This is a stand for hanging hoses after cleaning, allowing for drying and storage. It is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel (SUS316L). It solves the following problems that arise when hoses and pipes are laid flat after cleaning: - Remaining moisture inside, leading to an unsanitary condition due to incomplete drying - Unexpected rolling - Difficulty in transporting to the usage location By using this stand, moisture inside can be quickly dried, maintaining a hygienic condition compared to laying flat. It also prevents hoses and pipes from rolling or stacked items from collapsing, which could obstruct passage and create the need for re-cleaning. The stand is equipped with casters, making it easy to move from the storage location to the usage area.

In places where powder materials and organic solvents are handled, exposure to these substances can have health impacts, so measures to prevent exposure are necessary. While there are countermeasures on the operator's side, it is important to suppress the factors that lead to operator exposure from the equipment side. This document mainly focuses on the handling of powders and introduces the exposure prevention measures that our company, a stainless steel tank manufacturer, can propose around the tank area.

Back pain accounts for 60% of what is commonly referred to as "occupational diseases." Preventive measures against back pain are essential for achieving a safe working environment. Many of the stainless steel tanks and peripheral equipment we handle are sized and weighted to be just manageable by human power. There is a risk of placing a significant burden on the body by accumulating tasks that feel like "it's tough on the back, but I can manage with a little extra effort." That said, it may be difficult to imagine what kind of design can reduce this burden. Therefore, in this document, we will introduce products that our company, as a manufacturer, has developed to alleviate the burden on the back during daily operations, as well as examples of custom solutions that have been adopted by our customers.

When we hear from customers about their challenges regarding the introduction or updating of equipment, we sometimes receive inquiries about improving losses and yield rates. The equipment we provide can be customized from a single unit, so we make proposals to add or change components and modify designs based on the information we receive. While our proposals vary depending on the conditions of the workspace and the nature of the work, this document focuses on two processes: "input" and "output," and introduces customizations that have led to improvements in losses and yield rates, based on actual implementations.

Our company manufactures and sells tanks for craft beer. Depending on the manufacturing process, we offer three types of tanks for boiling, mashing, and fermentation. To make it easier for those who are considering starting a craft beer business to introduce equipment, we also propose and sell other related devices as a package. One of these is the "heat exchanger." A heat exchanger is a device that transfers (exchanges) thermal energy from a fluid at a higher temperature to a fluid at a lower temperature, similar to an air conditioner or radiator. Recently, we visited "Nihasan Seisakusho Co., Ltd.," which holds the top share in the domestic market for plate heat exchangers and whose products we also handle. This document will explain the basics of the heat exchangers introduced during our visit and our craft beer tanks.

Recently, we have seen an increase in inquiries from customers dealing with slurries. Here, slurry refers to a mixture of raw material pastes, particles, or powders combined with liquids such as water or solvents. For example, many customers face challenges in the mixing and storage processes with viscous slurries where binders are dissolved, or slurries with heavy, easily settling particles. In this document, we will introduce the products from our company that served as the basis for our proposals among the examples of stainless steel tanks we have suggested as slurry tanks. At MONOVATE, we customize these products by combining them with the customers' challenges, requirements, and the properties of the contents, offering tailor-made slurry tanks for each project.

★Zero-pocket structure prevents residual liquid and foreign substances from accumulating inside the valve. The silicone tube completely covers the liquid contact area, eliminating concerns about liquid pooling and contamination. The silicone tube can be easily removed for cleaning, significantly reducing cleaning time. It features a simple pinch valve structure that is easy to maintain. ★Renewed for lightweight! Installation and removal have become easier. This product has been renewed from a casting manufacturing method to a press molding method, resulting in significant weight reduction. Before renewal: 4kg → After renewal: 1.5kg, achieving over 60% weight reduction (for size 2S). Generally, a weight that can be easily held with one hand is considered to be around 1kg. When attaching or detaching the valve alone, one must hold the valve with one hand while tightening the clamp band with the other. With a heavy valve, it becomes difficult to lift it steadily, taking more time to secure it and increasing the risk of dropping the valve. With this lightweight renewal, attachment and detachment have become easier and safer, further enhancing the excellent cleaning properties of this valve.

【Smooth discharge by moving powder like a liquid, reducing labor and raw material loss】 It is used by connecting air. Air flows into the hopper, promoting the discharge by fluidizing the powder. 【Structure with excellent cleaning properties to prevent cross-contamination】 The inner hopper has fine holes that allow air to be drawn in. The interior of the holes has a structure close to straight, making it easier to clean even when powder gets inside compared to multiple layers of meshes with different roughness. This reduces the risk of contamination in cases of producing multiple types on the same line or in the pharmaceutical industry, where high hygiene levels are required. 【Would you like to experience powder fluidization?】 You can experience powder fluidization using the aeration hopper at "INTERPHEX OSAKA," one of the largest pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing technology exhibitions in Kansai!

Our stainless steel airtight containers come in two types: the CTH type with a catch clip and the CTL type with a lever band. Both types have sufficient airtightness for storage purposes, but it is unknown how much the contents would leak if the container were in an abnormal state. To verify this, we checked the leakage amount by laying both types of containers on their side in this document. What difference will there be?

Foaming can cause various troubles depending on what is being handled. For example, if the foam does not dissipate, you cannot proceed to the next process, and you may need to insert a defoaming or degassing step, or wait for the foam to dissipate naturally. This hinders work and is inefficient. In other words, even a slight reduction in the amount of foam can lead to improved work efficiency. This document summarizes the experiments conducted on "methods to suppress foaming during input."
