Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd. List of Products and Services

Since its establishment in 1965, Uemura Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd. in Tokyo has contributed to society through civil engineering technology related to urban development. We would like to introduce a case where they adopted the hydraulic oil "Bios Hydro SE." They rent out small shield machines for sewer excavation and were previously using flammable liquids as hydraulic oil for their hydraulic jacks. However, in certain cases, the municipalities that order the construction are sensitive to environmental pollution, and it became essential for the hydraulic oil to be biodegradable. By adopting a biodegradable hydraulic oil, they were able to meet the requirements of the municipalities. [Case Overview] ■ Background - Leakage prevention measures for hydraulic oil were a challenge. ■ Solution - The adoption of hydraulic oil provided the advantage of biodegradability. ■ Effect - They were able to secure contracts for construction projects where environmental pollution measures were a key point. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Since its establishment in 1974, Yamane Construction Co., Ltd. in Hiroshima Prefecture has contributed to the local community through marine civil engineering using its own marine cranes. We would like to introduce a case where they adopted the biodegradable hydraulic oil "Bioshydro SE." During the operation of the crane vessel, mineral oil was used as the hydraulic operating oil. When conducting river construction near residential areas, it was a challenge to implement measures to prevent oil leakage to demonstrate greater environmental consideration. After the adoption, they were able to utilize it for environmentally conscious projects and promote themselves as a company that is also mindful of environmental issues regarding operating oil, allowing them to differentiate themselves from other companies in terms of environmental considerations. [Case Overview] ■ Background - Oil leakage prevention was a challenge ■ Solution - Adoption of biodegradable hydraulic oil for environmental consideration ■ Effect - Successfully received orders for projects where environmental pollution measures were a key point *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Since its establishment as a truck body manufacturer in 1940, Company A in the Tokai area has been responsible for the production of commercial vehicles and contributing to the local community. We would like to introduce a case where they adopted the "Chain Master" for high-temperature drive systems. The painting drying furnace operates in a high-temperature environment of 150 to 180°C to cure the electrocoated paint on the vehicle body. This causes the oil for the conveyor chain inside the furnace to evaporate, leading to increased wear due to reduced lubrication, which shortens the chain's lifespan and increases the frequency of replacements, resulting in significant maintenance costs. After the adoption of the Chain Master, they successfully extended the lifespan of the chain and were able to reduce maintenance costs. 【Case Overview】 ■ Background - Maintenance costs for the chain used in the painting drying furnace were an issue. ■ Solution - Adoption of the Chain Master to suppress oil film depletion. ■ Effect - Successfully extended the lifespan of the chain and contributed to the reduction of maintenance costs and oil consumption. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Since its establishment in 1947, Company B in Saitama Prefecture has contributed to the local community through machining and assembly technology for automotive parts. We would like to introduce a case study where they adopted the coolant "Master Cool" for machining difficult-to-cut materials. In end mill machining of heat-resistant difficult-to-cut material SUS430, the tool life was shorter compared to machining other materials, leading to the use of coolant at a high concentration. This not only increased the amount of coolant needed but also worsened the workplace environment due to increased stickiness in the machining area. To address the challenges of machining difficult-to-cut materials that require higher processing technology, they adopted a coolant specifically designed for such materials. After adoption, they successfully reduced the coolant supply amount and improved the working environment. [Case Summary] ■ Background - Reduction of liquid supply amount and stickiness of equipment were issues. ■ Solution - By adopting coolant for difficult-to-cut materials, the supply amount was reduced by 50%. ■ Effect - Achieved reduction in liquid supply amount and improvement in the working environment. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Since its start as a vehicle production factory in 1991, Company C in Fukuoka Prefecture has contributed to the continuous development of manufacturing in Kyushu. We would like to introduce a case where they adopted the energy-saving multifunctional oil "Bashital Force." They were considering further reductions in CO2 emissions and had been soliciting improvement themes internally, but progress was not as expected. As one of the energy-saving measures in the press process, which has high emissions, they adopted the energy-saving multifunctional oil. After adoption, they succeeded in energy savings with the press machine, achieving reductions not only in CO2 but also in electricity costs. [Case Overview] ■ Background - Improvement themes aimed at achieving zero CO2 emissions at the factory were a challenge. ■ Solution - Utilization of Idemitsu's energy-saving multifunctional oil and expertise in measuring energy-saving effects. ■ Effects - Contributed to an average energy saving of 2.3% in the press machine and a reduction of 70 tons of CO2. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
