WHAT’S NEW? CONDAIR HUMIDIFIES
POLESTAR SHEFFIELD A Condair ML Solo high pressure humidification system has been installed in the litho platemaking area at Polestar print company’s award- winning plant in Sheffield. Designed to suppress and disperse electrostatic charges when protective film is removed from the plates, Condair’s low-energy humidifier maintains a relative humidity of 45% in the area. The project was carried out by Cambridgeshire-based HVAC and process engineering specialist, Arcade.
With a strong focus on printing excellence and productivity at Polestar, the new humidifier installation provides an effective solution to the problem of electrostatic charge generation when protective paper is removed from the litho plates. By reducing and dissipating the electrostatic charge, the paper and plates are easier to handle, it prevents the attraction of dust and reduces the risk of spark generation.
When it came to this installation, the versatility of the system and working knowledge of the installation team proved important. Joss Williams, Arcade’s Senior Project Manager, said, “The guys that attended site changed the design to suit the site location with no issues in relation to price. The installation was of a high standard and looks good”.
The Condair ML Solo is a low energy, cold water spray humidifier,
requiring just 5% of the energy used by equivalent steam humidifiers. This fits well with Polestar’s strong environmental credentials, which seek to minimise its impact on the environment through initiatives such as recycling and wastewater management.
Arcade’s work at Polestar Sheffield has included the installation of two chillers, inverter-controlled chilled water pumps, pumping stations, tanks and over 3km of stainless steel pipework, with Condair undertaking
