Achieves high pump performance in a compact size. Supports wafer manufacturing.

In the semiconductor industry, particularly in wafer manufacturing, precise control of the vacuum environment is a crucial factor that affects product quality and yield. To prevent foreign matter from adhering to the wafer surface and to ensure uniform processing, it is essential to maintain a stable vacuum level. If the vacuum level is unstable, it can lead to deterioration in wafer quality and delays in the manufacturing process. The NVC830.3 series achieves precise control of the vacuum environment in the wafer manufacturing process through closed-loop vacuum control, ensuring stable quality and high productivity. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Wafer transport - Etching process - Film deposition process 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved yield through stabilization of vacuum levels - Increased productivity through process optimization - Enhanced product quality

Stable supply of reagents through flow control. Contributing to the efficiency of mining.

In the mining sector, the accurate supply of reagents influences the precision of the extraction process and analysis. If the flow rate of the reagents is unstable, the reliability of the analysis results may be compromised, and the efficiency of the process may decline. The FMS-FC 1.400 metering pump with flow control achieves a stable flow rate through closed-loop control, addressing the challenges of reagent supply in mining. 【Application Scenarios】 - Ore analysis - Flotation concentration - Reagent mixing 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved analysis accuracy through stable reagent supply - Enhanced process efficiency - Consistent flow supply throughout the product's lifespan

In public construction civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheets are used as common temporary facilities, such as construction roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates were common, but due to their weight, transportation and installation can be cumbersome. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil engineering use. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to transport, install, and remove, even with small machinery. They can be widely utilized for temporary roads, heavy machinery scaffolding, pathways within the site, and protection of material storage in public works. Since they are made of wood, they also contribute to environmental aspects such as reducing summer heat reflection, lowering noise, and fixing CO2. They can simultaneously address construction efficiency, safety measures, and environmental considerations, making them effective for innovative proposals in public works. Furthermore, they improve transportation efficiency and reduce labor in site operations as an alternative to steel plates. Hyper CLT sheets are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering civil engineering, civil engineering use, and civil engineering CLT. Feel free to request materials or consult about implementation. They are temporary materials that also help improve site evaluations in public works. Please consider them.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.
