【9/9-11 | Chiba】BATTERY JAPAN Secondary Battery Exhibition

An easier-to-use standard mixer.

In the battery materials industry, uniform mixing of electrode materials and efficient degassing significantly impact product performance and stability. Particularly when handling fine particles, achieving uniform dispersion and removing air bubbles are critical challenges directly related to the charge and discharge characteristics and lifespan of batteries. Inadequate mixing or degassing can lead to performance variability and premature degradation. Shinki's "Awatori Neritaro Atmospheric Pressure Type ARE-310S" simultaneously achieves stirring and degassing in a short time, supporting the resolution of these challenges. 【Application Scenarios】 - Dispersion and homogenization of electrode materials - Prevention of fine particle agglomeration - Efficiency improvement in manufacturing processes 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Quality enhancement through uniform mixing of materials - Stabilization of product performance through bubble removal - Increased productivity through short processing times

The Awatori Rentaro ARV-501 is a rotary and orbital vacuum mixer that can simultaneously process the stirring and dispersion of materials as well as the removal of submicron-level bubbles. 【Features】 ■ Unique mechanism "Vacuum method inside the cup holder" ■ Inherits the highly durable ARE-500 drive unit refined in production environments ■ Standard equipped with a de-bubbling mode ■ Touch panel makes condition setting even easier ■ Added communication function contributes to traceability management * The maximum load capacity refers to the total mass when materials, containers, adapters, etc., are loaded into the cup holder.

• Mixer/agitator

High efficiency of material charging for small volume syringes.

The self-rotating mixer "Awatori Rentaro" and "Handa Rentaro" can easily and quickly fill syringes with materials that have been stirred, dispersed, and defoamed, without any bubbles. It can fill small capacity syringes of 3, 5, and 10 mL, allowing for the efficient handling of tasks that require small amounts. Its simple structure also makes cleaning after use easy.

• Filling and bottling machines

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.

[Instructor] Takahisa Saito, Certified Social Insurance Labor Consultant, Saito Social Insurance Labor Consultant Office [Key Lecture Content] Inspections by the Labor Standards Inspection Office can occur suddenly one day. Corporations do not have the authority to refuse them. This is called an inspection. If legal violations are clearly identified during the inspection, a corrective recommendation will be issued. It is important to know in advance how to respond before or after such a situation arises. Additionally, the ongoing work style reforms are influencing inspections by the Labor Standards Inspection Office. The number of inspections, which had decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, is now on the rise. In this seminar, we will provide a clear explanation of the overview of inspections and the preparation of reports in response to corrective recommendations, based on the enforcement of revised labor standards laws, while sharing anticipated information. Furthermore, attending in person allows for meaningful information exchange through questions and mutual confirmation. [Lecture Topics] 1. Labor Standards Inspection Office and Labor Standards Inspectors 2. Overview of Inspections 3. Preparation for Inspections (Before the Inspector Arrives) 4. Response on the Day of Inspection to Reporting 5. Issues to Consider During Inspections 6. Recent Trends 7. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
