Mitsuwa Man: Saburo-kun, EVs have been a hot topic lately, do you know about them? Saburo: Of course I know! They're electric vehicles, right? They seem good for the environment and look cool too! Mitsuwa Man: That's right. Cars that run only on electricity without using gasoline are called EVs. Saburo: But electricity seems like it would run out quickly. My remote control car runs out of batteries really fast when I play with it. Mitsuwa Man: That's true. So, the distance that an EV can travel on a single charge is often shorter than that of gasoline cars. *For more details, you can view the related links.

Saburo: My pencil can't write again. Sharpening it is such a hassle. Mitsuwa Man: That's because the pencil lead is worn down. Saburo: Then why not make it harder so it doesn't wear down? Mitsuwa Man: I can see why you'd think that. But pencil lead is made of graphite and clay, and it gets gradually worn down and sticks to the paper, allowing you to write letters and draw pictures. So if the lead is too hard and doesn't wear down much, you won't be able to write or draw. It can't be too soft or too hard; finding that balance is important. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more details.*

• Other pumps

At a certain automobile factory, the polishing liquid transfer pump that came with the liquid honing device was maintained every 3 months to 1 year. This pump is a cyclone pump, and frequent maintenance was required due to damage to the impeller lining and wear of the seal ring and sleeve. With a high frequency of maintenance, continuous costs and effort can accumulate without notice. Therefore, Mitsuwa Pump proposed the "Clover Pump," a rubber-lined pump with a proven track record as a transfer pump for polishing liquids and ceramic slurries. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

Saburo: It's so cold! Pump Man, it's been getting colder lately. Mitsuwa Man: Yeah, it’s especially cold today. Do you have a hose at Ichiro-kun's house that you use for watering the garden? Saburo: Yes, I do. Why? Mitsuwa Man: On cold days like today, if there's water left in the hose, it can freeze and cause the hose to burst, or you might not be able to use it until the ice melts. So, it's better to be careful and make sure as little water as possible is left in the hose. *For more details, please refer to the related links. For further inquiries, feel free to contact us.*

Liquids containing strong acids or strong alkalis cannot be discharged as they are due to concerns about environmental degradation. Such waste liquids need to be cleaned to a level that does not pose a problem to the environment. The important work of handling this is done by industrial waste disposal companies and recycling firms. They perform this crucial task every day to prevent environmental degradation. Moreover, safely and efficiently transporting such liquids is also a challenging task. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more details.*

• Other pumps

An essential facility in many factories is wastewater treatment. This wastewater treatment equipment receives liquids containing various components and different solids. To transport such a diverse range of liquids, slurry pumps are indispensable. Due to the various cases in which slurry pumps are used, they require more maintenance compared to general-purpose pumps that transport clean water. One of the common causes of this maintenance is liquid leakage. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.*

Saburo: Hello, Mitsuwa Man! It's warm today, isn't it? Mitsuwa Man: Yes, it is. The nice weather makes me feel good too. By the way, there is a type of weather related to pump performance, but do you know whether it's related to sunny or rainy weather? Saburo: Huh, weather and pumps? Hmm... Since pumps move water, I guess it must be related to rain? Mitsuwa Man: That's right, you got it! When it rains a lot, water accumulates in basements and low-lying areas. At that time, pumps are used to move the accumulated water. Especially during floods, pumps help reduce damage by efficiently moving large amounts of water. *For more details, you can view the related links.

Saburo: Munch munch munch... Mitsuwa Man: Hey, could it be that what you're eating right now is... Saburo: Yeah, it's a banana. I've loved them since I was little. Mitsuwa Man: Bananas are always available and they're delicious, so that's great. By the way, there's an interesting similarity between pumps and bananas. For example, have you ever seen the small "spots" on the surface of a banana? Saburo: Yeah, I have. What are those? Mitsuwa Man: Those are called "sugar spots," which appear when a banana ripens, indicating that it has a high sugar content. The people who grow bananas carefully observe these sugar spots to assess quality, and we also carefully check the quality when we make pumps. *For more details, you can view the related links.
