[All 3 cases are now available!] Self-Regulating Heater Case Studies

From steam to self-regulating heater, preventing recrystallization.

At the Mitsui Sugar Co., Ltd. Kobe Factory in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, self-regulating heaters were installed to prevent the re-crystallization of liquid sugar. Previously, warm air was directly blown into the liquid sugar tank, causing the liquid sugar to re-crystallize, which clogged the strainer (a mesh device used to remove solid components from liquids), resulting in longer shipping times and becoming a challenge. A self-regulating heater was proposed for heating the liquid sugar, which is prone to quality changes, and it was wrapped around the lower part of the liquid sugar tank to provide external heating. After installation, the introduction of the self-regulating heater reduced primary energy consumption by 56% due to the elimination of the need for heating and the resolution of heat loss. The prevention of re-crystallization shortened shipping times by 30 minutes annually, and the need for strainer cleaning was eliminated, achieving reduced maintenance. Furthermore, temperature uniformity improved quality and reduced the risk of microbial growth.

Introducing self-regulating heaters as a heat source for insulating resin tanks! Achieving low maintenance and quality preservation.

At Sanyurek Co., Ltd., we have expanded our production capacity by installing above-ground tanks for resin storage and additional piping to transfer resin from these tanks to the production process. Due to quality requirements, the resin needs to be maintained at a temperature of 50°C to 60°C, and we have adopted self-regulating heaters as the heat source. These heaters, which have high safety features and are explosion-proof, require almost no maintenance, thereby reducing the burden on equipment personnel. Additionally, their excellent temperature control allows for the maintenance of high product quality. 【Key Factors for Introduction】 - No risks associated with hot water tracing, while providing excellent temperature control - Achieves temperature uniformity comparable to hot water tracing - Ensures stable product supply even in the event of heater failure *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Eliminate snow slide risks with the introduction of the self-regulating heater EM2-R!

We installed self-regulating heaters to prevent snow accumulation on the Oya River Bridge adjacent to the Yabu IC of the Northern Kinki Toyooka Expressway. The arch bridge, located in a snowfall area, has experienced instances where snow accumulated on the left and right arch ribs fell and damaged vehicles passing underneath, which has been a concern. The focus was not on completely melting the snow on the bridge but rather on preventing the accumulated snow from falling onto the roadway and making it less likely to accumulate again after it has been removed. Before the installation, snow removal was done manually using a high-altitude work vehicle, but after the installation, the bridge became a safe structure with no concerns about falling snow even in winter. ■ Benefits of Introducing Self-Regulating Heaters - There is no risk of abnormal overheating or burnout without using a thermostat. - Reliable and safe electric heating and insulation can be achieved. - Due to its continuous parallel circuit structure, it can be cut to the required length on-site for use. *For more details, please download the materials from the PDF download button or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce "BIC 10" handled by FCR and Bio Co., Ltd. This product is a jacket tube with a rack lid lock and rotation prevention feature (compatible capacity 8.1ml). For products equipped with the Rack ID function, a 2D code for Rack ID is added to the bottom surface of the rack, allowing simultaneous reading of the Tube ID (bottom surface 2D code) and Rack ID, thereby reducing stress on samples during the reading process. Additionally, the screw cap for 24 holes does not use sealing materials, ensuring good sealability and safe usage. 【Features】 ■ Polypropylene ■ Autoclavable ■ DMSO compatible ■ Compatible with liquid nitrogen vapor *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out 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. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Fukuda Co., Ltd., which develops, manufactures, and sells leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance, provides a technical document that clearly explains the methods and theories of airtight testing, titled "Technical Manual." We are offering it as a PDF file. Please take this opportunity to download and view it!
