Winter Is… Here! Protect Your Production from Dry Air with Dry Fog

Intro

The chill has arrived, and with it comes one of the biggest hidden threats to manufacturing and production processes: excessively dry air. As heating systems run at full force, low humidity can cause static, material defects, and product loss. Many facilities only notice the impact when it is too late.

For operations without reliable humidity control, winter dryness is not just uncomfortable. It can be costly.

Why Winter Dryness Matters Across Industries

  • Print Operations: Low humidity causes static, inkhead dryouts, paper curling, and misfeeds, affecting productivity and quality.

  • SMT & Electronics Manufacturing: Dry air increases static electricity, leading to solder paste defects and ESD risks.

  • Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA): Crops in indoor facilities may suffer uneven growth, moisture stress, and higher susceptibility to disease.

  • Automotive Manufacturing: Low RH can create static issues and inconsistencies in paint, coating, and interior material handling.

  • Textile Manufacturing: Fibers and non-woven materials become brittle and static-prone, impacting quality and efficiency.

How Dry Fog Makes a Difference

Dry fog humidification delivers ultrafine, non-wetting droplets that stabilize humidity without wetting products, equipment, or materials. By maintaining precise relative humidity even in the driest winter conditions, AKIMist®E helps facilities:

  • Reduce static electricity and ESD risks

  • Minimize product loss and defects

  • Improve overall product quality

  • Maintain stable, safe environments for sensitive processes
