• Crusher

We would like to introduce a case where the UC series single-shaft crusher was introduced as a dedicated aluminum crushing machine.

【Case Study of Problem Solving】 ■Effects of Implementation When crushing aluminum of various shapes, the shredder produces shreds of the expected size, allowing for the discharge of materials suitable for downstream processes. ■Deciding Factors for Purchase The noise level during shredding was lower compared to other companies, and the processing capacity exceeded expectations. The ability to address both pre- and post-crusher equipment as a package was a key factor in the purchase decision. ■Model Introduced ・UC-200 (200kw) ・Screen Size: φ60 ・Features: Dedicated aluminum crushing machine *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Crusher

Recycling/energy recovery of 30 tons/month of waste generated within the company with added value.

**Case Study on Problem Solving** ■Effects of Implementation By crushing approximately 30 tons/month of waste generated in-house, such as poly drums, we were able to add value and recycle or convert it into fuel. ■Factors in Purchase Decision - It can effortlessly crush difficult-to-process materials like FIBC bags. The precision is excellent, and the cutting performance is outstanding. - Compared to other companies, the lower running costs were a decisive factor in the purchase. ■Model Introduced - UC-75 (75kw) - Screen size: φ30mm - Various conveyor systems for downstream equipment *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

• Crusher

Active in the stable crushing of mixed plastic home appliances.

**Case Study on Problem Solving** ■ Effects of Implementation When crushing mixed plastic from home appliances, it can be coarsely crushed to the expected size, allowing for stable flow to downstream processes. ■ Deciding Factors for Purchase - Due to its low-speed rotation, the noise during crushing is very low, and the processing capacity met the expected test evaluations. - Compared to other companies, the initial and running costs were lower, which was a decisive factor for the purchase. ■ Model Introduced - UC-45 (45kw) - Screen Size: φ40mm - Application: Primary crushing of mixed plastic from home appliances *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

Our company has added new products "MRS-019" and "MRS-020BK" to the "MRS Coating" series, which exhibits excellent release properties for adhesives, resins, and adhesive tapes, intended for use in food contact applications. We propose these as a new option for environments where compliance with regulations and high release performance are both required for equipment and components that come into contact with food. The MRS Coating series offers a range of surface treatments that not only provide excellent non-stick properties but also feature solvent resistance and high hardness, which are not found in traditional silicone treatments. In food manufacturing processes that handle materials prone to sticking, such as rice, dough, and seasonings, it contributes to reducing adhesion issues, lowering cleaning burdens, and improving work efficiency. You can utilize this coating on metal components that come into contact with food, such as conveyor parts, hoppers, chutes, guides, plates, and components of filling and molding equipment.

Our company will be exhibiting at the largest agricultural and livestock exhibition in Japan, the "4th Kyushu Agricultural WEEK Livestock Materials EXPO," which will be held at Gran Messe Kumamoto from May 27 (Wednesday) to May 29 (Friday), 2026. This material is a new type that enables zero-energy cooling by converting heat into infrared radiation and emitting it into space, without using any external power. By implementing it on building roofs and outdoor electrical equipment, it helps suppress internal temperature rises, contributes to maintaining and improving food productivity, ensures stable operation of equipment, and reduces air conditioning energy consumption. It is being recognized as a new carbon-neutral technology. Due to its energy-saving performance, this material has received the 2025 Energy Conservation Award. We invite you to visit our booth when you come to the venue. Exhibition Overview: Dates: May 27 (Wednesday) to May 29 (Friday), 2026, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Venue: Gran Messe Kumamoto Our Booth Number: 5-66 (High-Temperature Countermeasures and Weather Risk Response Fair Zone) Moving forward, our company will continue to contribute to maintaining and improving food productivity through reducing internal temperature and air conditioning energy consumption, supporting Japan's agricultural and livestock industries as a behind-the-scenes player, and working on the evolution of product performance, durability, and application methods.

We are pleased to announce that our waterproof sheet "Innovation Proof RR," integrated with our radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL," has been introduced in two elementary schools in Setagaya, Tokyo. In recent years, the severe heat during summer has worsened the environment in schools. A report by UNICEF points out that high temperatures may affect school attendance rates and children's concentration. Additionally, in Japan, there have been many cases of heatstroke occurring during physical education and sports activities under school management, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has reported that school sports activities are closely related to children's heat exposure risks. Furthermore, the heatstroke prevention guidelines for school sports specify criteria for exercise implementation based on the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature), indicating that specialized management is necessary for activities in hot environments. As the need for heat countermeasures in schools has become more urgent than ever, we aim to contribute to creating a more comfortable educational environment for teachers and students by introducing our radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL," which cools spaces with zero energy, thereby reducing heat gain from roofs and lowering indoor temperatures in gymnasiums and school buildings.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in 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 the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. 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.
