Vortecone Invention as an Example of Teamwork Monozukuri
Here I present an example of how scientific and engineering methods play side by side to
develop a new type of wet scrubber that can effectively capture over spray paint particles.
Almost seven years ago, there was need to develop a new type of device to capture over
spray paint particles which has higher capturing efficiency and less energy consumption
than products that were already available on the market. All of the wet scrubbers were
then designed based on craftsmanship-type experience and categorized as one of three
different types: venture type, high impact type and other type. All of these scrubbers,
regardless of type, created high unrecoverable energy loss due to its poor design of fluid
dynamics.
