MONOVATE(旧：日東金属工業) Product Lineup

★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! Please visit our booth.

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."

It is used by connecting to the discharge port of a stainless steel hopper container or similar. This is a valve that opens and closes by sliding a plate-like sliding body. Its structure is simple, making it easy to disassemble and assemble during cleaning. When the valve is fully open, there are no obstacles to the flow, and the valve seat can match the same diameter as the drain port. The main body is made of stainless steel, and the sealing material is only PTFE, making surface treatments like electropolishing easy. It has almost no sealing capability for gases and liquids, and is unsuitable for flow regulation as it is intended only for use with powders and solids in fully open and fully closed positions. It is equipped with a locking function to prevent incorrect opening and closing of the valve. ○ Features - Easy to disassemble, clean, and assemble. During cleaning, it can be disassembled and assembled simply by attaching and removing the fixing butterfly bolts. No tools are required. - There are no powder accumulations, and the opening and closing port has the same diameter as the drain outlet. When fully open, there are no obstacles in the valve to impede the flow, allowing all fluids to pass through. - Surface treatment of the inner surface of the valve can be performed. Surface treatments tailored to the contents, such as electropolishing and fluororesin coating, can be done. - The size and type of fittings can be freely set for both the inlet and discharge sides.
