Pre-treatment
In automotive manufacturing, pre-treatment refers to the critical surface preparation process that occurs before painting or coating a vehicle’s metal components—primarily the car body (also known as the body-in-white). This process ensures strong adhesion of the paint and provides corrosion protection.
Ikeuchi provides spray nozzle solutions for the pre-treatment for painting, water rinsing process, cleaning etc. Our INVV and QB series nozzles are ideal for this process as they are easy to install, adjust and quickly detachable; “One touch” nozzles. This makes it possible to quickly switch between spray nozzles during the pre-treatment process.
Degreasing and washing
Degreasing and washing is a crucial step in automotive pre-treatment because it removes contaminants such as oils, waxes greases, and other residues—from the metal surfaces of vehicle parts before painting or coating. This step helps to prevent coating defects and improves paint adhesion.
For this process, we offer our VVEA series nozzles. VVEA is known for its semi-fine atomization with a mean droplet diameter of 20 µm ~ 400 µm. This leads to an improved washing capability with a significant reduction of demineralized water.
Deposition prevention
In automotive pre-treatment, preventing unwanted deposition is critical to ensure consistent coating quality, corrosion protection, and paint adhesion. Deposition refers to the buildup of contaminants, sludge, or residues on parts, equipment, or within the process tanks during pre-treatment.
For this process, we offer our EJX series nozzles. The EJX is known for its simple, effective structure, and lightweight design. The EJX series nozzle ejects 3–4 times more volume than the amount originally supplied, making it ideal for cleaning in liquids.
