A humidity solution from Airtec® was able to reduce the ‘angel's share,’ or evaporation, for the biggest distillery in Finland. This made it possible to limit the loss of whisky volume during the maturing process.

Atomizers and Nozzles

To ensure a fully integrated air humidification solution the choice of nozzle and atomizer is essential. Airtec® atomizers and nozzles are branded under the names of HydroJet™, HydroTrio™ and HydroOne™.

Breitsamer® improved their productivity with Airtec®

One of the biggest recycling companies in Munich, Germany improved the working environment and the productivity by installing an air humidification system from Airtec®.

Capacity and Design

We design all our air humidifying systems on standard modular components combined with 30+ years of experience within a wide variety of industries and applications.

College of craft and design in Ikaalinen, Finland

Protecting the delicate characteristics of the wood for musical instruments by controlling the ambient humidity as well as reducing dust lead to productive benefits and improved work environment at the department for guitar making.

Desiccation: How to avoid loss of product weight and quality

In low air humidity, hygroscopic products will undergo shrinkage, drying-out or spoiling, leading to loss of product quality, mechanical properties, shorter shelf life and reduction in sales weight. Read more here.

Ensuring consistent wood production

Wood is a highly hygroscopic material, so in order to ensure a consistent wood product, it is vital to control the temperature and the air humidity. Here's how

ESD reduction in electronics manufacturing

In electronics manufacturing, reducing the risk of electrostatic discharges (ESD) is essential to avoid damage to components and production equipment – not to mention personnel. Here’s how:

Evaporative cooling: Energy-efficient removal of excess heat

It is a fact of nature that a phase shift burns energy – for instance, when water in liquid form turns to vapor, the energy required will cause the ambient temperature to drop.

How consistent food production is linked to air humidity

Air humidifiers are essential in maintaining consistent quality and quantity of food and wine products, avoiding desiccation and loss of product weight and quality. Here's how:

How to prevent airborne dust by increasing air humidity

Airborne dust is a by-product of most industrial processes and can constitute a threat to equipment and people. But airborne dust can be mitigated by control of relative air humidity. Here’s how.

Humidity control in plastics production

In plastics and composites industries, correct air humidity keeps static electricity and dust in check, reducing the risk of downtime and ensuring a consistent production flow. Here’s how:

Improved productivity in packaging industry

By controlling air humidity, you ensure a consistent packaging product, fewer production stops, and you avoid damaged products and static electricity. Here's how

Increased productivity and less waste with air humidification

Low humidity has had a negative impact on the productivity of the BV Trappen for some time. With an air humidification system from Airtec®, the wastage percentage was reduced - and the positive effect on the indoor climate could be felt after only a few hours.

Indoor climate depends on the right air humidity

Avoiding dry air in offices and commercial buildings is the direct way to better wellbeing, protection of assets and a higher productivity. Here’s how:

In-room Solutions

In-room systems are typically used in production facilities such as printing houses, electronics manufacturing or other production areas with heat-producing machinery.
