Ikeuchi Dry Fog Humidity Control System
Humidity control systems effectively mitigate static electricity issues in surface-mount technology processes while also significantly reducing CO2 emissions and energy costs. Use “Dry Fog” technology generated by specialized spray nozzles, which consists of ultrafine water droplets, each measuring 10μm or less in diameter, that don’t burst upon contact with objects; instead, they bounce off, keeping products and equipment completely dry. Ensure an optimal humidity environment, even in spacious manufacturing facilities, preventing problems arising from dryness and static electricity in the SMT processes.
