We would like to introduce the use of the "swivel joint" adopted by a major engineering company in Southeast Asia that operates in nine countries. Fuel storage tanks contain impurities such as water and sediment that are different from the fuel, and since these impurities are heavier than the fuel, they settle at the bottom of the tank. Therefore, our customers request to extract fuel from the clean supernatant (liquid surface). By combining the swivel joint with piping and a float, we can pinpoint the extraction of the supernatant. This allows the fixed piping to follow the changes in the height of the liquid surface.

We would like to introduce the use of "swivel joints" in storage companies that own bulk liquid terminals in various countries. In this facility (pump station), there was a process to flow multiple fluids within a single pipeline. Typically, separate pipelines are used to keep each fluid separate and prevent mixing, but this time we achieved a change in flow path by utilizing our product. Due to its rotatable structure, by incorporating two units at the connection points of the pipeline, we enabled the horizontal movement of two fixed pipelines.

The manufacturing of processed foods primarily based on soy sauce involves a process where various seasoning liquids are mixed, and the piping is frequently changed. The liquids are then sent to each mixer, filling machine, and sterilizer. To send liquids to each piece of equipment, we had to remove the clamps to change the piping position and reattach them, which was cumbersome for on-site operations and reduced the production volume. We received an inquiry about whether we could improve operational efficiency by utilizing the rotating structure of swivel joint fittings. By installing a "sanitary swivel joint" at the base of the flexible hose, we were able to respond to the demand for mixing various products and streamline the frequent piping changes, resulting in improved production efficiency.

Here is a case study from a manufacturer of hygiene care products. During the manufacturing of hygiene care products, there is a process where saline solution is transferred from a tank to a drum. However, due to the low viscosity of the saline solution, liquid dripping occurred at the outlet of the faucet after pouring. By installing a sanitary swivel joint (No. 30 elbow type) at the outlet of the tank, it became possible to change the direction of the piping without damaging the helical gasket, eliminating the liquid dripping.

We would like to introduce an example of utilization at a plant engineering company that designs, manufactures, sells, and installs food and beverage machinery. In the production of beverages such as green tea and coffee, after extracting the raw materials like tea leaves and coffee beans, it is necessary to discharge the extraction residue. Traditionally, this required removing and reattaching clamps and piping every time the lid was opened or closed. By incorporating three straight pipe sanitary swivel joints into the piping section, the associated piping can smoothly fold in accordance with the lid's operation, eliminating the need for piping removal and reattachment.

In the transportation line of food packaging machinery (testing equipment), there was a process for drawing up paste-like raw materials from a drum tube. A flexible hose was adopted for drawing from the drum tube, but during an in-house operational test, an accident occurred where the base of the hose was damaged. It seems that the high viscosity of the fluid and the corresponding pressure were the causes of the damage. While searching for a replacement for the damaged hose, attention was drawn to the sanitary swivel joint, and its adoption was considered. After confirming the product with a free sample, it was decided to adopt it for the prototype machine.

We would like to introduce a case where a robot is used to dispense sauces and creams onto food flowing on a conveyor belt. Previously, only hoses were used, but we installed sanitary swivel joints at both ends of the hose connection between the dispensing part of the robot arm and the replenishment pot, reducing the burden on the hose. The dispensing action onto food on the conveyor belt requires the robot arm to follow precise and rapid movements. As a result, the load on the hose accumulated, leading to damage. By installing the sanitary swivel joints, the load on the base of the hose was reduced, which decreased the frequency of hose replacements. 【Case Overview】 ■ Implementing Company: A major food company with over 100 years of history ■ Implemented Product: Sanitary Swivel Joint *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "automatic bag opening machine" is equipment that automatically opens powder contained in bags and feeds it into a hopper. During cleaning, the hopper lid automatically closes, but the cleaning line attached to the lid needs to operate in conjunction with the opening and closing movement, prompting us to consider using a hose. During the testing phase of the prototype, the hose bent significantly in a diagonal direction in response to the opening and closing of the lid. This caused a large load and twisting when using a soft hose, raising concerns that it could break if operated as is. Therefore, we changed part of the design from a hose to a fixed piping plus a "swivel joint." By modifying the design, we were able to improve the problematic areas as anticipated, resulting in smooth movement. Furthermore, by eliminating the use of a hose, we resolved concerns about twisting and breakage, and successfully delivered the equipment to the customer's factory.

We would like to introduce a case study from a cheese factory of a company that has been manufacturing and selling dairy products for over 100 years. Soft solid natural cheese is transported through pipes and moved to a heating oven. It is introduced from the top of the oven, and when closing the oven lid or tilting, it is necessary to move the pipes horizontally. The conventional method of removing and reattaching fixed pipe clamps to change the pipe position was inefficient and required improvement. When blending several types of cheese, there were many points for attaching and detaching clamps during pipe changes, leading to inefficiency. Therefore, we introduced a "sanitary swivel joint." After the introduction, it became possible to rotate the pipes 360 degrees without removing the clamps, making the opening and closing of the lid and the introduction of raw materials much smoother. [Case Overview] ■ Implementing Company: Dairy product manufacturing and sales company ■ Implemented Product: Sanitary swivel joint ■ Product Features: Fixed with hand-tightened clamps, making attachment and detachment very easy, and disassembly for cleaning is also straightforward. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The produced raw liquor is transferred to barrels and stored for a certain period to promote aging. In the storage facility of a certain long-established sake manufacturer, employees were carrying hoses and pouring into barrels, but due to awkward movements, the burden on the hoses increased, leading to breakage. Each time this happened, replacements were necessary, consuming both cost and time. Thus, the "Sanitary Piping 360° Swivel Joint" was introduced! By attaching a swivel joint to the base of the hose at the spout, the joint absorbs the twisting of the hose, reducing the load on the base and significantly decreasing the frequency of hose breakage. 【Case Overview】 ■ Implementing Company: Long-established sake manufacturer ■ Implemented Product: Sanitary Piping 360° Swivel Joint ■ Background: Recurring hose breakage, concerns about hygiene management ■ Effect: Reduction in life cycle costs, improvement in operability and hygiene *For more details, please download the case study PDF.

We are an engineering company engaged in the manufacturing and sales of industrial machinery, and we would like to introduce a testing example of our "Sanitary Swivel Joint." Due to the continuous operation of an automobile factory day and night, there were concerns about the lifespan of the components. We provided sample products for testing, allowing them to be used in conditions similar to the actual environment to evaluate the durability of the packing and sliding ring under continuous use. As a result, it was confirmed that even under harsh usage conditions, the components can be used with a recommended replacement every year as advised by the manufacturer.
