As the demand for sustainable agriculture and energy-efficient systems grows, Atomizing Systems, Inc. hopes to provide a solution for greenhouse operations with its Cold Fog high-pressure fog technology. Designed for precision and efficiency, Cold Fog is a humidification system that offers greenhouse and mushroom growers the ability to regulate humidity with accuracy, and without the excess moisture buildup that can harm plants and growing environments.
Tailored systems for greenhouse needs
The Bold Fog systems are custom-designed to meet the specific needs of each application. Whether for vegetables, flowers, herbs, cannabis, or mushrooms, the systems are engineered to deliver the right level of humidity and environmental control for optimal plant growth.
The proprietary Ruby-Orifice nozzles; which carry a twenty-year warranty, create extremely fine fog particles ranging from 1- 15 microns, ensuring the perfect balance of humidity without creating a mist or excess moisture that can damage crops, growing beds, or floors.
Precision humidification and cooling
Cold Fog technology is able to deliver humidity control within +/- 1%, ensuring that your crops receive just the right amount of moisture, preventing dehydration or over-saturation. This level of precision is vital, especially for delicate plants or in high-value crop production including Cannabis.
The systems also offer ambient cooling capabilities, which are becoming increasingly important as global temperatures rise and seasonal heatwaves become more frequent. Cold Fog can help maintain temperature and humidity levels, preventing heat stress and creating a more comfortable environment for both plants and workers.
Energy efficiency and sustainability
Unlike traditional humidifiers or cooling systems, Cold Fog technology requires no compressed air and delivers higher humidity with lower energy costs. By operating with minimal power usage and eliminating the need for carbon-based fuels, the soft-start systems contribute to a cleaner, more eco-friendly growing environment.
Cold Fog systems can deliver energy savings of up to 50% when compared to conventional cooling and humidifying methods. This efficiency not only reduces costs but also makes it easier for growers to meet sustainability goals and reduce their overall environmental impact.
Maintenance and flexibility
The system operates quietly, with no vibrations, making it ideal for environments where noise reduction is a priority. Additionally, the lack of moving parts and the absence of compressed air means reduced wear and tear, further lowering maintenance requirements.
The programmable PLC touchscreen allows for precise zone control, meaning different rooms or areas within a greenhouse can be independently humidified. This flexibility enables growers to create tailored environments for different types of crops, all controlled from a single fog pump skid. With timed programming options, growers can set up schedules that meet the specific needs of their greenhouses to ensure efficient operation at all times.
Chemical fogging for crop protection
In addition to humidification and cooling, Cold Fog systems are able to be used for chemical fogging of water-based agents. This feature is particularly useful for crop disinfection between harvests (especially in the Cannabis Industry), ensuring that your greenhouse remains a clean and healthy environment for every cycle. The system can safely and evenly distribute disinfectants or other agricultural chemicals, enhancing the overall health of crops without the need for additional equipment.
