The MEC Mister system was first installed for cooling and humidifying all stages of have more breaks and more shoots. Our rose production has increased by at least 10% and maybe as much as 20%, also, 98% less mildew problems! Our business eliminated all of our pads and fans and now rely totally on fog for all of our cooling and humidifying needs. The energy savings have been significant. We eliminated 100 fan motors and replaced them with only 3 system motors.
Testimonials The following testimonials are just a few from the hundreds of satisfied MEC Systems Inc. customers.
BENEFITS FROM DUST CONTROL
Our gravel company has used the Mister dust control system for the past eight years. We have found it to be a superior system compared to other previous forms of fugitive dust control within our transfer stations. Air pollution has been reduced by a minimum 70% to the pleasure of residents in the surrounding community. A financial benefit to our company has been a substantial reduction in equipment maintenance by staff and especially company mechanics. The purchase and operational costs of the Mister dust control system is minimal compared to its overall benefits.
NATURAL VENTED GREENHOUSES
It is difficult to compare the MEC system to anything else on the market. The system gives superior cooling for plants, and the automatic controls are fantastically versatile. We save labor using the system because much less watering is required. We’ve just produced our best crop ever. We don’t have to move plant material out of the propagation area.
HAPPY CHICKEN PRODUCTION
At any given time our poultry farm has in excess of 10,000 chickens and two issues we have faced over the years is barn dust and odour. The MEC System has been effective in reducing barn dust and the most important concern, odour. My brother owns a pig farm and is impressed with the major reduction in odour in his barns. Definitely has been a wise investment by both of our farms.
ELIMINATING FUNGUS DISEASE
Our ferns remain in the fog from start to finish. The ultra fine droplets with the MEC system keep plant water which enables us to better regulate growing. In fact, the system makes growing a lot easier. We achieve a 98% take. The system has definitely contributed to our success in growing a quality line. We don’t think it would be possible to grow a quality liner without the fog system in our climate. We also save 35 to 40% bench space using the Mister system.
ELIMINATES DUST CONCERNS
The Mist System purchased from MEC Systems has worked out great. It has substantially decreased the amount airborne dust at our Sawmill and has made it a much healthier environment for our workers. After being faced with the pine beetle epidemic we were forced to deal with a much dryer fiber supply therefore a lot more dust. This mist system has allowed us to better cope with this issue and has become a key part of our day to day operations.
ROYAL TREATMENT
Our company recently received a contract to refurbish the Governor General of Canada greenhouses, located at Sussex Dr. Ottawa Ontario Canada. MEC SYSTEMS INC. worked on our behalf to prepare shop drawings for the fog system and its design. We were able to install with ease as per the layout drawings provided. Startup of the system was easy with no problems. It has held the humidity set points with no problems for 4 months that we monitored the computer print outs. We would not hesitate to call on MEC SYSTEMS again for another project.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
We installed the Mister system more than a year ago for humidification and cooling on 110,000 sq ft of rose production. We are extremely happy with the system and especially the dramatic improvement in rose quality. We can now produce springtime roses with long stems through the summer. Prior to installing the system our summer rose quality was very poor.
COOLS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS
Our restaurant has an outside dining patio which is a vital part of the operation, especially during the summer months. Due to the fact our building faces south, our customers were faced with blistering sun and humidity issues. Since installing the MEC cooling system two years ago, customer complaints have been satisfied and also have seen an increase in patronage. Other systems on the market seemed to apply “excessive spray” causing customers to have damp clothing and hair. As owner, I was so impressed with the system that we have also had a system installed on our home patio.
HIGH PRESSURE IS THE BEST
We are a large biotechnology company with several Mister fog systems in use within the company. Our system over other humidification systems because there is no leaching of nutrients out of the plan, significantly lower mortality, and no over-wet conditions. Three of our systems are 1000 psi and one is 500 psi. We prefer 1000 psi because the fog stays suspended a lot better. We especially like the overall evenness and consistency of the system, achieving excellent results with most species yielding 99 to 100 per cent.
HELPING MOTHER NATURE
Victoria Butterfly Gardens have trusted the service and quality products of Mec Systems for over ten years. Hundreds of thousands of butterflies lives have depended on the reliability of the MEC misting systems for their environmental control. The service, value and quality is unmatchable. I would recommend their product to anyone looking for a high-end reliable misting system.
Rideau Hall, Ottawa
The MEC Mister System is now used in the greenhouses located at Rideau Hall, Ottawa; the official residence for the Governor General of Canada.
The greenhouses are classified as Canadian Heritage buildings and have been a main feature since 1867, when they provided fresh fruits and vegetables along with plants and floral arrangements for state visits and other official occasions at the Canadian capitals six official residences.
MEC would like to highlight one of our clients (using the Mister System) which we believe to be one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in North America… located in Victoria, British Columbia Canada. Victoria Butterfly Gardens were designed and built specifically to showcase the life cycle and free flight of tropical butterflies and moths. The 12,000 sq ft enclosure is a riot of tropical colour, aroma’s and personalities. Stars of the show are the butterflies themselves – 3000 of them fluttering amongst the flora!
Enjoy up close the stunning beauty and colour of exotic butterflies, tropical ducks, flamingos, other rare tropical birds and Koi swimming in the stream and pond. Experience this living, breathing visual feast and enjoy a voyage of discovery, into the life of the inhabitants and the tropical habitat.

MEC would also like to thank the photographer, Rebecca Herfst of Chilliwack British Columbia, one of the rising stars in Canadian Photography.
