[Explanation Document] How to resolve "clogged powder!" has been registered.

Why does powder get clogged? An explanation of basic terms related to powder and methods to resolve powder clogs from the perspective of the container used for the powder!

What are the ways to resolve "powder clogging"? "Powder clogging" is a common issue when discharging powder from a container. It can lead to delays in discharge or even a complete stop, which may result in inconsistencies in product quality. But why does the powder discharge poorly (get clogged) in the first place? Here, we summarize the causes of powder clogging and the specifications of containers and peripheral equipment to resolve it.

BA material, 2B material, buff polishing, electrolytic polishing... A grand reveal of stainless steel surfaces that cannot be discerned by the naked eye!

Smooth, rough, silky... Depending on the material and surface finish, stainless steel shows various appearances. However, it is not possible to see what the actual surface looks like just by visual inspection. Therefore, this time, we will introduce photographs of stainless steel surfaces taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). *What is a scanning electron microscope (SEM)?* Unlike optical microscopes (such as magnifying glasses and general microscopes) that use light, a scanning electron microscope uses electron beams. It allows us to clearly see fine surface structures that cannot be observed with optical microscopes.

Stainless steel is a metal that is "difficult" to rust!

We sometimes receive inquiries from customers saying, "Even though it's made of stainless steel, it rusted quickly." Stainless steel, as the English words "Stain (rust, corrosion) + less (less) + steel (steel)" suggest, is an alloy of iron that is highly resistant to rust. While it is much less prone to rust compared to regular iron, it is not completely rust-proof. This PDF document summarizes "Why is stainless steel resistant to rust?", "What causes rust on rust-resistant stainless steel?", and "What are the rust prevention measures for stainless steel containers?" You can view it immediately by downloading the PDF.

Shall we process not only the container but also the lid to make it easier to use for connecting to devices and for the input of raw materials, etc.?

Stainless steel containers can be used for various purposes by customizing them, not only for storing raw materials but also for incorporating them as machine parts into equipment, connecting containers to facilities, and using them for feeding raw materials, among other applications. When customizing, we can also process the lids in addition to the containers. Here, we have summarized examples of custom-made lids for our stainless steel containers, the basic types of lids, and various lid processing options. At our company, we design and manufacture the optimal "lid" tailored to your specifications, usage environment, and applications, starting from just one piece, to ensure that our customers can use stainless steel containers comfortably.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.
