Revenue model

1. Industrial Spray Nozzle Sales: IKEUCHI manufactures and sells a comprehensive range of industrial spray nozzles including hydraulic spray nozzles (flat, hollow cone, full cone, solid stream, slit, pipe cleaning, ejector), pneumatic spray nozzles, air nozzles, and tank cleaning nozzles. Products range from standardized individual nozzles to customized configurations. Revenue is generated through direct sales to industrial customers.
2. Integrated System Solutions: IKEUCHI designs, manufactures, and sells packaged solution systems combining spray nozzles with auxiliary equipment (control devices, temperature and humidity sensors, pumps) for automated operations. Solution systems include humidification systems (AirAKI, AirHYBRID, AirULM, HandAKI), cooling systems (CLJ-Dome, LYOHM, COOLJetter), dust control systems, greenhouse farming systems, livestock farming systems, and landscaping systems. Revenue includes both product and associated engineering/installation services.
3. Unit Products: Pre-assembled unit products for end-users and installers including Industrial Humidifiers (AKIMist E, portable AE-T), Industrial Mist Fans (CLJ-CSA), DIY Mist Kits (COOLKIT-A, COOLKIT-D), Spray Units, Water Treatment Units, Pumps, and Controller Units. Sold directly to end-users and through channel partners.
4. Aftermarket Parts and Services: After-sale services including replacement parts (nozzle tips, filters, adaptors), maintenance, and technical support. The ISO 9001 certified scope explicitly includes after-sale services. Revenue from accessories (fittings for liquid and air, adaptors, other accessories) and service contracts.

Core offering

H. IKEUCHI & CO., LTD. manufactures and sells industrial spray nozzles (hydraulic, pneumatic, air, and tank cleaning) plus integrated fog-based solution systems for humidification, cooling, dust suppression, and tank cleaning. The company also markets standardized unit products (industrial humidifiers, mist fans, DIY mist kits, controllers, pumps) for end-users and installers, supported by on-site engineering consultation and aftermarket services.

Product overview

Ikeuchi (H. IKEUCHI & CO., LTD.) operates as 'The Fog Engineers,' offering two main business pillars: a comprehensive spray nozzle portfolio and a solution business utilizing fog properties. The spray nozzle business includes Hydraulic Spray Nozzles (Flat Spray, Hollow Cone, Full Cone, Solid Stream, Slit, Pipe Cleaning, Ejector types), Pneumatic Spray Nozzles (BIMJ, GSIMⅡ, JJA, SCBIMJ series), Air Nozzles, and Tank Cleaning Nozzles (RJ, JA, ES, SR, SWB series in 2D/3D rotating and fixed types). The solution business provides packaged systems combining nozzles with control devices: Humidification solutions (AKIMist E, AirAKI, AirHYBRID, AirULM, AE-T portable units), Cooling systems (CLJ-Dome large space cooling, LYOHM outdoor cooling, CLJ-CSA misting carts, COOLKIT DIY kits), and Dust Control systems. Key technologies include Dry Fog (non-wetting ultra-fine droplets) and Semi-Dry Fog (10-30 μm droplets), applied across industries including electronics, food processing, printing, steelmaking, automotive, energy, and agriculture. Products range from individual nozzles and accessories to complete turnkey systems with sensors, pumps, and controllers.
