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.
Project challenge
The client's main objective was to achieve a consistent and optimal moisture level in the glulam production process. Controlling the moisture level is critical to ensure product consistency and durability, which are the cornerstones of Timbeco's reputation and quality.
How we built it
We installed a UNIFOG humidification system specifically designed for industrial conditions in the production facilities located in Tõdva, offering flexibility and efficiency. To ensure high-quality water, we also added a water softening system, which guarantees the trouble-free operation of the humidification equipment and low maintenance costs.

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 pipe humidification modernization in a woodworking plant – 16 zones
For a North Estonian timber industry company, we modernized the entire factory's humidification into a UNIFOG pipe-type humidification system. The system consisted of 16 humidification zones and was one of the largest solutions we have supplied. The control panel was installed in the technicians' room, and the system is practically maintenance-free. The installation took a total of three weeks.
