What causes clumping when adding powder? Design points for preventing and addressing poor dispersion.

Resolve issues of not dissolving and clumping in advance. Test the dispersibility of the protein.

The quality of protein products is greatly influenced by their dispersion state. In particular, powdered protein often faces challenges such as clumping during dissolution in water or solvents, uneven dispersion, and poor mouthfeel. Additionally, changes in formulation or raw materials can alter viscosity and dispersibility, leading to cases where there are no issues during prototyping but quality becomes unstable during mass production. This service conducts dispersion tests tailored to raw material characteristics and formulation conditions, verifying the suppression of clumping, improvement of dispersibility, and enhancement of mouthfeel. Furthermore, through process design aimed at scaling up from the lab to small machines and mass production equipment, we establish reproducible manufacturing conditions. We can support evaluations from the prototyping stage to pre-mass production verification.

Suppressing sedimentation and evenly dispersing the protein.

In the manufacturing of protein drinks, issues such as "clumping," "residue," and "sedimentation/separation" are not merely due to insufficient stirring, but are caused by factors such as powder input conditions, wettability, and the design of mixing and dispersion processes. Particularly during high-concentration formulations or the addition of functional materials, variations in quality and reduced reproducibility become problematic. Shibuya Kogyo's solid-liquid mixing and dispersion system is designed as an integrated solution from powder supply to mixing, dispersion, and formulation, enhancing the solubility and dispersion stability of proteins. Through process optimization tailored to material properties and viscosity conditions, it achieves clump suppression, uniform dispersion, and prevention of sedimentation. We provide consistent support from the research and development stage to mass production equipment, ensuring quality reproducibility during scale-up. This contributes to stable production and quality improvement in food applications. Please consult us about your current challenges.

Dispersion is not determined by the equipment. It is determined by the process design of the solid-liquid mixing dispersion system.

The occurrence of "agglomeration," "cohesion," and "viscosity increase" in dispersion processes is caused not by the equipment but by the design of the process. Poor wetting during powder input and unsuitable dispersion conditions lead to quality variations and poor redispersion, significantly compromising stability during mass production. Additionally, during scale-up, it is often impossible to reproduce the same conditions, resulting in unexpected troubles. Furthermore, every time there is a change in materials or formulations, new conditions must be established, increasing the burden of development and mass production. Shibuya Kogyo's solid-liquid mixing and dispersion system is designed to provide a consistent process from powder supply to dispersion, formulation, and CIP cleaning. By optimizing the entire process, including material properties, input conditions, and fluid design, we stabilize dispersion quality and reproducibility. Moreover, optimization across the entire line contributes to reducing losses between processes and lowering equipment load. It is not just a dispersion machine but a dispersion system that governs the entire process. By building quality from the design stage, we achieve shorter startup times and improved yields. We also provide consistent support from equipment selection to startup, reducing the burden on the site. We propose the optimal dispersion process tailored to your materials and process conditions. Please consult us about your current challenges. We support you from initial considerations to mass production startup.

Supports CNT aggregation prevention and uniform dispersion. Assists in stabilizing the quality of conductive material slurry through continuous processing.

This is a solid-liquid mixing system for conductive material slurries utilizing CNT dispersers. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) tend to agglomerate easily, and their conductivity and slurry quality are significantly affected by dispersion conditions. This system addresses CNT agglomeration through high-shear dispersion and stabilizes quality through uniform dispersion. Additionally, inline continuous processing reduces dispersion variability, improves reproducibility, and stabilizes production. It also accommodates process design that includes powder supply, dispersion, defoaming, and transfer, allowing for system proposals that combine inline dispersers, batch dispersers, static mixers, etc., according to material properties and viscosity conditions. It is utilized for improving process challenges in applications involving nano materials such as CNT conductive material slurries, battery materials, electronic materials, and high-performance materials. It is capable of supporting everything from lab tests to scale-up and mass production line construction.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply 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 made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
