Easy with 90-degree operation! Prevents over-tightening and damage! We solve concerns like "I'm worried if it's securely tightened..."

The "BQL400NB model" is a rapid-opening and closing type handle diaphragm valve from BioClean. While the standard handle version requires about 5 turns of operation (for DN50), the rapid-opening and closing handle allows for a very simple operation of just 【opening and closing by 90 degrees】. The position of the handle makes it clear to see the valve's open and close status even from a distance. Additionally, it has achieved a lighter and more compact design compared to conventional products. Please try the easy operation and stable sealing performance of the 90-degree rotating lever handle. 【We solve the following problems!】 ■ The opening and closing torque is excessive. → It can be reduced, greatly contributing to labor savings. ■ I want to check the open and close status from a distance. → The handle position clearly shows the valve's open and close status even from afar. ■ The valve is damaged due to over-tightening. → Only the minimum necessary operation is required. This prevents damage and extends lifespan. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

[Instructor] Shintaro Fukasawa, President of BM Consulting Co., Ltd. Business Mathematics Educator [Key Lecture Content] There are things we somewhat think about. However, when asked for our opinions, we hesitate to speak up because we dread being questioned with "What is your basis?" This is a growing issue among business professionals. Shintaro Fukasawa, the only advocate of business mathematics in Japan and a business mathematics educator, identifies the inability of modern business people to articulate their thoughts and ideas as a "symptom." He finds commonalities between mathematical thinking and verbalization, and has developed a verbalization framework that anyone can easily practice. This content has been compiled into a book titled "How Can an Idea Become 'My Opinion'? - A Class to Turn Intuition into Logical Opinions" (2023). In this session, we will extract the essence of that book and explain how to create "logical and communicative opinions." You will take home tips that will dramatically change your business communication starting tomorrow.
