Case2: MARUYAMA MFG. CO., INC.
Product
UFB Ultra Pump UFB202B-15
Effects
Removes persistent grease stains on range hoods, fryers, and walls in restaurants and home kitchens. The UFB allowed the restaurant to clean using only tap water without needing cleaning agents or other liquids.
Applications
Cleans restaurant kitchens using an ultrafine pump. Removes grease stains all at once by simply pouring ultrafine bubble water all over the surface. See its effectiveness in the video below.
Product
UFB202M-DX 100V Motor Type
Applications
Configured and permanently installed a bypass route in the men's restroom that branches off the main pipe.
Adopted for men's restroom urinals in public transportation facilities and corporate offices.
Rapid installation in small spaces.
Effects
We confirmed that the urinary stones dissolved and flowed away because of the ultrafine bubbles. The remaining urinary stones were easily removed with a simple touch. Since the urinary stones dissolved gradually, they did not accumulate inside the piping. The foul odor also went away with them. Before this, the restaurant had to rely on urinary stone removers (costing approx. 30,000 yen/year). This became unnecessary when they implemented ultrafine bubbles.
Before Installation
Hard urinary stones covered the entire inside of the piping, obstructing visibility.
Approx. 2 Weeks Later
The urinary stones dissolved and thinned throughout the piping, increasing visibility.
Approx. 3 Weeks Later
Approx. 3 Weeks Later
The white urinary clusters covering the entire inside of the piping have melted away, thinning the urinary stones' overall thickness.Case3: KantoKoushin-KUBOTA
