Humidification for Print Media Center (PMC) in Germany

The importance of optimal humidity for performance and the trouble-free printing process has been proven once again by DRAABE air humidification since 2015.

Relaxed printing

Since 1996, more than 200 DRAABE high-pressure nozzle humidifiers have been in use in the Heidelberg production halls to guarantee optimal conditions for printing and testing after final assembly. At PMC Commercial, the latest generation of humidifiers now ensures an optimal climate for individual customer demonstrations with the DRAABE TurboFogNeo system. ""Our demonstrations have to work with pinpoint accuracy: there must be no edge waviness, plates or electrostatic charges of the paper,"" explains Roland Krapp, Head of Print Media Center.

For man and machine

The water used for air humidification is treated germ-free and demineralized using a multi-stage DRAABE water treatment system. Maintenance and cleaning are carried out automatically every six months: The DRAABE Pur containers used are simply replaced by cleaned systems without the building services having to take care of the maintenance. This full-service concept and the current VDI certification were also decisive for the renewed choice of the DRAABE system. Roland Krapp is very satisfied with this decision: "Our DRAABE air humidification system reliably creates the prerequisites for maximum performance by man and machine."
