Not only can we reduce the air blow electricity costs by 80% (based on actual results), but we can also significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Moreover, the performance in removing foreign substances and water droplets can be greatly improved as well.

The Hayate series air nozzles are widely used in various industries such as beverages, food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, electronic components, optics, can and bottle manufacturing, and the paper industry. ● The pinpoint type [Type C] is highly effective for removing water droplets from the cap of PET bottles. ● The selectable width type [Type F] is used for candy containers, retort pouches, and semiconductor components. ● The fan-shaped power mist type [Type W] is used as a cleaning nozzle for medical containers and cold dessert molds. ● The air discharge type [Type G] is also ideal for air transport. Please try the Hayate air nozzles for various applications! 【Product Lineup】 ■ Type G: Discharges air along a guide. ■ Type F: Discharges thin sheets of air with selectable discharge width. ■ Type S: Discharges thin sheets of air. ■ Type V: Discharges fan-shaped air. ■ Type W: Discharges fan-shaped power mist. ■ Type T: Discharges conical air. ■ Type C: Discharges cylindrical air for pinpoint use. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Hello everyone! We are Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd., a specialized manufacturer of contract processing for fluororesin coatings and PEEK coatings. Thank you very much for visiting our booth at the recent "Mechanical Elements Technology Exhibition." Thanks to you, we were able to conclude the event successfully. At the exhibition, we proposed surface treatment solutions for the "five challenges (release, sliding, corrosion resistance, impurity measures, and environmental response)" that arise in manufacturing sites. Were there any technologies that caught your interest? ■ We are currently responding to inquiries made at the venue We are sequentially contacting those who made technical inquiries or requests for prototypes at our booth on the day of the event. If you have requests such as "I would like you to look at additional drawings" or "I need a quote urgently," please feel free to let us know. ■ For those who could not attend the exhibition or missed our booth We also welcome inquiries from customers who could not come to the venue, such as "coating for special shapes that other companies have declined" or "switching from existing coatings." If you have any concerns regarding "surfaces," please feel free to consult or contact us.

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity that allows for real-time visualization of the suspended and adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, manufacturing equipment, and factory environments, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can lead to quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that causes yield reduction

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" or "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.
