experiencing challenges in cleaning its fruit juice blending tanks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">The tank cleaning nozzles in use were not functioning effectively, <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size:

1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">The factory has 40 tanks, each of which needed to be cleaned once every three days.<br \/>\nManual cleaning took about 10 minutes per tank, resulting in <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">an average of four hours of labor per day<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

rel=\"noopener\">\u201cES\u201d series<\/a> as the most suitable solution to address the challenge. These nozzles deliver a flat-fan spray while rotating horizontally, enabling thorough cleaning of the tank\u2019s interior surfaces.<br \/>\n(The ES series is available in three spray coverage patterns: 360 degrees, upward 180 degrees, and downward 180 degrees.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/nozzle-food-014-image_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\">During the site visit, we inspected both the tank interior and the existing nozzle, discovering that the nozzle had been installed at an improper height. Raw materials entering through the side-mounted inlet were interfering with it\u2014causing buildup and making it prone to clogging.<br \/>\nTo resolve this, our first recommendation was to mount the \u201cES\u201d nozzle at a higher position than the material inlet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">As a further finding, it became clear that a single nozzle was insufficient to clean the entire tank interior, prompting us to <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">propose a two-nozzle configuration that offsets each blind spot<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/nozzle-food-014-image_02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6304\" \/><\/p>\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<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>Enabled thorough cleaning of the entire inner surface of the tank.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem\">\n<li>Achieved <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">fully automated CIP (clean-in-place)<\/span> without manual intervention.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">Saved four hours of manual cleaning per day<\/span>, eliminating the stress and workload of rushed cleaning before the next batch and <span style=\"font-weight:bold;font-size: 1rem\">allowing time to be reallocated to other tasks<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","cat_cases":[87],"tag_cases":[509,376,534,511],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cases\/8218"}],"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=8218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cat_cases","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cat_cases?post=8218"},{"taxonomy":"tag_cases","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_cases?post=8218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
