LinkedIn Tech Digest: August 2026 | Mist Cooling, Dry Fog & Industrial Spray Applications
This article features LinkedIn post highlights shared in August 2026.
Mist Cooling for Faster Industrial Processes
Precision Die Cooling Cuts Casting Cycle Time
Cooling a crankcase die was taking more than 10 minutes—slowing production and increasing the risk of defects.
How did one aluminum die-casting manufacturer reduce that time to around 60 seconds?

Cast-Iron Parts Cooling: 20–30 Minutes to About 9 Minutes
How can 30 kg cast-iron parts be cooled from 150°C to 60°C faster—without major capital investment?
At a transportation equipment parts plant, a compact mist cooling system that could be positioned where needed cut cooling time from 20–30 minutes to about 9 minutes.

Dry Fog Humidification for Wood-Based Product Quality
Particleboard Warpage Prevention at a Custom Kitchen Manufacturer
Dry air can be surprisingly expensive.
For one custom kitchen manufacturer, particleboard panels warped during the dry season—causing costly scrap and unexpected production stops.
Could Dry Fog humidification solve the problem?

Tank Cleaning and Waste-Liquid Discharge
Buffer Tank Hygiene and Waste-Liquid Discharge Improvement
When a circulation pump alone isn’t enough.
At an ingredient manufacturing plant, sludge buildup and inadequate waste-liquid discharge were leading to foul odors and pipe clogs.
What did it take to improve both tank hygiene and waste-liquid discharge?

Air Curtain for Automotive Paint Quality
Air Knife Shields Nearby Bumpers from Paint Mist
Closer bumper spacing increased throughput—but caused overspray contamination.
Watch how a custom slit nozzle created an air curtain to protect paint quality.

Fog Technology Beyond the Factory Floor
Baseball Stadium Sea-of-Clouds Attraction ⚾
Spray technology does more than solve functional problems. Carefully designed fog effects can also shape what visitors see, feel, and remember.
At a baseball stadium in Hiroshima, our fog system helps make hot concourse areas more comfortable while creating a sweeping sea-of-clouds attraction.
See how spray technology goes beyond the factory floor—from a baseball stadium to summer fog experiences across Japan.
