High Temperature/High Moisture Fittings For Malting Applications
Case Study
A vital stage in the whisky-making process is the germination of barley, which occurs in kilns operating at temperatures up to 80°C with high humidity. While the industry is pushing for energy-efficient LED lighting, most standard LED fittings fail prematurely in these extreme conditions—leading to increased maintenance, downtime, and replacement costs.
The Solution
Ecolighting Systems now offers a robust LED lighting solution specifically engineered to withstand these harsh kiln environments. The fittings feature:
-
High-temperature resistance (up to 80°C)
-
Ingress Protection rating of IP66, ensuring full protection against dust and powerful water jets
-
Operational lifespan of 4–5 years, far exceeding conventional LED options in such conditions
The Benefits
-
Significant reduction in maintenance and replacement costs
-
Improved energy efficiency compared to traditional lighting
-
Reliable performance even in high heat and humidity
-
Clear return on investment (ROI) for producers focused on long-term operational efficiency
This breakthrough offers whisky producers a reliable and energy-efficient lighting solution for one of the most demanding production environments in the industry.
