The Japan Steel Works, Ltd. List of Products and Services

We are pleased to introduce a new type of die that incorporates advanced technologies, including the adoption of insulation structures, and has developed underwater pelletizing technology for high melting point engineering plastics. We have adopted an electric heater heating method that allows for the die to be heated and maintained at high temperatures of over 300°C. This eliminates the need for a separately installed heat source, enabling significant space savings and cost reductions. We will continue to develop various underwater pelletizers (UWC) for engineering plastics in the future. Additionally, our resin technology development center is equipped with numerous extruders, allowing for practical performance evaluations. 【Features】 ■ Electric heater heating method - Capable of heating and maintaining the die at high temperatures of over 300°C ■ Improved flowability with spherical pellets - By pelletizing underwater, we can obtain uniform spherical pellets with good flowability, without vacuum bubbles appearing on the surface. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

"Tela-TEX" is an operational support system that utilizes the TEX controller for a twin-screw compounding extruder, linking upstream and downstream equipment with TEX to achieve labor reduction, enhanced safety, and increased productivity in pellet production. Additionally, the data logging function supports cause analysis through the management of operational data and tracing during abnormal occurrences. This leads to prompt responses, which can reduce raw material loss. 【Features】 ■ A joint development product by Tanaka Corporation, Japan Steel Works, and Nikkō YPK Trading Co., Ltd. ■ Contributes to labor reduction and improvement of the working environment through simplification of tasks and ensuring safety. ■ Enables the discovery and resolution of production bottlenecks through production volume management. ■ Stabilizes production quality by manualizing production conditions through data accumulation. *For more details, please refer to the materials or contact Nikkō YPK Trading Co., Ltd. (a Japan Steel Works Group company), the distributor of this system.
