Contribute to Philippines Through Fog

Ikeuchi has been a leading manufacturer of precision spray nozzles and humidification systems in Japan since 1954. Spray nozzles are used in processes and machines for cleaning, cooling, coating, moisturing etc.

The humidification system provides a complete system that maintains the humidity stably required for machines, equipment and materials in processes.

As "The fog Engineer", we continue to research our own spray technology

And with this unique technology, we have provided products that are active in the industrial field.

With a lineup of 42,000 types of nozzles and engineering services that maximize their performance, we support solving problems and improving productivity in the manufacturing process in the Philippines.

PRECISION CLEANING AND USES IN WET PROCESSES

For cleaning of semiconductor wafers, precision cleaning of printed circuit boards, DI water rinsing in wet processes, development, etching, stripping, slurry dispensing and film coating.

MEASURES AGAINST STATIC ELECTRICITY WITH DRY FOG HUMIDIFICATION

Overcoming problems such as electrostatic damage and dust adhesion that cannot be solved by static eliminators (ionizers) only. Reducing pick and place errors, lowering the failure rate and maintaining appropriate humidity in a cleanroom.

IMMERSION CLEANING OR LIQUID AGITATION IN AN ELECTROPLATING BATH

With their compact and lightweight design, ejector nozzles deliver excellent performance for agitation of plating solution, immersion cleaning of printed circuit boards, accelerated etching reaction on products submerged in an etchant, and agitation of a solution in a tank.

SLIT NOZZLES USED WITH LIQUID OR AIR

Slit nozzles produce a thin laminar flow of liquid or air of even thickness across the lateral direction, thus reducing chemical solution cost, DI water cost and air cost, and are suitable for smaller, more compact equipment.

BLOW-OFF, DRYING, AIR BLOW

Incorporating a noise suppressing design, TAIFUJet air nozzles boost and blow air with an even impact distribution, and are ideal for blowing off water remaining on PCB surfaces.Helps reduce air consumption

SLIT NOZZLES USED WITH AIR

Slit nozzles using air, also called air knives, blow air with an even distribution and are suitable for blowing off water remaining on the surfaces of PCBs or flat panels.

CONTINUOUS CASTING & ROLL COOLING

Proposing optimal nozzles that cover a wide range of operating flow rate (turndown ratio) to accommodate various casting conditions, along with layouts of those nozzles. Meeting high productivity requirements and accommodating flexible casting of diverse types of steel.

DESCALING

With a unique structure that fully leverages the speed and impact of the water jet, a water-saving, energy-efficient and long-life nozzle minimizes energy loss and overcooling of steel plates.

COOLING OF SHELLS, COVERS AND ELECTRIC FURNACES

Cooling refractories without wetting their surfaces. Capable of controlling the cooling speed. Preventing refractories from getting damaged by rapid cooling. Reducing the cooling time of a tundish, an iron runner, a converter and shell of an electric furnace.

FOR RINSING AND PICKLING STEEL SHEETS

BRASHIKan® series, nozzle headers with cleaning function. Automated cleaning of nozzle orifices with built-in brushes and discharge of foreign objects maintain an even spray distribution.

SURFACE TREATMENT, APPLYING A CORROSION INHIBITOR, ELECTROLYTIC PLATING

Selecting an appropriate nozzle for various applications and requirements in such processes as continuous galvanizing lines and electrolytic galvanizing lines (CGL & EGL), continuous pickling lines (CPL), continuous annealing lines (CAL) and CCL.

FOR DUST SUPPRESSION AND DUST CONTAINMENT

Dust suppression at conveyor hoppers and transfer points. Dust particles adhered to fine fog droplets settle onto the ground. Suppressing dust formation at an exit from a rolling mill or at raw material storage yards.

Food Processing

Automated spraying raises efficiency in food processing and improves quality.
Meeting eco-conscious needs such as saving water, compressore air, energy.

TANK CLEANING, PIPE CLEANING, CIP

Combining appropriate nozzles for cleaning various objects such as conveyers, filter cloths, returnable containers, bottoms of bottles or cans, and the insides of pipes. A rotating cleaning nozzle cleans the entire interior of the tank.

DISINFECTION & DEODORIZATION (STERILIZATION & SANITIZATION)

Effective disinfection and deodorization using Dry Fog with fine and uniform droplets. Anti-clogging nozzles, spraying water at low pressure, keeping the water in contact with the product surface for longer, and providing higher heat transfer efficiency, are suitable for pasteurization.

HUMIDIFICATION & MOISTURE CONDITIONING

Humidity control in a fermentation room with Dry Fog Humidifier AKIMist®. Measures against static electricity during packaging work. Conditioning dough surface moisture before baking for better texture after baking.

COATING AND APPLICATION

For an even coating with seasonings, applying a small amount of lubricant or oil, or for automated spray coating with viscous liquids such as chocolate, liquid egg, butter, honey or syrup.

AIR BLOW & POWDER HANDLING

For blowing away defective products, cooling down food, enriching texture, blowing-off liquid on a process line for drying, pneumatic conveying of powder, agitation in a liquid to prevent precipitation, and making concentration or temperature even.

FORMING & SPLITTING

Nozzles producing straight jets for forming and splitting food, or scoring bread and similar food doughs. Warm water spray for defrosting a freezer or food.

Automotive & Vehicles

Offering spray nozzles that reduce costs and improve quality in a wide range of manufacturing processes for engines, powertrains, painting, bumper and assembly.

MOLD COOLING

Automated spray equipment in a compact unit that fits molds of various shapes. Optimized spray flow rate for hard cooling, pinpoint cooling and cost reduction.

COOLING OF PARTS AND CAST PRODUCTS

Spraying Dry Fog or Semi-Dry Fog® enables cooling of die-cast or cast products, painted products or plastic mold products uniformly, quickly and efficiently without wetting them.

SPRAYING A RELEASE AGENT, APPLYING A CORROSION INHIBITOR

Optimization of amount of release agent or lubricant spray with automated spraying saves liquid and prolongs the lifespan of molds. Reducing uneven coating, seizure, galling or fume discharge.

HUMIDIFICATION IN A PRE-PAINTING PROCESS, MEASURES AGAINST DUST

Slit nozzles produce a thin laminar flow of liquid or air of even thickness across the lateral direction, thus reducing chemical solution cost, DI water cost and air cost are suitable for smaller more compact equipment.

Lineup with wide-angle nozzles for minimal clogging with large free passage diameter, and high-impact narrow-angle nozzles. Offering labor savings with an automated spray system.

Establishment of a Standard for Fog as an Industry-use Material

The word “fog” encompasses a wide range of characteristics.

IKEUCHI, "The Fog Engineers", has utilized a proprietary fog classification system based on droplet size, establishing it as a standard for fog as an industry-use material.

This enables determining characteristics of fog that solve customer problems and facilitating selection and proposal of optimal spray nozzles and systems.
