Poor humidity control can cause paper expansion or contraction, leading to pitch misalignment. In severe cases, this may necessitate a complete reprint.<br \/>\nA single occurrence of such failure not only results in financial losses ranging from $2,000 to $3,000, but it also significantly reduces productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Paper expansion and contraction are highly delicate issues; even a 1mm deviation in a 100-inch pitch can lead to defects. Because our manufacturing processes are spread across different factory buildings, differing humidity levels have exacerbated the problem.<\/p>\n<p>To address this challenge, we determined that optimizing humidity levels across all the factory buildings and printing processes was imperative. Leveraging our experience with the AirAKI\u00ae system, which had previously been installed in some buildings, we have extended its implementation to all facilities.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #4dbbae;font-size: 1.2rem\">The Superiority of AirAKI\u00ae<\/h3>\n<p>Before and after the initial installation of the AirAKI\u00ae, we explored various humidification methods and systems from different manufacturers. However, despite frequent nozzle clogging, these systems failed to maintain the necessary humidity levels.<\/p>\n<p>The AirAKI\u00ae system distinguishes itself with its virtually trouble-free operation and its capability to ensure consistent humidity levels without causing dampness, even over long maintenance intervals.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the clean water supplied to the system from the water purifier does not damage electronic circuit boards and can also be utilized as dampening water in printing. The shift to controlling humidity based on absolute humidity levels, as you suggested, was a pivotal improvement. When we relied on relative humidity control only, we experienced equipment short-circuits due to condensation.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #4dbbae;font-size: 1.2rem\">Enhancing Operational Efficiency and Reducing Defects<\/h3>\n<p>By combining the AirAKI\u00ae with dehumidifiers, we can now maintain stable humidity levels throughout all seasons, which significantly improves the misalignment problem caused by paper expansion and contraction. Additionally, using static eliminators alongside this system has drastically reduced machine stoppages due to static electricity at the sheet delivery section, resulting in an approximate 19% increase in operational efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we dispose of defective work-in-progress containing personal information by either shredding or melting. By reducing these defects, we have also significantly cut labor and disposal costs, thereby making the cost-effectiveness exceed the operating costs of the AirAKI\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest highlight has been the improvement in customer satisfaction, which stems from our enhanced productivity that now enables us to deliver complex direct mail processing exactly within the tight schedules we&#8217;ve planned.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #4dbbae;font-size: 1.2rem\">Establishing Humidity-Controlled Environments<\/h3>\n<p>In addressing issues at a printing factory, it is crucial to first establish an environment that supports both the prevention of problems and the accurate diagnosis of failures by implementing effective humidity control across all factory buildings. Humidification is effective for more than just static electricity issues; furthermore, static electricity cannot be fully tackled with static eliminators alone.<\/p>\n<p>First, we establish the controlled environment, including humidity and temperature, then address any localized issues. Reversing this sequence will lead to a series of makeshift, reactive measures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I firmly believe that implementing humidity control through the AirAKI\u00ae system was essential for sustained productivity enhancements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"page_contents_pic\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4392 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/\u8a18\u4e8b\u5185\u306e\u753b\u50cf1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\u5199\u771f:\u30c9\u30e9\u30a4\u30d5\u30a9\u30b0\u7523\u696d\u7a7a\u8abf\u52a0\u6e7f\u30b7\u30b9\u30c6\u30e0AirAKI\u00ae\u3008\u30a8\u30a2\u30e9\u30ad\u3009\u7a3c\u50cd\u306e\u69d8\u5b50\" width=\"1100\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/\u8a18\u4e8b\u5185\u306e\u753b\u50cf1-1.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/\u8a18\u4e8b\u5185\u306e\u753b\u50cf1-1-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/\u8a18\u4e8b\u5185\u306e\u753b\u50cf1-1-1024x607.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/\u8a18\u4e8b\u5185\u306e\u753b\u50cf1-1-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/\u8a18\u4e8b\u5185\u306e\u753b\u50cf1-1-655x388.jpg 655w, https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/\u8a18\u4e8b\u5185\u306e\u753b\u50cf1-1-540x320.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/\u8a18\u4e8b\u5185\u306e\u753b\u50cf1-1-220x130.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dry Fog Humidification System, AirAKI\u00ae<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width:1100px;text-align:center;margin: 4rem auto 8rem\">\n<div>\n<a style=\"margin-bottom:1rem;justify-content: center;align-items: center;padding: 1.5rem 6rem;color: #fff;font-weight: 500;font-size:1.2rem;float: left;margin-left:10px;width:auto;background: linear-gradient(20deg, rgba(31,207,158,1) 0%, rgba(27,217,168,1) 35%, rgba(19,222,173,1) 100%);border-radius: 3px\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/documents\/report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View All Case Studies<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<a style=\"margin-bottom:1rem;justify-content: center;align-items: center;padding: 1.5rem 9rem;color: #fff;font-weight: 500;font-size:1.2rem;float: left;margin-left:10px;width:auto;background: linear-gradient(20deg, rgba(31,207,158,1) 0%, rgba(27,217,168,1) 35%, rgba(19,222,173,1) 100%);border-radius: 3px\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Us<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"color: #4dbbae;font-size: 1.2rem\">Industrial Humidification System Using Non-wetting \u201cDry Fog\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The AirAKI\u00ae is an advanced industrial humidification system that generates \u201cDry Fog*\u201d to create optimal humidity environments across diverse worksites.<br \/>\nThe system significantly enhances productivity and improves yield rates by preventing problems caused by dryness and static electricity.
