SS 700-DF Fog Fan – Direct Feed
Industrial & Greenhouse
Humidification System

Manufactured in the USA by Jaybird Manufacturing

The Hydro SS 700 direct-feed fogging system is our smallest and quietest atomizer, engineered for dependable humidification, evaporative cooling, and spot cooling in commercial, agricultural, and residential environments.

Unlike high-pressure misting systems that rely on nozzles and pumps, the SS 700-DF connects to an ordinary water supply and uses centrifugal atomization to produce tiny particles that evaporate quickly for efficient cooling and humidity control.

The Direct Feed configuration is regulated by a stainless-steel visual flowmeter panel and can be operated continuously or automated using a secondary controller. Its stainless-steel construction and UV-stabilized polymers make it well suited for greenhouse and other harsh-environment applications.

Industrial Humidification & Cooling Applications

The Hydro SS 700-DF is designed for compact, reliable humidification and cooling where quiet operation, simple installation, and consistent fog production are important. Its direct-feed design makes it an excellent fit for permanent installations using a standard pressurized water supply.

Compact, lightweight design allows easy
handling and flexible installation

Typical applications include:

  • Agriculture and greenhouse humidity control
  • Food packing and processing areas
  • Environmental humidity control systems
  • Commercial and residential evaporative cooling
  • Spot cooling for indoor and outdoor work areas

The SS 700-DF delivers fine fog production without the complexity of high-pressure nozzles, making it a practical solution for users who need dependable performance in a small-format atomizer.

SST Flowmeter Panel

SS 700-DF units include a stainless-steel visual flowmeter panel.

The flowmeter panel connects to a pressurized water supply and allows the operator to monitor and adjust the water feed rate going to the SS 700-DF atomizer. A precision needle valve regulates the flow, while the clear polycarbonate meter provides easy visual confirmation of system operation.

Direct-feed SS 700-DF units should always include a water solenoid shutoff valve. This ensures water flow stops automatically whenever power to the unit is interrupted or cycled off. All Jaybird control packages already include an integrated solenoid. If operating manually or using a preexisting control system, a separate Water Solenoid - DF should be installed in the supply line.

The SS 700-DF uses a 1 to 5 GPH flowmeter, matched to the operating range of the unit for reliable low-flow performance and fine fog production. Requires a pressurized water supply (10-100 PSI).

  • 1 to 5 GPH flowmeter scale
  • Up to 3.5 GPH net fogging output
  • Up to 1.5 GPH drain discharge
  • Precision needle valve flow control
  • In-line strainer included

The 1 to 5 GPH panel is sized to keep the SS 700-DF operating in an effective control range for dependable fine-fog performance.

Water Control Note: SS 700-DF units operated manually or connected to preexisting control systems should always include a water solenoid (or equivalent shutoff valve) to automatically stop water flow whenever power to the unit is interrupted or cycled off. See Water Solenoid - DF by selecting the Control Packages tab above.


How Jaybird Atomizes Water Without Nozzles

Jaybird fog systems use a patented centrifugal atomizing blade developed in 1986. Water enters a reservoir behind the fan blade and is forced through internal channels inside each blade. As the blade spins, centrifugal force drives water toward the blade tips where it exits through precision openings.


See comparisons of Jaybird atomizers in action (1:17 video)

At the blade tip, several processes occur simultaneously:

  • The rotating blade atomizes the water into fine droplets
  • A venturi accelerates airflow around the blade
  • A ring of atomizing pins further breaks droplets into fog
  • Particle size is variable and desired size can be controlled by the feed rate

This multi-stage atomization process allows Jaybird systems to produce large volumes of fog while using a simple, reliable design with no high-pressure pumps or clogging nozzles.

The result is powerful fog production, strong air propulsion, and long-term reliability.
