EAGLE III

For grommet installation on tarps, banners, safety belts, awnings and wind screens, the cost-effective yet heavy-duty machine can set one size in fully automatic mode and multiple sizes in manual mode. It will automatically adapt to the different thickness and materials. A standard touch screen offers interactive guidance.

ArcticBlast Dual

ArcticBlast Dual functions for winter humidification and summer cooling. The high-velocity fans and high-pressure water atomization are intended for large industrial spaces. For winter humidification, fans are pointed horizontally and the system maintains a desired RH “set point” control. For summer cooling, fans are pointed toward areas for maximum cooling (6-10 degrees F general cooling and up to 15 degrees F spot cooling).

ArcticMist

The ArcticMist System provides high-pressure humidification. It automatically maintains relative humidity “set point” by a ± 2 percent RH zone sensor which cycles on and off the pump control station supplying 1000 psi water to each fan. The “shearing effect” of high-velocity air further reduces water particles and accelerating evaporation. Aggregating six nozzles together makes routine maintenance easier. All components are easily moved, repositioned or relocated for plant layout changes.
