Woodworking areas such as furniture, cabinetry, and flooring often experience manufacturing problems caused by dry air, further affecting product quality, part scrap rates, and overtime, all of which can impact profits. Wood stored and processed in a humidity-stabilized environment ensures that the wood remains dimensionally stable, reducing manufacturing problems. As a manufacturer of wood products, it is critical to maintain the proper EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content).The EMC is the point at which wood neither gains nor loses moisture. As the moisture content in wood changes, it can lead to cracking, warping, splitting and shrinkage. Humidity levels below 40% can reduce the moisture content in wood and cause dimensional changes or even irreparable damage.
Wood is hygroscopic by nature and readily absorbs and releases moisture depending on humidity levels. Static electricity is a problem in woodworking environments when dry air causes surfaces to carry static electricity. It can lead to a variety of problems, including dust fires and static explosions. In some cases, static electricity can also affect paint and finishes adhering to the wood. PARKOO Ultrasonic humidifier releases a fine mist, similar to pressurized steam, with a fog particle diameter of 1 to 5μ, humidifying up to 99% RH or more, and evaporating quickly to raise the humidity to the desired level. The machine is equipped with Japan's SHINYEI humidity sensor, high accuracy, can realize automatic constant humidity control, to better meet the wood processing process of accurate humidification. Using an ultrasonic humidifier for humidification during wood processing to maintain humidity levels at 40% to 60% RH can avoid or minimize all of the above problems while significantly reducing airborne dust. When humidity levels are increased in a woodworking shop, the number of particles floating in the air can be reduced to a great extent, and ultrasonic humidifiers result in a cleaner, healthier workspace as the evaporative cooling effect reduces the plant's cooling load and improves employee comfort. On the other hand, keeping the air in a facility at higher humidity levels reduces the risk of material fires and improves tool life and machine quality.
