At Ask Corporation, the preparation of sweet sake and other products is done using an 18L pot, which presents challenges such as limitations on the amount that can be prepared, the physical burden of lifting containers, and hygiene concerns related to stirring in an open state. In this case, we introduced a unit that integrates a 60L tank, a stirrer, a pump, and a control panel on a cart, also accommodating temperature management through a chiller connection. This example demonstrates the expansion of preparation capacity, reduction of the burden of transfer work, and stabilization of temperature control and mixing.

This is a collection of case studies introducing examples of mixing tanks that utilize Bernoulli flow mixers. The Bernoulli flow mixer is equipped with the "Bernoulli flow mixing body BEAG" and generates liquid flow within the container based on a different principle (pressure difference due to centrifugal force) compared to conventional mixing bodies, achieving "less foaming" and "powerful" mixing. It is primarily suitable for mixing volumes of approximately 30 to 300 liters. If you are facing issues such as: - "It takes a long time to defoam (de-bubble) after mixing high-viscosity liquids." - "The liquid surface foams after mixing, making accurate measurement impossible." - "I want to prevent overflow when mixing foamy liquids." Please consider the Bernoulli flow mixer.

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.

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.

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.
