DriSteem Announces New Buyer’s Guide for Humidity Control in Tobacco Processing Facilities

Eden Prairie, MN – March 2024 – DRI-STEEM Corporation (DriSteem), the leading manufacturer of humidity control, evaporative cooling, and water treatment products, is pleased to announce the release of a new buyer’s guide. This high-level guide is designed to assist tobacco processing facility managers and owners understand effective humidity control strategies.

Proper humidity control is crucial for maintaining the quality of tobacco products throughout the curing, storage, and processing stages. The process of controlling humidity helps preserve tobacco quality and prevents issues such as mold growth, insect infestation, and deterioration. Uncontrolled relative humidity levels can also negatively impact the weight of the materials, directly impacting profitability. 

This guide explores the benefits of humidity control for tobacco processing facilities and the solutions DriSteem offers that can alleviate these issues. DriSteem Adiatec® evaporative systems utilize the principle of evaporation to add moisture to the air, creating a beneficial cooling effect in some stages of tobacco processing. Steam humidification systems like DriSteem’s RTS® and GTS® LX humidifiers offer precise control over humidity levels and can be used during the curing and processing of tobacco leaves. DriSteem Evair® dehumidifiers can control and reduce humidity levels throughout the tobacco production process.
