There are many Commercial and Industrial applications where artificially controlled humidity levels can provide a significant improvement to the overall operation. By specifically setting and maintaining humidity, temperature and air exchange standards for the operation, overall profitability is enhanced. For these specific situations, ColdMist systems provide the ideal solution.

Main Advantages

• Ensures proper EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content) levels
• Reduces static electricity
• Maintains ideal moisture content and reduces wastage (especially in fresh produce packing areas)
• Maximises product stability and handling
• Reduces the incidence of dust fires
• Reduces evaporation
• In greenhouses, humidification promotes faster growth, increases yields, improves quality of the crop and reduces diseases.

Industries that benefit include:

Greenhouses

Professional growers know that it is vital to monitor and control all environmental factors that can affect their crops. Critical environmental factors influencing crop growth are optimum humidity levels, maximum light levels, ideal temperatures and reduced disease rates !
Humidification in Greenhouses provides the following solutions:

• Increased productivity with more usable plugs and seedlings per crop
• Increased germination – test results show up to 98% germination after 3 to 4 days using the ColdMist fogging systems
• Reduced stress on young plants by eliminating excesses in temperature and humidity
• Overall improvements in plant quality and uniformity

Wine Barrel Stores

In wine storage applications, increasing the relative humidity can dramatically reduce the evaporation of wine through the oak barrels. By effectively maintaining ideal humidity levels, the required ‘topping’ process and its associated expense can be virtually eliminated. This not only saves time & money for the winery, but also provides for a more consistent and higher quality product!

Paper Mills

As paper products can readily gain and lose moisture, a constantly controlled humidity level is critical to consistent and improved quality in the end product.

Other production related advantages that result from properly controlled humidity levels include :

• elimination of static electricity
• decreased curling and warping
• improved flexibility and dimensional stability
• better ink transfer
• significant reductions in airborne dust particles
• resultant evaporative cooling

Wood Product Manufacturers and Joineries

Maintaining the Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) in the woodworking industry is a KEY factor to improving both the quality and operation of the products produced. The EMC is the moisture content within the wood fibers where moisture is neither gained nor lost. Maintaining a stable EMC prevents undue stress and dimensional changes to the wood. This will result in both higher quality products as well as higher profit margins.

It is generally accepted that the ideal EMC for wood products is between 6% and 11%, depending on geographic location and climate conditions. To accomplish this, humidity levels of 25% to 50% need to be achieved and controlled. As wood becomes dimensionally stable at its fiber saturation point; preventing it from decreasing or increasing beyond that level will help eliminate shrinking, swelling, warping, splitting and cracking !

 

Textiles

Properly maintained humidity levels, usually between 50% and 65%, will result in improved quality and minimal downtime or rejections. This is possible because ideal humidity levels will actually increase the tensile strength of all natural fibers. Enhanced production capacity and reduced waste creates a more profitable operation.

As a bonus, static electricity can be removed making the yarn more workable and controllable resulting in less yarn separation. It also controls ‘cotton fly’ and residual airborne lint.

The heart of the system revolves around the Pump/Controller and distribution system. There are two nozzle and distribution systems.The high pressure nylon tube option which allows for easy installation without the requirement for special tools ( push fits together ) making it ideal for self installation resulting in reduced costs. This is called the SLIPLOCK system. This is the method most commonly used to manufacture misting rings for fitting to the front of fans. The alternate patented FLEXCLAMP option has stainless steel tubing, pipe joiners and accessories. This requires the tubing to be pre-punched prior to installation. Fans and Pump/Controllers are of the highest quality ensuring maximum reliability and efficiency.

Choose a Penguin ™ electrically-powered atomiser when some to all of the following design conditions apply to you…

Choose a Proptec™ hydraulically-powered atomizer when any of the following design conditions apply to you:

• mobile applications
• small size and weight of the atomizer is desireable
• environment too hot for an electric motor (e.g. stacks & flues)
• spray environment too corrosive for an electric motor
• cannot risk electricity or electric fields in spray application
• continuous high speeds (5000 RPM or higher) are desired, ie: for high volume fogging or misting applications over 2 gallons per minute (higher power demand).
• very high spray rates (over 4 gallons (16 l ) per minute.
• high volume air assist and high volume spray are required in unison
• hydraulic power is available, or there is an engine-driven powersource that could provide hydraulic power

If none of these conditions apply to you, you may want to consider our PENGUIN™series electric powered atomizers .
