Running Fine, Spraying Nothing: An Electronics Plant Fogged Air for Two Full Rounds
The most dangerous fault is not the one that stops the machine. It is the one that leaves the machine looking perfectly normal while doing nothing at all.
Of all fogger faults, one is by far the hardest to catch in practice: a machine that runs perfectly but dispenses no chemical.
The reason is that it sounds the same, the air blast is as strong as ever, and on some machine types a little moisture still appears, so operators reasonably assume all is well.
This article tells the true story of an electronics factory that completed two full treatment rounds without a drop of chemical leaving the machine, and explains the simple check that prevents it.
