Case Study

Before: High Pressure Nozzle

After: AKIMist_®E

Numerix was having issues with their previous high pressure humidification system and John Brooks recommended Ikeuchi’s system as a solution. Numerix reported these specific issues they were facing:

• The high-pressure humidification system consisted of 45 nozzles in the press room and operated at 1000 psi and the total flow varied around 95 LPH
• This system was not reliable, the pump & filtration system needed repairs often and could break at any moment; especially when higher humidity levels were needed
• The nozzles would drip, block, and wet surroundings (Can be observed in Before Image)
• Large amounts of water being sprayed
• Humidity level could not reach higher than 30%
• Filtration systems became overloaded when faced with a higher demand for water

Humidification is necessary in print facilities for not only productivity, but safety measures as well. A faulty system can pose as a great threat and at Ikeuchi, we have a precision guarantee to ensure smooth operation. A couple months after installation, Numerix reports these results:

• Numerix has had only positive experiences with the new system
• Overall, more efficient. With just 28 nozzles (AE-4 x7) between two rooms, no more than 60 LPH is used and their required humidity of 35% is maintained.
• AKIMist_®E is practically maintenance free compared to the previous high pressure pump system.
• Less water usage = less failures & less maintenance in reverse osmosis filtration system

After experiencing these improvements, Numerix has decided to install more units of AKIMist_®E! We are so grateful for their business and the opportunity to support them.
