The solution
Humidity control
In many industries like the lens industry, dust particles related defects are a significant lost in time and cost (repairs). Therefore, alternative solution are often implemented to solve that issue.
Mr. Kosa, the general manager of the Hoya Hungary facility, contacted IKEUCHI because he was looking for a high-performance humidification system. The facility was already equipped with another system, but the results were not satisfying to Hoya Lens Manufacturing (See the resulting graph at the end).
Our engineers quickly found the appropriate solution. They advised him to set up the Dry Fog humidifier AKIMist®“E” in all three zones of the facility where humidity control and dust suppression were needed.
Results of the AKIMist® Dry Fog Humidifier
The AKIMist®“E” system allowed a significant improvement of quality. Indeed, it managed to reduce the dust-related defects by 30% which exceeds the expectations.
As you can see, the temperature and relative humidity levels were low and volatile, but it changed as soon as the AKIMist®“E” was operating. The three zones reached a level of 45-50% relative humidity, which solves all dryness-related issues. It also achieved to reduce the temperature by 3 degrees which allowed substantial energy savings.
