Introduction

In the spinning industry, maintaining a specific moisture level in cotton is a traditional practice to ensure yarn quality. The price of yarn depends on both its quality and weight, which significantly impacts profitability. The acceptable moisture range for the yarn is defined in the industry standard.

“IKEUCHI’s humidifier AKIMist® was introduced to me by an acquaintance who was also working at a spinning company. We were considering the implementation of humidifiers for the moisture conditioning process before the outgoing packing, where it is essential to achieve uniform moisture conditioning deep inside the cones. The ability of AKIMist® to spray a fine fog that does not wet objects convinced me of its great potential.”

Demonstration and Immediate Decision

I immediately requested a demonstration and, upon experiencing the non-wetting “Dry Fog”*1 sprayed from AKIMist®, became convinced of its humidification effectiveness. The owner had also observed AKIMist® in use at another company and, reassured by its proven performance, we decided to proceed with the implementation right away.
