Automate the attachment and detachment of pipes and hoses for powders and slurries (injection and discharge)! Of course, it can also handle liquids, solvents, gases, and electricity.

This is a device that automates the connection work of pipes and hoses in powder and slurry lines. It enables automatic feeding and dispensing from tanks and containers. We provide custom solutions tailored to each customer's equipment, from individual connectors (couplers) to complete systems including operation panels and control panels. It can be implemented for liquids and various solvents, as well as powders, pellets, slurries, and strong acid lines. It can also be equipped with bridge removal and cleaning functions. It is adopted across a wide range of industries, including material and material manufacturers, semiconductor manufacturers, battery manufacturers, automotive manufacturers, steel manufacturers, and chemical, food, and beverage manufacturers, and can be used in explosion-proof environments. Additionally, we have numerous achievements in lines for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, various gases, liquids, various solvents, food, beverages, alcoholic beverages, and electricity.

You can easily and safely perform the Heller clamp connection work with one hand.

This is a new product developed in collaboration with PACRAFT (part of the same Nabtesco Group as our company). *Patent and trademark applications have been filed. Traditionally, the process of attaching and detaching the Heller clamp took about 20 seconds to 1 minute. Additionally, when attaching it to the piping after cleaning, there were instances where the gasket would fall to the floor, necessitating re-cleaning, leading to time loss during setup changes and piping cleaning. Our Quitto allows anyone to easily attach and detach with one hand. With its unique structure, it presses a large gasket while being attached, completing the process in just a few seconds. The gasket is securely fixed to the piping, significantly reducing the risk of dropping it on the floor during attachment. By using it in existing Heller clamp connection points where frequent attachment and detachment occurs (such as at the end of hoses), it contributes to increased productivity and safety. We also have demo units available, so please feel free to reach out if you're interested.

[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.
