[Explanation Document] Registered glass essential for the "visualization" of stainless steel containers.

I have compiled basic knowledge about glass and glass products that can be used in combination with stainless steel containers.

By combining glass products with stainless steel containers, we can eliminate the disadvantages of stainless steel containers and make them more comfortable to use. Here, we will briefly introduce the types of glass and their relationship with stainless steel containers.

• Stainless steel container

A stainless steel sight glass that prevents glass from falling off when removed from the hull.

You can check the internal condition of the container by attaching it to the helix. It is safe because the glass does not fall off when removing it from the helix. It is a highly hygienic viewing window that can be completely disassembled, cleaned, and sterilized. The wetted parts are made of SUS316L, which has excellent corrosion resistance. The inner surface is tapered to maximize the field of view.

I will clear the fog on the window with a wiper blade!

This is a sight glass with a wiper that can be installed on a helix. You can check the contents inside the stainless container. Even when the window fogs up due to steam or when the contents splatter and dirty the window, you can maintain a clear view. When the window fogs up, simply turn the handle half a turn! The wiper blade will clear the fog. If your current equipment or tank lid has helix piping, it can be installed immediately. 【It is useful in the following situations】 - When heating a liquid, the sight glass fogs up with steam and visibility is lost. - During stirring, the contents may splatter, dirtying the window and obstructing the view.

• Stainless steel utensils and containers

Easy to attach and detach with a rule connection! Quickly check inside the dark container! Plus, it's a waterproof and cordless fixed LED light!

It is installed in the "viewing window [NM]" located on the stainless steel tank's elbow fitting and is used to check the condition inside the stainless steel container or its contents. ● Features - Drip-proof design - Uses a compact, low-heat, high-brightness cordless LED light - Comes with a clamp band for easy installation and removal. ● Lineup - Case type [LC] The LED light is housed in a stainless steel case, protecting it from corrosive splashes and contents. - Arm type [LA] With a stainless steel arm, the angle of the light can be adjusted, allowing you to direct the light to the area you want to see.

We have summarized two tests conducted at our company: the "penetrant testing" of stainless steel containers and the "pressure vessel inspection."

Our company conducts various inspections to maintain the quality of our products. Additionally, if requested by customers, we may perform inspections tailored to their preferences. Here, we will introduce the color check (penetrant testing) and the inspection of pressure vessels among the inspections of our stainless steel containers. However, what is written here represents only a portion of the inspections we conduct, and in reality, there are many other types as well. We hope this explanatory document will serve as a reference when considering stainless steel containers.

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.

I have summarized the important cleaning methods to make stainless steel containers last longer.

After using a stainless steel container, it is essential to clean the container. However, incorrect cleaning methods can cause scratches or lead to rust. Here, we will introduce important cleaning methods to help prolong the life of stainless steel containers.

Easy to wash without tools and essential for containers and piping: a summary of the mechanism and related products of "Herl fittings."

When flowing or pouring water and raw materials into stainless steel containers or equipment, I believe that pipes and valves are connected to the containers or equipment. When connecting these, threaded fittings such as sockets and nipples, as well as "fittings" like flanges and hygienic fittings, are used. Here, we will introduce "hygienic fittings," which are used in processes that require a more sanitary environment, including their applications, types, and related products.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out 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. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● 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! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
