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.
Project challenge
The client set some specific conditions for the project: the system had to be as maintenance-free as possible, and the entire system control panel had to be located in the technicians' room. This required a solution that operates reliably and allows the control to be positioned away from the pump station.
How we built it
We offered the client the UNIFOG pipe humidification system, which met all the requirements set. This was one of the largest humidification systems we have supplied, where the control could be positioned considerably away from the pump station.
- UNIFOG pipe-type humidification system
- a total of 16 humidification zones
- the control panel can be located up to 500 metres from the pump station
- total installation time three weeks
What we achieved
With good quality water, pipe-type humidification does not require more maintenance than the replacement of the water pump seals and oil, resulting in a practically maintenance-free system.
- practically maintenance-free solution
- control panel installed in the technicians' room at the client's request
- entire factory humidification modernised (16 zones)
- installation completed in three weeks

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.
