エス.ラボ List of Products and Services

Plastic products are used in a wide variety of applications due to their low cost and the ability for mass production; however, the disposal of these products after use has become a global environmental issue. Additionally, manufacturers face the "waste disposal problem." In Japan, more than half of waste plastics (Note 1) are effectively utilized by recovering the thermal energy generated during incineration (thermal recycling), but from the perspective of "resource circulation," it is recommended to aim for material recycling and other methods. As one of the few pellet-type 3D printer manufacturers in Japan, S.Lab has considered how to address these issues by recycling waste plastics through a process of 1. crushing (crusher), 2. extrusion (extruder), and 3. cutting (pelletizer) to create re-pelletized material. We have developed a compact system that provides new added value by "shaping with a pellet-type 3D printer." This system has been named the 'Recycling Lab System' and we have begun manufacturing and selling it. *The standard specifications of the equipment can be viewed by downloading the catalog. *Examples of re-pelletized waste plastics that have been shaped can be viewed through external links.

The tabletop CNC milling machine CNCBS4 series is a compact cutting machine with a wide processing range. It is suitable for machining resins such as MDF (medium-density fiberboard), chemical wood, and MC nylon. The compact CNCBS4 can be installed without taking up much space, and the CNCBS4L offers an even wider processing range, making it versatile for various applications. It supports a wide range of machining from resins to non-ferrous metals, utilizing a high-speed spindle with a maximum of 24,000 RPM, allowing for detailed engraving and deburring processes among other uses. For non-ferrous metal processing, it is equipped with a coolant system, while dry processing is possible for resin machining. The coolant oil (with a pump unit and oil tray included as standard) enhances machining accuracy, prevents wear, and facilitates chip removal, ensuring safe machining operations. It also enables the automation of three-dimensional engraving and deburring tasks, contributing to uniform finishing. The machine can be customized flexibly to meet customer needs, such as changes to the housing based on processing content and installation location, or expansion of the processing range. The oil tray and coolant pump are standard features, and it is a reliable domestically produced CNC milling machine with comprehensive support.

Our "Recycling Lab System" enables the recycling of unwanted plastics using a 3D printer in a compact lab system. Typically, plastic recycling requires relatively large factory facilities, but this system can be implemented in a lab-level space. It is well-suited for corporate research and development as well as demonstration experiments aimed at achieving a circular economy, and can also be used for small-scale production. Pellet-type 3D printers can accommodate a wide range of materials, from flexible to rigid, compared to conventional filament methods. While water-cooled systems are generally used, they require a drying process. This system supports both water-cooled and air-cooled options, allowing customers to choose according to their needs. *For more details, please contact us.*
