Ihara's large-diameter bellows valve "PYB" can be delivered in one-third the lead time (compared to our previous products) and is a large-diameter bellows valve. Have you ever felt that large-diameter bellows valves have long delivery times? [In the case of conventional products] 1. Manufacturing of castings 2. Internal surface treatment, polishing, and repairs 3. Cleaning and polishing After repeatedly performing these steps, the products were shipped, and customers had to spend a lot of time purging them after delivery. Manufacturing castings takes time, and in addition, castings can develop cavities, which require significant time for surface treatment to remove. We thought that these issues might stem from the use of castings. Is it possible to create a large-diameter bellows valve without using castings...? From that idea, "PYB" was born. Delivered in one-third the lead time of castings (compared to our previous products) → By using pipes for the body, we resolved the issues associated with castings and enabled quick delivery by internalizing the process from material to completion. Additionally, since the internal surface is clean, there is no need to spend a lot of time purging after delivery.

Dedicated Fitting for Resin Tubes "EP-fit Series" Are you using "double ferrule fittings + inserts" as a matter of course for connecting resin tubes? Using double ferrule type fittings that dig into the resin tube can lead to cutting the tube from over-tightening or leakage issues due to insufficient tightening! To address this, Ihara Science has created a dedicated fitting for resin tubes that is a two-part component and a tightening type. Because it is a two-part component tightening type, it offers the following advantages: - Anyone can easily and reliably perform the work - No need to manage rotation speed, preventing over-tightening and insufficient tightening

• Pipe Fittings

"FF Datchakun" is a fitting that allows for quick attachment and detachment while having valve functionality. Moreover, it enables full flow without constriction inside, allowing for greater flow rates compared to typical quick joints. Traditionally, larger pumps were used with the assumption that flow would be restricted, but by using Ihara's "FF Datchakun," it is possible to flow without pressure loss, allowing for a reduction in pump size. This results in significant energy savings. Additionally, the foolproof feature ensures that detachment cannot occur when the handle is in the "open" position, eliminating concerns about incorrect operation. *Catalog downloads are available.
