Excess humidity poses a significant challenge to the jute bag manufacturing industry, adversely affecting businesses in various ways. It hampers the strength of the fibres, resulting in a diminished end product quality and impacting brand value.
High humidity levels can lead to difficulties in the processing stages, affecting the spinning, weaving, and finishing processes, thus increasing unreliability in production. Additionally, the moisture-laden environment promotes fungal growth, further compromising the integrity of the jute bags and leading to bad odour, which can ruin the brand reputation. The inability of jute fibers to maintain their intended structure in such conditions also results in irregularities in texture, reducing the overall durability of the jute bag.
Sources of Humidity
Various sources contribute to excess humidity in the jute bag manufacturing process. A few of them of them are:
- Climatic conditions
- Inadequate storage facilities
- Inefficient processing units
Rainfall and damp weather can introduce moisture into the raw jute material, while improper storage practices may expose processed jute to ambient humidity.
General Recommendation
To counter the adverse effects of excess humidity, it is crucial to maintain an optimal humidity level in jute bag manufacturing areas. The ideal humidity content for jute bag manufacturing area should be maintained at 35% + 5%.
Bry-Air Solution
Maintaining a dry and well-ventilated environment effectively prevents fungal growth on Jute bags. Installing Bry-Air dehumidifiers in the Jute bag manufacturing and storage areas and ensuring dehumidified conditions before shipping will reduce the chances of rejections significantly.
