[Cutter Case Study] Significant Improvement in Production Efficiency

The replacement and adjustment of cutters take time, sometimes even more than half a day, and since the machine stops during replacement, there was a challenge of reduced production volume. This issue has been resolved!

We would like to introduce a case study that addresses the concerns of customers who want to reduce the frequency of cutter replacements for food packaging machines. ■Concern Replacing and adjusting the cutter takes a lot of time, sometimes more than half a day, and during replacements, the machine stops, leading to a decrease in production volume and affecting the production line of the previous process. Additionally, since iron and stainless steel blades required frequent replacement, we were looking for ways to reduce the replacement work. ■Proposal Ultra-hard cutter NOVAS for food packaging machines ■Result Previously, iron cutter blades were replaced and adjusted once a month, but after switching to our product, the replacement frequency changed to approximately once every two years, significantly improving production efficiency. Moreover, we were able to reduce the risk of injuries that occurred during cutter replacements, contributing to a reform in the working style of on-site employees. ■Case Summary - Issue: Replacing and adjusting the cutter takes time, and the machine stops, leading to reduced production volume. - Proposed product points: Improved production efficiency, reduced unnecessary work, enhanced safety. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

● What is a hydrogen leak detector? It can measure leaks in small areas that could not be detected in air leak tests and can also identify the leak locations. It is a detector that uses a mixture of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen (non-flammable gas: ISO10156:2017) as the tracer gas. ● What is a helium leak test system? It is a leak test system suitable for high-precision or high-pressure leak inspections. The helium leak test system uses helium gas as the detection gas (tracer gas) and detects the helium that has leaked out. It is the leak test method among Fukuda's leak testers that can detect the smallest leaks.

The 【 HDA-0100 series 】 currently available from Fukuda Corporation is a "Portable Hydrogen Leak Detector." ■ Compact and lightweight, convenient for carrying (approximately 400 g, including battery) ■ Battery-operated and cordless (continuous usage time of approximately 8 hours) ■ High sensitivity and wide range (0.5 ppm to 5000 ppm) hydrogen measurement is possible in a handy type It has features such as these. "What is a Hydrogen Leak Detector?" It is a tester that can measure leaks in small areas that could not be measured in air leak tests and can also identify leak points. It uses a tracer gas consisting of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen, an industrial mixed gas (non-flammable gas: ISO10156:2017).

● What is a flow meter? Flow meters measure flow rates using mass flow meters or laminar flow meters and perform pass/fail judgments based on flow rate criteria. They are ideal for measuring airflow and conducting performance tests. "FMZ-1063 series" This is a flow tester equipped with a mass flow meter. It offers high precision of ± 3.5 % of R.D. ± 1 digit (in the normal flow range). It features a time-saving function (scan measurement). The FMZ-1063 is a compact, all-in-one flow tester with various functions. "FU series" This is a flow measurement unit that integrates laminar and differential pressure sensors, making it smaller and lighter. When connected to a display indicator (model: MI-170), it can provide direct flow readings as well as pressure and flow judgments. "FLF-110 series" This is a laminar flow meter capable of measuring a wide range of flow rates from 2 NmL/min to 500 NL/min.
