Humidification for wood industry
Wood is sensitive to both dry and damp air
Wood is a natural product that reacts to the ambient air. It absorbs water and swells in damp conditions and releases water, thereby shrinking, when the air is too dry. This means that wooden products can shrink, crack and distort, thereby losing their value or falling outside the required size or measurements.
Wood is workable for longer with the right humidity
CAPACITY
Wood will be unaffected by the ambient air when it is kept at the right relative humidity. Wood that is affected by shrinking or swelling will have a reduced value, or may even be unusable.
Wood can warp
Wood can crack
Avoid loss and wastage
KOMO-hallmark
The KOMO-hallmark guarantees the quality of, among other things, wood products. The KOMO-hallmark is awarded by independent experts after inspection so it is of vital importance that the woodworking and storage areas are always kept at the correct humidity. A couple of points to note:
Untreated wood should be stored in areas with a relative humidity of 55% (SKH Publication 98-04)
When using a flash-off the humidity should be at least 70% RH. (SKH Publication 98-04)
Less dust in the workshop
COMFORT
Another advantage of the correct humidity is that it reduces the levels of dust in the workshop. The moisture in the air binds with the dust particles making them heavier. They then fall to the ground instead of floating around in the air. This in turn produces a more comfortable work environment.
And an extra advantage: in warm weather the adiabatic humidification even provides a cooling effect.
Cumulus increases the economic value of wood

We don’t need static electricity as part of our production process. Cumulus humidification reduces the fire risk and helps our production process run more smoothly.
Our clients expect a consistent quality. With a Cumulus humidification system I can provide that. It is an affordable system that works perfectly. It’s the best on the market!
Wood is sensitive to moisture levels. It shrinks, warps, and cracks. A Cumulus installation creates a stable humidity. That is essential for our production process and our KOMO certification.
Thanks to Cumulus’ flexible lease options our presses can run at full throttle. Fewer production stops, a consistent quality, and a stable process ensure a better return.
Flour dust allergies are a very common problem in the bakery branch. Cumulus humidification reduces flour dust and creates a healthier and more comfortable indoor climate.
