Case Study on the Introduction of Donaldson Process Filters at a Craft Beer Brewery (Overview)

At the brewery in Kochi Prefecture, they were considering not only serving beer at the restaurant adjacent to the factory but also offering it in cans with a longer shelf life and allowing for room temperature distribution. In addition to the clarification process, a sterilization process was also necessary, but they were exploring non-thermal methods to avoid compromising flavor. Centrifuges and pasteurizers were among the candidates, but of course, cost considerations were also important, and they were looking into other options. <For more details, please refer to the downloadable PDF or contact us.> Products Introduced: - Modular skid - Bag filter element: L-BE liquid bag filter → Removal of hop debris and large turbidity components - Trap filter element: Absolute filtration depth filter "PP100 N-TR" - Fine filter: Liquid process filter element "PP100N" → Clarification process: Clarification and removal of residual yeast - Final membrane filter element: Sterilization grade membrane filter "PES-BN" → Stabilization (sterilization) process: Complete removal of residual yeast and bacteria removal

Process cartridge filter capable of removing narrow contaminants that affect beer quality, suppressing off-flavors, and controlling clarity.

By using filters for the removal of residual yeast and bacteria, we provide microbial stabilization that eliminates the need for heat treatment. Donaldson's process cartridge filters are available for beer filtration and low-temperature stabilization. *Low-temperature stabilization: Instead of low-temperature pasteurization, sterilizing filtration is performed to remove microorganisms that cause spoilage.* We offer a range of sizes with flow capacities from small flows up to approximately 2400 Ltr/H. Therefore, they can be used with tanks currently in operation (ranging from a few hundred liters to 4000 liters). With a simple combination of filters, we enable the adjustment of beer. [Products for Beer Filtration] - Filter unit housing with valve: Modular skid - Coarse filtration immediately after fermentation tank: L-BE - Prefilter: PP100 N-TR - Fine filter: PP100 N [Products for Low-Temperature Stabilization] - Filter unit housing with valve: Modular skid - For the removal of residual yeast and bacteria: PES-BN Please contact us for information on our achievements in beer filtration and low-temperature stabilization.

CLT, which has been widely adopted in the construction field, is now expanding its applications into the civil engineering sector. The "Hyper CLT Mats" are civil engineering CLT products that utilize wood CLT as temporary materials. Traditionally, steel plates have been the mainstream choice for temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery yards. The Hyper CLT Mats introduce a new option of "wood" to that market. The 5x10 mats weigh approximately 230 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove with small machinery, with a maximum capacity of 40 mats on a 10-ton truck. They also have advantages in terms of workability and transportation efficiency. Moreover, they offer added value that can only be achieved with wood, such as glare reduction, noise control, CO2 fixation, and consideration for aesthetics. This product is expected to be a new proposal for not only construction companies but also building material firms, lumber companies, and material trading companies. It is a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS, with the registration number "TH-250021-A." The use of wood is not limited to construction anymore. The utilization of Hyper CLT Mats is expanding as a new market that connects civil engineering and wood.

Fukuda Corporation has been pursuing leak detection for 60 years and is dedicated to advancing the future of leak testing. 【 Supporting Various Leak Tests: Air Leak Test / Gas Leak Test (Hydrogen Gas, Helium Gas) 】 We develop, manufacture, and sell leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance. We will propose suitable testers and devices for each inspection target. 【 Target Industries and Examples of Inspection Targets 】 - Automotive Industry: Engines, FC components, valves and piping, various parts - Electronic Components Industry: Smartphones, keyless switches, various small sensors - Pharmaceuticals / Food / Cosmetics Industry: Bottle containers, syringes, vials, eye drop containers, pillow packaging, PTP packaging We will propose the most suitable leak testers for each industry. 【 ISO Certification 】JIS Q 9001:2015 (ISO 9001:2015)

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding 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 Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks 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 performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
