Dust suppression with mist systems in woodworking


In workshops for the processing of wood, as well as various wood products, a large amount of dust is generated during the processes of its processing and it is necessary to humidify the air to maintain the relative humidity of wood within 50-55%, depending on the technological process in production.

In order to avoid such negative factors as a decrease in the volume of wood blanks as a result of drying out and their further deformation, cracking and warping, it is required to install a mist humidification system in the premises. With a high concentration of dust, furniture blanks deteriorate, which leads to rejection of products and a decrease in profitability.

Due to the increase in dust, the productivity of personnel decreases, the number of absences due to morbidity and the growth of work-related injuries increases, so dust suppression with fogging systems is a necessary solution in furniture factories and carpentry. Elimination of dust that settles on production equipment, clothing, machinery and units and hovers in the air is simply mandatory, as it leads to damage and breakage of these material assets, which reduces the profitability of production.

In furniture factories, as well as factories for the production of wood-based panels, due to the lack of moisture, there are problems with marriage due to the fact that dry wood absorbs adhesives too quickly, as well as paint and varnish coatings - product quality is lost.


Relative humidity of 50-55% RH offers the following benefits:

The dimensions of the tree remain unchanged

More efficient production process

Increased processing speed

Increased tool life

Reduce downtime

Increasing the humidity level significantly reduces the risk of fires and ignitions. The content of dust in the air can be reduced by more than 70%, and in some cases completely eliminated. In addition, air cooling resulting from the evaporative process creates a comfortable working environment in a way that is more efficient than conventional cooling systems.


Dust controlfogging systems in the woodworking industry can solve many problems:

1. Reduced waste and increased productivity - workpieces and products retain their proportional appearance and size, the productivity of personnel increases, and the percentage of diseases caused by wood dust decreases.

2. Faster processing of materials - wood becomes more docile in processing.

3. Dust suppression - dust reduction reduces rejection in furniture shops due to abrasion of laminated chipboard and MDF boards, as well as reduces fire hazard and improves staff well-being.

4.The adhesion of wood blanks improves - the applied paint and varnish coating is more even and smooth, and the parts to be glued, veneer or laminate adhere more strongly throughout the entire service life.

5. Cooling of production areas – reduction of air temperature in production rooms by 5-12°, thanks to the effect of evaporation, working as a natural cooling system.

6. Increase profitability - increase revenues by optimizing production processes. Reduce maintenance costs and maintain overall order and cleanliness.



In order to prevent wood and finished wood and paper products from getting wet, the use of a High Pressure Fogging System is recommended. It consists of the following components:

  • High pressure pump;
  • High pressure hose system;
  • Fine nozzles;
  • Fittings;
  • Water filters in the supply pipe;
  • Fan to disperse fog (if necessary);
  • Fog system control unit;
  • High pressure ball valves;
  • Drain valve;
  • Fastening
