UNI-DAMP Humidity Cabinets: Significantly extend the lifespan of badminton shuttlecocks!
In Denmark, over 600 clubs trust the UNI-DAMP storage cabinet!
Shuttlecocks are made from natural materials (feathers or hybrids) that can dry out if not stored properly. When the feathers dry, they become stiff and break more easily. A good analogy is a branch from a bush: when it is dry, it breaks easily, but when it is moist, it is flexible and harder to break. It’s the same for the shuttlecock.
Purchasing shuttlecocks is a major expense in most clubs’ budgets. By correctly storing tubes in a humidity cabinet, you can save money for your club. With an improvement in shuttlecock durability of 50 to 80%, you can expect a significant reduction in purchases of 25 to 40%.
- Shuttlecocks last 50 to 80% longer.
- Shuttlecocks with the right humidity and weight create better play and greater enjoyment.
- Your club can reduce purchase costs by 25 to 40%.
- The savings ensure a quick return on investment.
- The cabinets are easy to use, require minimal maintenance, and have very low energy consumption (average of 0.36 kW per day).
The humidity cabinet is equipped with an electronic humidity control system. You can easily read the information and adjust the relative humidity, as well as the operating status, on the digital screen.
The cabinet doors are fitted with locks, and we supply a set of four keys with each cabinet. For double cabinets, the same key is used for both doors for added convenience.
Each compartment can be individually locked with padlocks for added security and flexibility (padlocks optional).
- Dimensions: 54 x 60 x 115 cm
- Storage for 64 shuttlecock tubes (ideal for an annual consumption of 100 to 250 tubes)
- 2 separate lockable compartments
- After three weeks of storage in the cabinet, analyses show that moisture has penetrated to the middle of the feathers and they have regained their original flexibility.
- A relatively small amount of water is used to maintain the cabinet’s humidity. This is done by having a container that must be refilled every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on temperature and ambient humidity, as well as the frequency of cabinet opening.
Each club has unique needs and budgets, which is why we offer both purchase and rental options for our humidity cabinets. If you want to reduce your short-term costs and try without committing to a purchase, rental may be the perfect solution (contact us at clubs@lardesports.com).
If you are ready to invest in a long-term solution to optimise the durability and quality of your shuttlecocks, purchasing may be the right choice.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
The humidity cabinet is equipped with an electronic humidity control system. It features a digital display indicating both the desired and current relative humidity, as well as the operating status of the cabinet.
The cabinet contains an evaporator, easy to fill with water even if the lower shelf is full of tubes.
We recommend using ordinary tap water. You can use demineralised water and the filter will last longer, but overall figures show that it is better to use plain water.
CONCLUSION:
Tests conducted by Badminton Europe at their elite centre in Holbæk show that players are more satisfied with shuttlecocks that have been humidified. The immediate explanation is that humidified shuttlecocks regain their “original” weight and therefore fly better. Storage in a humidity cabinet allows the shuttlecock to absorb up to 0.5 grams of water.
