Breitsamer® improved their productivity with Airtec®

Before installing the air humidification system from Airtec®, the Breitsamer® facility was suffering from various issues related to dust. The problems affected both the health of the employees and the productivity of the site. The employees had to wear masks and was restricted to shorter shifts. With these issues, Breitsamer® experienced an increasing sick-rate, downtime on machines and reduced production performance.

The air humidification system from Airtec® optimized the performance, which meant Breitsamer’s customer expectations were fulfilled. Besides reducing dust and controlling the humidity level, the installation of Airtec’s humidification system had a significant impact on the working environment and the employees’ wellbeing.

Another highly positive side effect from the investment in the high-pressure humidification system from Airtec® was the noteworthy reduction in the smell from the material.

For the installation at the Breitsamer® facility, a stainless pipe system with nozzles and swivels was chosen. To maintain a good water quality in the water feed, a flushable prefilter was integrated within the water supply as well as a softening unit to eliminate calcium and magnesium. Additionally, a hygienic filter with a UV-reactor was added to the system for optimal performance.  

The system at Breitsamer® works with 7 zones and a water consumption up to 832 liters per hour. The pulsing function guarantees an individual adjustment for each specified zone in the facility.
