Wood is by its nature hygroscopic - that is it is affected by the moisture content of the atmosphere surrounding it.
In order to avoid the warping and swelling that occurs when it is exposed to different humidities an optimal humidity level must be consistently maintained.
Cold water spray humidifiers have the added benefit of suppressing dust in the atmosphere, which in an environment where wood is being sawn, is very desirable and results in the area being a much healthier and nicer place to work in.
The JetSpray humidifier is ideal for this type of industrial application as it requires very little maintenance and consumes very little energy.
The system incorporates lines of precision engineered nozzles that combine air and water under pressure to produce fine sprays of just 7.5um, which evaporate almost instantly.
The JetSpray can be used to humidify any sized area by simply increasing the number of nozzles used.
With no drips or showers, and a self-cleaning mechanism, the JetSpray can confidently be used in the busiest industrial environments.
Constructed in nickel-plated brass and stainless steel, JetSpray nozzles carry a 10-year guarantee.
