equipment manufacturer was working to enhance the performance of slit nozzles for their next-generation model. <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">Slit nozzles, also known as water knives or aqua knives<\/span>, discharge purified water or chemical solutions in the form of a thin liquid film onto workpieces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:0.5rem\">The requirements for this nozzle were as follows:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:2.8rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">Chemical resistance<\/span>: Must be made of materials that can withstand etching solutions.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<div

However, we committed to developing, designing, and manufacturing a slit nozzle that meets all the performance criteria, including chemical resistance, stable and uniform liquid film formation, low flow rate, high responsiveness with on\/off control, and drip prevention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">To drive the project forward, a dedicated team was formed, comprising the customer&#8217;s development engineer, our sales representative, and the chief design manager from our factory. Starting from scratch, we conducted multiple rounds of design and prototyping, presenting spray demonstration videos of each prototype nozzle to the customer to systematically resolve their concerns.<br \/>\nAs a result, we successfully developed a slit nozzle that met all the requirements, and the delivery of mass-produced units has finally begun.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/noz-SLNH-K-electronics_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6304\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width:824px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\">\n<div style=\"margin-top:5rem;margin-bottom:3rem;width:100%;border-bottom:1px solid #E9E9E9\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Benefits Achieved\u3000\u2605\u672c\u6587\u6bb5\u843d\u3068\u7b87\u6761\u66f8\u304d\u3000--><\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width:824px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem;background:url(https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/10px-45px.svg) no-repeat 0 0;background-size:auto 30px;padding-left: 20px\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.5rem\">Benefits Achieved<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">\nThe design of a new flat panel manufacturing equipment model, featuring <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">high-performance slit nozzles that apply etching solutions with precision and uniform liquid film thickness<\/span>, has been successfully completed.
