Revolutionizing Gravure Printing Processes: Safe and Energy-Efficient Humidification Solutions

Reasons for Implementation

・The rising costs of electricity and fuel highlighted the benefits of investing in switching humidification methods.
・The demonstration convinced the customer of the feasibility of implementation.
・The high return on investment facilitated seamless budget acquisition.

Challenges at a Gravure Printing Factory

The inks used in gravure printing processes contain highly volatile and flammable organic solvents, which are harmful when evaporated, thereby requiring a large volume of ventilation to refresh indoor air. On the other hand, ventilation that takes in outside air makes the indoor air dry, especially in winter, increasing the risk of fire caused by sparks from static electricity built up in the process. Furthermore, the dryness can cause airborne dust and particulates to adhere to the products, leading to quality failures. To address these issues, effective humidification equipment is essential in gravure printing factories.
