Hope you guys find this interesting! Let me know if you want to know more about anything you see! Would love to see any of your shop tour videos or photos as well! Post them below!
Loved this tour Gene, thanks for sharing. Pretty cool seeing the combination of serious firepower and simple systems & improvements in action.
Are you guys looking at misters for your humidity control? I remember seeing that in a big local screenprint shop and always thought it was a pretty smart way to pump moisture into the air.
We had an inline steam humidifier installed a few years into our HVAC system in the production area but they get all corroded due to constant moisture and fry themselves after a couple of years. Replaced it twice and have given up on that method. Bought a cheapish humidifier from Amazon and it will easily bump humidity in our shop by 15-20% within a couple of hours, but leaves a white film on everything due to the minerals in our tap/city water. So now I'm looking at either using bottled/distilled water in it ($$ - it will blow through 50 liters a day if it's cranked up) or having some sort of in-line filter installed on our water line to remove as much of the minerals as possible.
I'd be curious to know more about misters or what you guys are looking at, and if it requires some kind of in-line mineral filtration.
For now we'll keep using a combination of the humidifier and just hosing the shop down a few times a day as we get into the colder/dryer half of the year.
