style=\"font-size: 1.5rem\">Challenges Faced by the Customer<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">At an automotive parts manufacturer\u2019s foundry, casting sand scattering was a major issue.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/nozzle-environ-005-image_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"655\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5972\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">Castings were removed from sand molds and individual parts were cut from the runners.<br \/>\nDuring these operations, sand adhering to the castings became airborne as dust, worsening the work environment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/nozzle-environ-005-image_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"655\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5972\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">If the situation continued, it could put the plant at risk of non-compliance with occupational safety and health regulations.<br \/>\nThe customer therefore approached IKEUCHI, a spray nozzle manufacturer, to discuss <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">a mist-based dust suppression measure<\/span>.<\/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

style=\"font-size: 1.5rem\">Solutions Proposed by IKEUCHI<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">We proposed a fine-mist spray solution to suppress casting sand from becoming airborne.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dry-fog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/nozzle-environ-005-image_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"655\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5972\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"list-style-type: disc;margin-left:1.2rem;font-size: 1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">This approach offers the following benefits:<\/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>A fine mist forms a barrier around the workpiece, <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">suppressing the scattering of casting sand<\/span> within the work area.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Cooling products without wetting them<\/span> reduces thermal updrafts generated by hot surfaces, thereby <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">minimizing the rise of sand dust<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:0.8rem\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Targeted local misting suppresses dust<\/span> in areas where the dust collector cannot fully collect it.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<\/ul>\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<div

1rem;line-height:1.6rem\">Measurements with a particle counter confirmed that airborne dust was reduced by approximately 20%.<br \/>\nIKEUCHI\u2019s spray solution continues to contribute to
