Draabe Introduces New Double Function Humidification System at Drupa
HAMBURG, GERMANY—March 17, 2008—Draabe, the world’s leading manufacturer of humidification systems, will be introducing a new double-function humidification system at Drupa, the industry’s premier printing show in Düsseldorf, Germany, scheduled for May 29 to June 11. Draabe will display the new system in Hall 16, Stand 16D43.
Draabe’s DuoPur, the completely new air humidification system designed for rooms with low humidity requirements, is particularly geared towards the economic and technical requirements in the digital printing sector, CTP areas and small printing establishments. The system includes a new multifunctional water treatment system, a new generation of high-pressure atomizer and a digital control, all offered together in a three-part complete package including all maintenance and service requirements.
Draabe DuoPur - two functions, one device
The key feature of the new system is the multifunctional high-pressure water treatment system DRAABE DuoPur: For the first time, the module integrates the water treatment process required for high-pressure humidification and the high-pressure pump in one device. Draabe states that the installation, investment and operating costs will be reduced to a minimum by this new high-pressure technology compared with traditional high pressure systems with separate water treatment. As with the other Draabe modules, the system is installed in a small portable container which is exchanged automatically by the manufacturer every six months for a completely serviced and disinfected module.
Nanofine atomization
The complete system still includes the new “Draabe NanoFog” atomizer generation, which sprays the water treated by DuoPur directly into the room selected for humidification. Up to four NanoFog high-pressure atomizers with a maximum overall humidification output of 26.4 lbs (or 12 kg) of water per hour can be supplied by one DuoPur high-pressure water treatment system. With new nano-nozzle technology, the atomizers are hardly audible, thus fulfilling the requirements of noise-sensitive production and workstations. The desired air humidity is controlled by the new digital control “HumSpot”, which measures the humidity in the room selected for humidification, displays the current status, and activates the atomizer as required.
Draabe is a leading global provider of direct room humidification systems for all applications in industry, trade and offices, focusing mainly on the printing, paper and packaging industry. The product range includes humidification systems with high-pressure and compressed air technology, as well as systems for the production of standardized process water.
