1. Manufacturing process

To produce a nozzle, there are 2 main methods (most commons):

• Machining the core material to shape it into the wanted design
• Molding the core material by injecting it in a designed mold

When producing a nozzle through injection mold, there is less margin for production errors as the initial mold determine the final shape of the nozzle. However, as soon as the nozzle need precise tooling to shape the orifice, this is where the difference between cheap and high-quality nozzle is visible.

One of the visible points to recognize a cheap produced nozzle is the imprecise tooling during the manufacturing process which will result in:

• Burrs (or “teeth”) at the orifice easily noticeable, but also inside the nozzle’s structure (less visible);
• Visible streaks in the sprayed water pattern.

Volkegelsproeiers

Volkegelsproeiers spuiten kegelvormig. Zoals de naam al doet vermoeden, wordt het gehele oppervlak in de kegel gespoten. Lees hier meer

Toepassing:

• Schoonmaak
• Sproeien van water of chemicaliën
• Koeling
• Trimmen van papier of metaal

Pneumatische  sproeikoppen zijn onder te verdelen in 5 verschillende types:

• Fijne mistsproeiers
• Halffijne, halfgrove nevelsproeiers
• Verstoppingsbestendige sproeikoppen
• Blower-lucht aangedreven, ultra-lage druk sproeikoppen
• Door stoom aangedreven sproeikoppen

Fijne mistsproeiers

Fijne verneveling met mist die geen vocht achterlaat. De druppelgrootte is ongeveer 10 µm. Lees hier meer

• Sproeien
• Koeling
• Vochtbeheersing
• Wassen etc.

Verstoppingsbestendige  sproeikoppen

Speciaal ontworpen voor het spuiten van stroperige vloeistof. Het ontwerp is bestendig tegen verstopping.

• Sproeien van olie
• Sproeien van smeermiddelen
• Spuiten van honing

Here are some clues to help you recognize the copy products:

• Wrong number of nozzles: our AKIMist®”E” has a maximum of 4 nozzles
• Different color:
  • Body: the green color is either more flashy or darker than our green. Or even sometimes it is not even green color…
  • Nozzle: our nozzles are brown with a white top towards the orifice. If they are darker or black, it is not produced by IKEUCHI.
• Different name on the body: our product is called AKIMist® “E” (in Japanese アキミスト® “E”)
• Different logo on the body (see our logo next to our company name)

So how important is the difference in manufacturing processes with copy products?

To answer to this question, it comes down to the nozzle’s performance and the consequence on your manufacturing process and the quality of your final product.

Choosing the right nozzle or humidifier is crucial for your manufacturing process, the quality of your end product, and your productivity by reducing your costs.

Performance of Ikeuchi products vs. copy products

If nozzles have burrs at the orifice due to an imprecise tooling for example, then you can be sure that you will have an inconsistent performance.

Burrs and streaks in the spray pattern have impacts on the spray pattern, the spray distribution, the impact strength, and the water consumption.

A nozzle with a production error will have an uneven water density and impact which means for you:

• Larger amount of water consumption;
• Insufficient performance;
• Easily clogged nozzles;
• Increased in running cost;
• Poorer quality for your final product;
• Increased maintenance time and cost to replace the damaged nozzles;
• Increased replacement time of the nozzles.

When one nozzle has a low performance, the results in a multi-nozzle arrangement will have an even worse performance.

If you use a copy product of our Dry Fog humidifier, the consistency of the water droplets size is uneven. Therefore, you are risking your production by getting it wet. You will also increase your cost by consuming more air, needing more maintenance and replacement due to lower-quality parts.

Benefit of a good performance product to help you deliver a high-quality final product for your business.

As a nozzle manufacturer with a high standard, the quality of our nozzles is our priority. Delivering a well manufactured, high-quality nozzle is a standard for our factories and we always test a nozzle per batch of production to keep our promise of high standard.

Please do not confuse our quality products to the copy products available on the market.
