normally have low humidity (50/60%). This causes rapid deterioration of most greengrocery products, which become soft and spongy, lose weight, change colour and start to look far less inviting. |
To maintain precisely the right level of humidity, during both storage and display, Perfect Cool has developed PERFECT UMI, an automatic humidification system distinguished by great versatility and extremely low running costs. |

Modern supermarkets give increasing emphasis to their fruit and vegetable display areas. The range of products and their correct sequencing, lighting, presentation and greater quality are key elements in the achievement of concrete results.
It has been clearly demonstrated that one store can be chosen above the others based on the perceived image, freshness and price of the products offered. Dehydrated products damage the image of freshness and seriously affect sales results.
PERFECT UMI allows workforce costs to be significantly reduced, with sales personnel no longer forced to repeatedly spray produce to moisten it or to move it to cooler spaces.

| VERY CLEAR SAVINGS...
Just one example of how much you could save with Perfect Umi:
let’s take this fruit & vegetable sector of a sample supermarket as an example:
- Daily sales: € 500
- Losses, without Perfect Umi, caused by weight loss or deterioration 8%: € 40
- Losses, with Perfect Umi, caused by weight loss or deterioration 4%: € 20
- Daily saving: € 20
- Annual saving: € 20 x 300 working days = € 6000
The Perfect Umi system is controlled by a cycle timer that can be set to a variety of intervals (ideal timing 4 seconds every 10-15 minutes). Water consumption for a medium system (40 nozzles) is 40-60 litres every 24 hours. Electrical power consumption is very low.

HOW IT WORKS
Water from a mains supply is filtered and fed to a pump unit that pressurizes it to 20-60 bar.
This pressurized water is channelled through extremely narrow tubes (9-12 mm) to special nozzles that atomize it in droplets of 10-20 microns.
This fine mist creates no unpleasant sensations for customers in range of the spray, and forms a very thins layer of micronized water on products, protecting and rehydrating them to prolong their freshness and enhancing their appearance.
The versatility of the system allows us to adapt it for all types of product displays, including vertical and horizontal cabinets and stand-alone displays, etc, and in storage areas we can create controlled-humidity zones in a cheap and simple way.
Maintenance is limited to a minimum; and this in turn gives very low running costs.

BENEFITS YOU CAN SEE
The charts compare cooled spaces at 5°C without humidification with humidified spaces.
It is important to consider that the charts refer to products with an ideal level of humidification, which is not always the real situation, given that fresh produce is subject to drastic humidity losses along the supply chain.
PERFECT UMI allows produce to be perfectly rehydrated, and the benefits obtained will therefore be far greater than those shown in the charts. |
