Wood Industry Humidification System Expansion and Control Panel Upgrade
At a woodworking company in Võrumaa, we expanded the humidification system in step with production growth, upgrading the pump station along with the control panel of the previously installed system and adding a supplementary humidification zone to the new factory building. The old keypad-based control was replaced with a touchscreen control panel that enables management of all zones, monitoring of operating times, and access to logs on temperature and humidity levels.
Project Challenge
The client expanded production and constructed a new factory building that required its own humidification zone. At the same time, the control of the previously installed system could only be configured using a keypad, which made managing the settings limited and inconvenient.
How We Built It
We upgraded the existing system's pump station along with the control panel and connected the supplementary humidification zone added to the new factory building. We replaced the old keypad-based control with a touchscreen control panel, through which all settings and configuration can be conveniently managed. The new control panel enables:
- assigning custom names to the zones
- viewing the operation of all zones in a simple overview
- viewing the operating time of each zone and pump in working hours
- viewing, separately for each zone, which component might require maintenance
- obtaining a log of temperature and humidity level
What We Achieved
- an expanded humidification system that also covers the new factory building
- significantly more modern, touchscreen control
- a clear overview of the operation and operating times of all zones
- separate maintenance need monitoring for each zone
- monitoring of temperature and humidity level logs

Custom humidification system solution for outdoor storage
We expanded and adapted the previously installed air humidification system at the Barrus AS glulam plant for a new three-zone warehouse building. In each zone separated by curtains or doors, a stable and high humidity level of 80% RH is ensured, keeping wet sawn timber in optimal conditions before it is directed to the kiln. The piping is insulated and equipped with an automatic heating cable that activates automatically near the freezing point.
Tarmeko LPD new production building humidification system – old and new together
We installed a five-zone Unifog high-pressure humidification system in Tarmeko LPD's new production building, combining new solutions with equipment partially transferred from the old production facility. Both pipe-type and UFO-type humidification solutions are in use, and the entire system is controlled by a single touchscreen control centre with data logging. In addition, we equipped the press room with the necessary ventilation.
UNIFOG humidification system for glulam production
We installed a 1-zone UNIFOG humidification system in the production facilities of Timbeco Woodmill to ensure a consistent and optimal humidity level in the manufacturing of glulam. In addition, we installed a water softening system that keeps maintenance costs almost non-existent and ensures the long-term efficiency of the system. The system is expandable to the rest of the production facilities.
