The hydrogen burner-equipped aluminum melting holding furnace under development has been featured in "Die Casting News."

A test furnace based on actual equipment that uses a hydrogen burner for melting and an electric heater for holding. It is possible to conduct thorough tests for decarbonization in aluminum casting sites together with our customers!

It is possible to conduct aluminum melting tests using hydrogen combustion with ingot input. Please use it to verify the quality of the molten metal and its impact on the products. The melting gas burner employs a hydrogen burner and electric heaters for retention! It is a hybrid furnace that enables carbon neutrality. By exchanging burner components, you can switch between fuel gases (hydrogen/LNG (natural gas)/LPG), allowing for adaptability based on gas supply trends. Additionally, the furnace structure has a high oxide suppression effect, which you can verify in actual operation. We are committed to solving problems in aluminum casting sites and promoting low carbonization. Please feel free to reach out to us. ~Equipment Overview~ Test Furnace: Aluminum Handheld Melting Retention Furnace (Oxide Suppression Structure) Model: SMH-150H2 Melting Capacity: 150kg/h Retention Capacity: Retention Chamber 800kg/ch *Actual effective capacity during continuous melting, specific gravity 2.4 Melting Temperature: 660–680℃ Control Accuracy: ±5℃ ~Heat Source Configuration~ Melting Burner: Hydrogen Combustion Burner 116kW x 1 unit Retention Heater: Immersion Type Electric Heater 9kW x 2 units Fuel Used: Hydrogen (city gas 13A and propane gas are also possible) Power Supply: 200V/60Hz for power, 100V for operation

The high-temperature gas burner series now includes a hydrogen combustion specification! It can be used in various industrial furnaces due to its tile top.

The combustion range is large, allowing for stable combustion even with excess air. It is a "hydrogen burner" type using hydrogen as fuel for the high-temperature gas burner "EIS burner." The tile top (castable) can accommodate temperatures up to 1200°C! It supports preheated air up to 300°C. 【Features】 □ Achieves stable combustion and low NOx performance □ Flame shape equivalent to city gas/propane combustion □ Structure with excellent maintenance characteristics □ Simple piping system with direct ignition method You can convert your existing EIS burner to hydrogen combustion by replacing parts, allowing for evaluation tests on the impact on non-heated materials (workpieces), etc. *1 Achievements with conventional gas specifications are available. The H2 model is currently under testing. *2 Piping facilities compatible with hydrogen combustion are required. Please contact us for more details and consultation.

Contributes to improving work efficiency in aluminum casting sites for automotive parts and others. Reduces the occurrence of oxides and significantly decreases the tedious cleaning of the holding chamber. (About once every six months to a year!)

Oxide Suppression Furnace: SMH Series (Aluminum Holding Melting Furnace / Aluminum Central Melting Furnace) 【Features】 ◇ Maintains a low atmosphere temperature in the holding chamber (below 800°C) and keeps the residual oxygen concentration below 1%, utilizing the protective effect of the aluminum oxide film to slow down the progression of oxidation with a new furnace structure. ◇ Equipped with a newly developed flat frame burner to prevent agitation of the molten surface without directly applying flame to the molten metal in the holding chamber, and incorporates a heat exchanger utilizing exhaust gas for energy savings (a hybrid version using electric heaters is also available). ◇ To significantly enhance forced convection heat transfer from the matching of the furnace structure, it is equipped with a newly developed melting burner that considers flame length, flame diameter, and flame speed. 【Expected Effects】 (Compared to our conventional furnaces) By using the oxide suppression furnace... ○ Reduction in the frequency of cleaning the holding chamber (proven to be unnecessary for up to 1 year) ○ Elimination of flux treatment (may be performed in the melting chamber depending on the amount of dross) ○ Improvement in molten metal quality (reduction of hydrogen gas and inclusions in the molten metal) ○ Increased yield due to reduction in material loss ○ Improved fuel efficiency through energy savings from waste heat recovery in the holding chamber ○ Improved working environment due to reduced furnace surface temperature

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
