We will be exhibiting at the National Industry Exhibition 2025 in Nagano on May 22 and 23.

This is a rotational and orbital mixer that improves stirring and degassing capabilities, realizing IoT for stirring and degassing processes through a dedicated app.

THINKY of "Awatori Rentaro" will launch a new product, the self-rotation and revolution mixer ARE-312. Compared to conventional self-rotation and revolution mixers, it has enhanced stirring and de-foaming power, allows for log storage via PC connection, and facilitates smoother examination of stirring conditions. Additionally, by using various dedicated applications, it enables control of stirring and de-foaming, achieving IoT compatibility, while also improving usability with an easy-to-read operation panel and the addition of a new impact sensor. ■ Features - Monitorable revolution speed during operation - Easy-to-read operation panel - Enhanced stirring and de-foaming power - Suppression of temperature rise in the main unit - Traceability support through communication functions and control from external devices - Ensured safety compliant with CE standards (EN61010-1:2010+A1:2019) - Capable of long-term operation with high-load materials (maximum operation time 30 minutes) - Improved safety with the addition of an impact sensor - Compatible with commercially available containers and customer containers (Containers and adapters for ARE-310 can also be used.) *Currently accepting reservations for free demos. If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact us!

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.

[Speaker] Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Research Institute, Technology and Innovation Information Department Senior Project Manager, Zhao Jian [Key Lecture Content] Low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) lithium-ion batteries are expanding their adoption worldwide. To prepare for future mass emissions, promoting their recycling is essential. However, due to the low material value of LFP batteries, ensuring the profitability of recycling operations has become a challenge. In pursuit of profitability, Chinese companies are seeking economies of scale and integrating battery material manufacturing, while in Europe and other regions, there is a focus on developing high-efficiency and high-purity recovery technologies such as direct recycling. This lecture will explain the current status, challenges, latest trends in technology development, and the impact on the battery supply chain regarding LFP battery recycling. [Lecture Items] 1. The necessity of LFP battery recycling 2. The current status of LFP battery recycling 3. Efforts to improve the profitability of LFP battery recycling 4. Impact on the supply chain & summary 5.
