style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">seafood processing plant<\/span> producing fish cakes and other surimi*-based foods, products transported on conveyors were sanitized with alcohol-based sanitizer before entering the steamer.<br \/>\n*Surimi: a versatile fish paste crafted from finely ground white fish, celebrated for its smooth texture and its ability to replicate the taste of premium seafood in a variety of flavorful dishes.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">\nThe current method relied on a simple flow-through system using single pipes, resulting in <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">high sanitizer consumption<\/span> and significant cost burdens.<br \/>\nTo address this issue, the plant consulted IKEUCHI for a solution to reduce sanitizer usage while ensuring effective sanitization.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width:824px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\">\n<div

1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">\nWe proposed the use of a pneumatic flat spray nozzle for sanitizer application. This compact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/products\/noz-pne-cbimv\/\" style=\"color: #00a273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBIM Series nozzle<\/a> features a very low flow rate but enables sanitizer to be applied across the entire product with a fan-shaped spray pattern. As a result, it significantly reduces sanitizer waste compared to the conventional flow-through method.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/noz-cbimv-food-texts_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6304\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">\nAdditionally, the nozzle is designed to softly spray a fine fog, minimizing dispersion while accurately applying only the required amount to the product. This not only <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">reduces sanitizer consumption but also ensures efficient sanitization<\/span>.\n<\/p>\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\">\nBefore implementation, the factory used as much as 5 tons of sanitizer per month. After introducing the new system, consumption was reduced to just 1.5 tons\u2014a remarkable <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">70% reduction<\/span>. As a result, <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">costs were cut by approximately US$5,500 per month<\/span> (at the time of implementation), achieving significant savings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">\nFurthermore, plans are underway to mount this pneumatic nozzle on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/products\/uni-con-funmusya\/\" style=\"color: #00a273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portable unit<\/a>, enabling its use as an automated spray system that can be easily positioned next to any production line. By implementing this unit, the system can be extended to other lines, promising even greater efficiency and benefits.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/noz-cbimv-food-text_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6304\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width:824px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;margin-top:4rem;margin-bottom:5rem\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xlNCDPwtFj0?\u3000cc_lang_pref=en&amp;cc_load_policy=1\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic\">Note: For food-processing applications, ensure that any surface of our product that may come into contact with your products or processes complies with applicable food safety regulations and standards.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","cat_cases":[87],"tag_cases":[380,376,543,549],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cases\/7699"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cases"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cases"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cat_cases","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cat_cases?post=7699"},{"taxonomy":"tag_cases","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_cases?post=7699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
