Conventional dewatering operations involve methods such as using blowers or air and hot air to evaporate moisture. However, none of these methods achieve complete dewatering, leading workers to perform additional wiping tasks to prevent complaints related to residual water causing odors, mold, and damage to cardboard boxes. Although the noise during operation has decreased compared to older devices, it is still quite loud. Workers engaged in tasks in areas exceeding 85 dB are required to wear earplugs or earmuffs, which poses a problem as they may not hear emergency signals or announcements, such as alarms. In terms of equipment specifications, pursuing dewatering effectiveness results in longer devices. This can lead to issues with factory installation space and makes cleaning and maintenance difficult due to the inability to disassemble the equipment, raising hygiene concerns. The new dewatering machine developed by our company utilizes a special antibacterial urethane sponge, enabling compact and efficient dewatering operations. The clearance adjuster function allows for thickness adjustments of the target objects, eliminating concerns about crushing solid items. An optional air blow unit achieves more accurate and complete dewatering. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

In the production line of packaged products, particularly in the packing of packaged products, employees face significant burdens due to long hours of standing work and the handling of heavy items. In today's industry, where labor shortages are accelerating, it is crucial to automate labor-intensive processes to reduce the burden on employees. By replacing labor-intensive tasks such as "accumulation," "packing" into cardboard boxes, and "palletizing" after packing with robots, we can significantly reduce manpower and labor, contributing to the improvement of the working environment. With various industrial robots and robotic hands, Nikko can flexibly propose a total production line tailored to the work, containers, and arrangement. Furthermore, our product, the dewatering machine "Suitor," which uses antibacterial urethane sponge, can also perform "dewatering" of packaged products by adding the optional air blow unit. The urethane sponge gently sandwiches the top and bottom surfaces of the packaged products for dewatering, while moisture from the sides and grooves is blown away with air.

Don't waste valuable manpower! Automated packing that becomes a powerful solution for creating processes that do not rely on labor shortages or the skill levels of workers. By registering multiple varieties tailored to production content, tasks that were previously labor-intensive can now be simplified to "just choose." By reallocating personnel to tasks that require more manpower, we can expect an overall increase in factory productivity. Furthermore, by combining our high-performance dewatering device "Suitor" with the production line for pack and pouch products, we can achieve even greater efficiency. This compact device, equipped with a special urethane sponge roller containing antibacterial agents, offers high dewatering capability and can be introduced without reconfiguring the line. For taller products like standing pouches, the optional air blow unit resolves dewatering at the bottom.
