Origonal innovators in climate control since 1995
Founded by a Swedish ingenious inventor and entrepreneur Carl Munters, the company, Munters was built around his insights to the laws of thermodynamics in combination with an ability to translate that understanding into groundbreaking technology. During his lifetime Carl Munters applied for nearly 1,000 patents, mostly within the areas of dehumidification and evaporative cooling. These two areas are core technologies within Munters including the world-leading patented desiccant rotor.
Munters AirTech, is a global leader in energy-efficient air treatment for industrial and commercial applications offering solutions that removes moisture from the air to controlling humidity in commercial buildings and industrial processes. Munters dehumidification systems are used by more than 20 major industries in hundreds of applications. Their goal is to provide energy-efficient, safe and reliable climate solutions where control of moisture content and temperature in production are mission critical. Munters helps leading companies around the world to maximize their opportunities while minimizing their global carbon emission footprint.
Munters dehumidification systems are used by more than 20 major industries worldwide and in hundred’s of applications and are represented globally in over 30 countries. Munters AirTech’s goal is to provide energy-efficient, safe and reliable climate solutions where control of moisture content and temperature are mission critical. Munters AirTech is solely represented by SMAC Enterprises within the Southern Africa region.
Munters Head Office, R&D and Production plants are based in Sweden and are represented in over 30 countries. Munters is listed on the NASDAQ in Stockholm trading under the MTRS symbol.

THE MUNTERS PATENTED DESICCANT ROTOR IS WORLD LEADING
The basic idea of the Munters desiccant drying wheel (rotor) is very simple.
Air is blown though the rotor structure and the humidity in the air is absorbed by the desiccant impregnated in the honeycomb media that forms the rotor structure. The air leaves the rotor much drier than when it entered.
A drive motor turns the rotor around slowly (6-10 times an hour). The rotor structure passes a separate sector where hot (reactivation) air is blown through the rotor to remove the accumulated moisture. The resulting wet air (which contains the removed moisture) is blown away outside. The rotor consists of a corrugated fiberglass structure, which contains a hygroscopic material (desiccants such as silica gel or lithium-chloride).
Health, safety & hygiene for customers is essential to Munters which is clearly reflected in the design of the rotors. The Munters rotors are continuously tested independently and have been proven by the Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology to have both anti-bacterial and anti-fungicidal properties.
Munters IceDry® wins prestigious Health & Safety Award
The Food Storage and Distribution Federation (FSDF) announced their annual awards which recognise excellence in health and safety. The judges looked for an innovative approach, good prospects for wider application and cost-effective deployment prospects throughout the food storage and distribution industry at large.
The winner of the FSDF Associate Member category was the Munters IceDry® solution, an innovative frost prevention dehumidification system which removes airborne moisture, reduces ice build-up and fogging, and greatly reduces accidents in cold storage areas.
This prestigious award once again proves that IceDry® is successfully used around the world and continues to achieve high accolades within the cold storage industry.
Munters are ecstatic that this application is helping with Health & Safety in the work place.
