Magnet filter to prevent the contamination of magnetic foreign substances. With a triangular-shaped magnet bar, it prevents the accumulation of powder particles and the re-entry of foreign substances. ○ This is a magnet filter with a hygienic connection that can be easily connected to piping, such as at the bottom of a supply hopper. ○ The triangular magnets generate magnetic force around the entire perimeter, attracting magnetic foreign substances. ○ The triangular shape allows powder particles to flow smoothly without accumulating on the magnet bar, unlike round shapes. ○ The rounded bottom corners ensure that once foreign substances are attracted, they escape to the bottom, preventing re-entry due to being pushed by powder particles. ○ The magnet bar features full perimeter welding and a smooth finish, offering excellent sanitary properties. ○ The filter exterior can be easily opened and closed with clips.

Smooth, rough, silky... Depending on the material and surface finish, stainless steel shows various appearances. However, it is not possible to see what the actual surface looks like just by visual inspection. Therefore, this time, we will introduce photographs of stainless steel surfaces taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). *What is a scanning electron microscope (SEM)?* Unlike optical microscopes (such as magnifying glasses and general microscopes) that use light, a scanning electron microscope uses electron beams. It allows us to clearly see fine surface structures that cannot be observed with optical microscopes.

The surface of the beautiful stainless steel container reflects like a mirror. Did you know that this beauty is not a characteristic of the material itself, but rather something artificially created? Generally, the surface of stainless steel containers is polished to a shine by a method called buff polishing, done by human hands. Here, we summarize a type of polishing method used to finish the surface of stainless steel, known as buff polishing.

When flowing or pouring water and raw materials into stainless steel containers or equipment, I believe that pipes and valves are connected to the containers or equipment. When connecting these, threaded fittings such as sockets and nipples, as well as "fittings" like flanges and hygienic fittings, are used. Here, we will introduce "hygienic fittings," which are used in processes that require a more sanitary environment, including their applications, types, and related products.

1. Pressure Transfer of Gyoza Filling Nitto Metal Industry Co., Ltd. offers rental of demonstration machines. This time, we received a request from a food user to create a container for transferring gyoza filling under pressure, and we will conduct a pressure transfer experiment using our demonstration machine. We will share part of the results. 2. Pressure Rupture Experiment of Jacket Containers Jacket containers are stainless steel containers that allow for temperature control. However, there are times when customers mistakenly apply pressure to the jacket container, leading to its rupture. Such ruptures can result in injuries to operators and significant accidents due to the splattering of the liquid inside. We conducted an experiment to determine how dangerous it is when pressure is applied to a jacket container. 3. Transferring High Viscosity Liquids Without Spillage "Do anti-drip beakers prevent any liquid from dripping?" High viscosity liquids take time to clean up when spilled. When dealing with hazardous liquids, it is even more crucial to prevent drips. In this experiment, we used our anti-drip beaker to transfer a high viscosity liquid. Can we successfully transfer the high viscosity liquid without spilling it around?

We sometimes receive inquiries from customers saying, "Even though it's made of stainless steel, it rusted quickly." Stainless steel, as the English words "Stain (rust, corrosion) + less (less) + steel (steel)" suggest, is an alloy of iron that is highly resistant to rust. While it is much less prone to rust compared to regular iron, it is not completely rust-proof. This PDF document summarizes "Why is stainless steel resistant to rust?", "What causes rust on rust-resistant stainless steel?", and "What are the rust prevention measures for stainless steel containers?" You can view it immediately by downloading the PDF.

"Burring" refers to a processing technique where a hole is made in a material and the edges of that hole are extended in a cylindrical shape. This technology is generally used to secure screw threads, but at Nitto Metal Industry, it is employed for purposes such as improving the cleanability of containers. In industries such as pharmaceuticals and food, where preventing foreign matter contamination is particularly emphasized, stainless steel containers are often used due to their resistance to rust and hygienic properties. The "cleanability," characterized by the difficulty of dirt accumulation and ease of cleaning, is an important point in equipment selection. The processing technique that demonstrates effectiveness in this regard is the "burring process" that we will introduce here. This document will outline the methods and purposes of burring processing at our company.

Have you ever experienced the following issues while using stainless steel containers? - Contents or dirt getting trapped in the rim of the container, making it impossible to remove. - Dirt accumulating on the handle, causing inconvenience. - Taking a long time to remove dirt or cleaning solution that has entered the gaps of the container during the cleaning process. When dirt or foreign substances get into the gaps of the container, they are difficult to remove. This not only prolongs the cleaning process but also the residual dirt or cleaning solution can lead to foreign matter contamination or cross-contamination. So, what kind of stainless steel containers can help reduce cleaning time?

• Stainless steel container

Using a stainless steel tank with a jacket (outer shell), when hot water or steam is circulated inside the jacket, the surface of the tank also becomes high in temperature. This can lead to an increase in the working environment temperature due to heat radiation from the tank, or if the room temperature is low, it may take a long time for the tank temperature to rise. Additionally, there is a risk of burns if someone accidentally touches the high-temperature tank. Here, we will introduce methods for insulating the jacketed tank.
