Customer testimonial from Funke
In 2000, Dipl.-Ing. Wigbert Funke founded FUNKE-Luftbefeuchtungssysteme GmbH & Co. KG with the clear aim of fulfilling the highest hygienic requirements in laboratory areas. Since then, they have continued to develop and can now proudly count major international companies such as Bayer AG, Procter & Gamble, BMW and SAP among their customers. In 2023, Marcus Funke, also joined the company and is responsible for sales and marketing activities. Funke’s business portfolio includes a wide range of products, including the state-of-the-art Ceraspray hybrid humidifiers, adiabatic exhaust air humidifiers, mobile humidifier units and efficient steam converters.
The project
Funke was looking for hydraulic spray nozzles which could integrate well with their Ceraspray-VARIO Humidifier system. The Ceraspray-VARIO Humidifier system is an adiabatic humidification system which can control the humidity level up to 92% at low energy consumption. After testing different types, Funke selected Ikeuchi’s KB nozzles due to their high quality, robustness and durability.
“Ikeuchi nozzles are high quality, robust and durable. This fits in well with the orientation of our systems.“
Marcus Funke, Sales and Marketing Manager at Funke
Funke has since then installed their Ceraspray-VARIO Humidifiers in several customer facilities. Their most recent project was for the Bayer lab building and greenhouse project.
“Bayer Monheim already operates a large number of our humidifiers, especially in the research laboratories. But they are also used in offices and production facilities. The advantage of our Ceraspray humidifiers is that humidification consumes much less energy than a steam humidifier, for example. In addition, our systems fulfill the high hygiene requirements of the large corporation, as we only use purified water to which we do not add any chemicals or silver”.

We really appreciate the good customer service and the price-performance ratio. In addition, the quality of your nozzles is right, we have hardly noticed any failures or heavy wear. We would definitely consider to incorporate Ikeuchi products into future developments”.
