Automating the hose switching operation on the wax manufacturing line.
Contributing to SDGs through improved production efficiency, elimination of connection errors, eradication of hazardous work, and reduction of cleaning water usage.
We have automated the switching operation of hoses (piping) in the blending process for wax manufacturing. We have produced an automatic piping switching device (straight type) for 9 upstream systems and 2 downstream systems. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Automation leads to reduced labor hours and improved production efficiency. ■ Damage caused by connection errors, which occurred every year, has decreased from an annual average of 4 million yen to 0 yen. ■ Burns to workers from steam and hot water during connection and disconnection tasks have been eliminated, removing hazardous work. ■ Continuous cleaning has become possible, significantly reducing the annual water usage for cleaning.
