【1/28-30 | Tokyo】New Functional Materials Exhibition 2026

Improved stirring and degassing power, achieving IoT stirring and degassing processing with a dedicated app using a rotational and orbital mixer. Displayed and demonstrated at the New Functional Materials Exhibition!

Shinky of "Awatori Rentaro" is launching a new product, the ARE-312 mixer with self-rotation and revolution mechanism. Compared to conventional mixers of this type, it has enhanced stirring and defoaming power, allows for log saving via PC connection, and makes it easier to examine stirring conditions. Additionally, by using various dedicated applications, it enables control of stirring and defoaming, achieving IoT integration, and features an easy-to-read operation panel along with a newly added shock sensor for improved usability. ■ Exhibition Information 【Date】January 28-30, 2026, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM 【Venue】Tokyo Big Sight (West Hall) 【Booth Number】4W-C30 We will be showcasing the stirring and defoaming machine ARE-312! Please stop by during this opportunity! *We are currently accepting reservations for free demonstrations. If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact us!

• Mixer/agitator

Stirring of low to high viscosity materials and sub-micron level degassing. A rotary and orbital vacuum mixer equipped with a touch panel and communication functions.

The rotation and revolution method combined with vacuum degassing functionality allows for simultaneous mixing and defoaming/deairing, enabling the removal of bubbles down to the sub-micron level. Additionally, due to the centrifugal force generated during revolution, there is no spillage of materials during operation. The operation is as simple as setting the container and turning on the switch. 【Features】 ■ Simultaneous processing of mixing, dispersion, and removal of sub-micron level bubbles. ■ The rotation and revolution method combined with vacuum degassing functionality allows for high-precision defoaming without spillage during operation, in a short time. ■ Vacuum settings in units of 0.1 kPa, allowing for processing that takes into account the saturation vapor pressure. ■ Real-time display of progress and operating status on a touch panel. ■ Communication function (RS-232C connection) enables selection of setting conditions and starting/stopping of operation. ■ Sample source code (Python) for using the communication function is included.

A grinder that can crush materials from a minimum of 10mg to a maximum of 10g from micron level to 100 nanometers in as little as 2 minutes.

The Crushing Nano Taro NP-100 was developed using a rotational and translational method. It is a nano grinder capable of crushing small amounts of materials down to the 100-nanometer level in a short time. While dry grinding is theoretically difficult for particles smaller than 3 microns, wet grinding allows for nano grinding. 【Features】 ■ By grinding with a zirconia container and zirconia balls, contamination is minimized. ■ The chamber atmosphere can be cooled down to -20°C, allowing for safe grinding by suppressing temperature rise. ■ Materials and grinding media can be easily separated and recovered using a mesh filter after grinding. ■ Uniform dispersion of materials is possible after the separation and recovery of the media. ■ Batch processing improves workability during cleaning.

• Crusher

Adopting patented dispersion technology! Prevents variation and contamination, while also reducing running costs.

The Dispersion Nano Taro PR-1 is an ultrasonic nano disperser that can safely and reproducibly disperse aggregated nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes. With its unique dispersion technology, the "Dual Sonic Method" (patented), which rotates a container tilted at 45 degrees and irradiates ultrasound from both the side and bottom surfaces, it achieves uniform dispersion. It addresses challenges such as reproducibility, variability, and contamination that arise when dispersing with ultrasonic homogenizers or ultrasonic baths. 【Features】 ■ Ensures safety by preventing material ejection or scattering due to the sealed container ■ Only the container is a consumable, contributing to reduced running costs ■ Allows for water temperature management within the tank through the built-in cooling system ■ Suppresses contamination by irradiating ultrasound from outside the container ■ Suitable for the dispersion and deagglomeration of CNTs, graphene, talc, silica, and more ★ Awarded the "Tokyo Venture Technology Excellence Award" at the World Dissemination Competition 2019 hosted by Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

[Speaker] Masanori Hayashi Evangelist, NTT Docomo Business, Inc. Visiting Researcher, GLOCOM, International University [Key Lecture Content] The application areas of AI are expanding from generative AI to AI agents and physical AI, while the main battlefield of AI infrastructure is shifting from learning-centric to inference-centric. Against the backdrop of rapidly growing AI demand, investments and entries into AI data centers by various businesses are accelerating. However, new challenges are emerging, such as increasing power and cooling demands, responses to data sovereignty, and the utilization of GX strategy regional systems for data center aggregation. This lecture will overview the latest trends in the AI data center market and investment trends, as well as organize technological innovations such as GPUs, liquid cooling, and all-optical networks, along with policy and institutional trends and industrial challenges. Furthermore, it will envision the future of a decentralized AI infrastructure that connects AI factories, data centers, and the edge, and discuss new industrial foundations and future competitive axes through watt-bit collaboration.
