Humidity control for superior performance of your digital printing machines
Static electricity is the primary cause of problems at the feeder and the delivery unit.
Maintaining a relative humidity at 50 to 55% with AKIMist® "E" Dry Fog Humidification System drastically reduces the problems.
Benefits
Reduced Machine Downtime
This innovative system prevents problems in printing caused by static electricity, including double sheet feeding, paper jamming, and a disordered stack of sheets at the delivery unit.
Preventing Sheet Expansion and Contraction
AKIMist® "E" Dry Fog Humidification System prevents expansion and contraction of printing paper and reduces misregistration.
Better Employee Health
Maintaining a relative humidity level over 50% drastically reduces operator absences due to upper respiratory infection in wintertime.

Dry Fog that AKIMist® "E" produces is an ultra-fine fog with a uniform, mean droplet diameter of 10 μm or less.
One unit of AKIMist® "E" can produce maximum 14.4 L/hour (3.8 GPH) of Dry Fog at air pressure 0.5 MPa (73 psi).
Energy-saving humidification system
Compared with steam humidification systems, direct spray humidification that lowers room temperature by 2 degrees C helps reduce cooling load on air-conditioners and CO2 emission.

Why Is Dry Fog Non-Wetting?
Dry Fog that AKIMist® "E" produces is an ultra-fine fog with a mean droplet diameter of 10 μm or less, which doesn't wet the objects it touches.
Small droplets rebound from an object, but large droplets burst and wet the object. Dry Fog droplets are so fine that they do not burst or wet the objects it touches.
