At the sake brewing manufacturer, during the beer production process, adjuncts, yeast, and filtration aids were added using a pump, and inline mixing was performed using a static mixer. We received requests such as "We want to add the specified amount accurately" and "We want to use a pump that does not carry the risk of foreign matter contamination due to wear of parts." Please download the PDF document to see the solutions to the challenges and requests. 【Customer's Challenges and Requests】 ■ We want to add the specified amount accurately. ■ We want to use a pump that does not carry the risk of foreign matter contamination due to wear of parts. ■ Although sanitary pumps generally have expensive parts, we want to keep running costs as low as possible. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the material manufacturer, functional material coating solutions are applied to sheets using a gravure coater. In the previous process, the main agent and additives are mixed in batches, and the liquid is stirred with a mixer attached to the mixing tank. However, there are areas where uniform mixing cannot be achieved, which has affected quality. For solutions to the challenges and requests, please download and refer to the PDF materials. [Customer's Challenges and Requests] ■ The liquid is mixed with a mixer attached to the mixing tank, but there are areas where uniform mixing cannot be achieved, affecting quality. ■ We want to shorten the process and improve production capacity. ■ We also want to upgrade the supply pump for the gravure coater to a higher performance model than the current one. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The chemical manufacturer uses boilers in their factory, resulting in alkaline wastewater. Previously, they were able to meet the discharge standards by combining and mixing this wastewater with general wastewater produced in the same factory. However, after upgrading to a larger capacity boiler, the amount of boiler wastewater increased, and even diluting it with general wastewater caused the pH to exceed the standard values. Neutralization treatment is necessary to comply with discharge standards, but there were challenges such as "we lack experience in neutralization treatment and would like to fully entrust this to a company with the know-how." For solutions to these challenges and requests, please download and view the PDF document. [Customer's Challenges and Requests] ■ The boiler wastewater is nearly 100°C, so it needs to be received and cooled in a pit or a large tank that can handle high temperatures, but there is no installation space. ■ Due to a lack of experience in neutralization treatment, they would like to fully entrust this to a company with the necessary expertise. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the contract manufacturing company, paint is supplied to the spray gun via a pump on the small parts painting line, and traditionally, air-driven diaphragm pumps have been used. However, there have been issues such as "we want to measure and control the actual flow rate, but due to pulsation, it cannot be accurately measured with a flow meter." For solutions to the challenges and requests, please download and view the PDF materials. 【Customer's Challenges and Requests】 ■ When the pressure in the piping increases due to nozzle clogging or changes in paint viscosity, the pump's discharge volume decreases, necessitating the adjustment of pressure by operating back pressure valves, pressure reducing valves, and air supply valves. ■ We want to measure and control the actual flow rate, but due to pulsation, it cannot be accurately measured with a flow meter. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

In the urethane synthesis experiment, isocyanate is dripped at a rate of 1 mL/min into alcohol. Traditionally, we have been using a micro syringe pump, but there have been issues such as "there are few syringes that are compatible with Japanese-made syringes because the pump is made overseas." For solutions to the challenges and requests, please download and view the PDF materials. 【Customer's Challenges and Requests】 ■ There are few syringes that are compatible with Japanese-made syringes because the pump is made overseas. ■ The syringes are made of glass, making them prone to breakage and difficult to handle. ■ Some researchers are manually dripping because preparing the pump is cumbersome, but it is difficult to drip at a constant speed. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

At the private university (Faculty of Science and Technology), solvents including pharmaceutical materials (such as methanol and diethyl ether) were being transferred using a pump for analysis via spectroscopy. However, since a syringe pump was being used, there were issues such as "the amount that can be continuously delivered is limited by the syringe capacity." For solutions to the challenges and requests, please download and view the PDF materials. 【Customer's Challenges and Requests】 ■ The amount that can be continuously delivered is limited by the syringe capacity. ■ To conduct long-term continuous experiments, it is necessary to refill the syringe with liquid periodically. ■ Setting and calibrating the flow rate takes time. ■ It is necessary to differentiate between pumps and syringes based on the flow rate. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The food packaging manufacturer uses a pump in the process of applying adhesive to packaging film. Traditionally, a precision gear pump was used, but there were issues such as "the need for pump maintenance every three months, which requires stopping the line for a day each time." For solutions to the challenges and requests, please download and view the PDF materials. 【Customer's Challenges and Requests】 ■ The pump has a structure where multiple gears mesh to send liquid, so parts wear out over time. ■ Pump maintenance is required every three months, which necessitates stopping the line for a day each time. ■ Tasks such as adjusting gear clearance require specialized skills, leading to high outsourcing costs. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
