What is the relationship between viscosity and dispersion efficiency? The reason why dispersion becomes difficult under high viscosity conditions.

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 high-viscosity dispersion of positive and negative electrode slurries. Assists in quality stabilization and mass production scale-up through continuous processing.

This is an inline dispersion system designed for high solid content and high viscosity slurries used in battery materials. It achieves uniform dispersion through high shear dispersion for materials that are prone to aggregation, such as positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, conductive materials, and CNT dispersions. The inline continuous processing reduces dispersion variability, improves quality reproducibility, and stabilizes production. Additionally, it supports process design that includes powder supply, dispersion, degassing, and transfer. By optimizing powder supply conditions, shear conditions, circulation conditions, and temperature control conditions, it helps stabilize slurry quality. It supports consistent scale-up from lab tests to pilot validation and mass production lines. It is utilized to address specific process challenges of battery material slurries, such as viscosity increase due to high solid content, sedimentation, agglomeration, and CNT aggregation. Furthermore, based on processing volume and material characteristics, it is also possible to propose systems that combine inline dispersers, batch-type dispersers, static mixers, and more.

Inline dispersion system for continuous processing and stable dispersion of high-viscosity slurries.

This is a solid-liquid mixing system designed for high-viscosity slurries, utilizing an inline disperser. In high solid content slurries and high-viscosity materials, uneven dispersion and quality variations are likely to occur during batch processing. This inline disperser system maintains stable dispersion conditions through continuous processing, achieving highly reproducible slurry production. It addresses aggregation issues and ensures uniform dispersion through high-shear dispersion, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including battery materials, electronic materials, CNTs, and high-performance materials. Additionally, rather than just the disperser alone, the entire process including powder supply, dispersion, degassing, and transfer is designed. We propose the optimal system that includes inline and batch dispersers according to material properties, viscosity, and processing volume. In high-viscosity slurries, clumping during powder input and momentary concentration fluctuations due to uneven supply significantly impact dispersion quality. Shibuya supports quality stabilization and continuous productivity improvement through system proposals that encompass powder supply equipment, dispersers, degassing equipment, and piping design. We can accommodate everything from lab tests to scale-up and mass production line construction.

We would like to introduce MotionCatch as a monitoring sensor that can be used to understand office occupancy. Using millimeter-wave radar and AI, it non-contactly detects human movement and occupancy status. Since it does not use a camera and does not record images, it can be considered for installation in places where cameras are difficult to place, such as conference rooms, private rooms, and work areas. 【Suitable for the following situations】 - Understanding whether conference rooms are actually in use - Monitoring occupancy and absence in private rooms and work areas - Checking if absences are prolonged It can be installed on walls or ceilings and has a design that easily blends into existing spaces. Product materials and a comparison table of monitoring sensors can be downloaded from the related catalog below. We also welcome inquiries regarding the conditions for rooms where installation is possible and the number of units, so please feel free to contact us.

One of the major strengths of the Hyper CLT sheet is that it is a technology registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS. The NETIS registration number is **"TH-250021-A."** In public works, it is important to explain to the client "why we are introducing it" and "what effects we expect" when adopting new materials. If it is a NETIS registered technology, it becomes easier to connect it to proposals for the utilization of new technologies and creative ideas. The Hyper CLT sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes wood CLT. It is lightweight and easy to install and remove, and it has characteristics unique to wood, such as reducing summer heat reflection and noise, and fixing CO2. It is important to be able to propose it not just as "wooden sheets," but as a civil engineering technology registered with NETIS. The Hyper CLT sheet, which combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, is a new temporary material that makes it easier to clearly demonstrate the reasons for its introduction in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair 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" 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 at all. Repairs can be made even 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 or download the catalog.

The applications of Hyper CLT sheets are not limited to specific locations. Essentially, many civil engineering sites that have previously used steel plates are candidates for consideration. Wood CLT can be utilized in various places such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material yards, storage areas, temporary parking lots, and worker pathways. Of course, there are cases where steel plates are more suitable depending on site conditions, such as in areas with heavy loads or where heavy machinery needs to turn. The important thing is not to replace everything, but to use them appropriately according to the ground conditions, machinery, and intended use. Hyper CLT sheets are lightweight, easy to install and remove, and have unique characteristics of wood, such as reducing glare and metallic sounds, and fixing CO2. Furthermore, it is a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS "TH-250021-A."** By utilizing wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, it provides a new option for places that have previously used steel plates.
