Fogging and Humidifying

Ultra Low Volume fogging is a technique used for applying pesticides, disinfectants, or other chemical agents in a very fine mist. This method is effective for pest control, sanitation, and disease vector management, particularly in large areas. Liquid is typically stored in a tank or reservoir, pumped to the fogging mechanism through a tube. The system creates pressure that forces the liquid through the atomization nozzle. These nozzles use either high pressure or high-velocity air; as the liquid exits the nozzle, it is forced through either a narrow orifice or through a high-speed airstream. The fine mist is then propelled into the air by the airflow with the capability to travel over large distances, allowing for even distribution and into areas that might be hard to reach. The small droplet size allows the particles to remain suspended in the air longer so that they have a higher chance of settling on target surfaces or being inhaled by pests. Using a ULV fogger yields finer mist, reduced chemical use, and quick action over large areas.

Adding a controlled humidity via mist to large industrial storage rooms of tobacco leaves allows for proper moisture content within the leaf without wetting the leaves to the point of blackening or rotting. Without maintaining moisture content, the leaves dry quickly, becoming brittle and losing its characteristic flavors and aromas.
