Proven track record in components for artificial dialysis system piping and beverage piping!

The characteristics of fluoropolymer, such as "non-stickiness (difficulty for components and dirt to adhere)," "high heat resistance," and "resistance to strong acids and alkalis," combined with Yowa's processing technology, have achieved a reduction in cleaning time. - The cleaning time for piping components carrying high-viscosity liquids has been shortened. - In piping used for producing multiple beverages, there is no adhesion of components, resulting in reduced residual odors from previously flowing beverages and shortened cleaning time. - Cleaning with hot water is desired for sterilization. Sterilization is needed in high-temperature environments. - The cleaning solution is resistant to strong acids and alkalis, leading to a reduction in cleaning time.

Up to 70% smaller! Achieve downsizing of piping structures with weld-free piping that requires no assembly.

Through our unique PFA welding technology, we directly connect fittings to each other and join tubes to machined manifolds, forming a piping structure. - Fittings are directly connected, resulting in a more compact piping system. - Assembly is no longer required, reducing assembly labor. - There are no leaks due to the connection between fittings and tubes or the switch from welded piping. - By combining with machined products, multi-port manifolds can be achieved even in small diameters (Φ4 and above). - The number of parts has been reduced, leading to cost savings. - We can accommodate everything from small quantities to mass production by combining with machining and injection molding.

For medical applications such as dialysis tubing, catheters, and endoscopes. For your medical device concerns, leave it to Yowa, specializing in fluoropolymer processing.

PFA welding is a joining method that differs from welding techniques, as it integrates the objects by heating and melting the joining surfaces and applying pressure. The joint area achieves strength equivalent to that of the base material, similar to welding methods. 【Characteristics of Fluoropolymer: "C-F Bond"】 Fluoropolymers have a strong bond between carbon (C) and fluorine (F) atoms known as the "C-F bond," which results in high bond energy and a chemically inert and stable molecular structure. This "C-F bond" provides characteristics such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, and non-stick properties, demonstrating excellent properties for medical device applications! ■ Cleanliness ■ Chemical resistance ■ Heat resistance ■ Non-stick ■ Elasticity 【Solving These Concerns!】 ■ Concerned about impurities leaching from the welded area / contamination residue... → Solved with PFA welding technology that "joins" using only heat and pressure without adhesives or solvents! ■ Want to reduce costs... → Possible to reduce the number of parts and significantly decrease piping installation effort and cleaning time. ■ Want to improve liquid leakage... → Solved with "PFA welding" that smooths the welded area! *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Improved functionality with different material embedding and hollow structures! Expanding the possibilities of PTFE!

PTFE welding is a method of joining PTFE materials using heat and pressure. The bonded area has a strength equivalent to that of the base material. With PTFE welding, it is possible to create products with the following shapes by combining it with machining. 【Features of PTFE Welding】 ■ Embedding of Dissimilar Materials The characteristics of fluororesins and the dissimilar materials being embedded complement each other, enhancing functionality. ■ Formation of Flow Paths PTFE welding allows for the formation of flow paths within components. The flow path structure becomes compact, contributing to space-saving. ■ Clean Welding Method Since it joins using only heat and pressure, there are no impurities intervening, allowing fluororesins to exhibit their excellent characteristics in various environments.

PTFE bonding PTFE welding technology

This is a method used for joining fluororesin, which is our specialty. Due to the excellent "non-stick" properties of conventional fluororesin, achieving reliable bonding has been considered very difficult. However, we have developed a unique technology that not only allows for reliable bonding of fluororesin but also realizes beadless welding, taking into account the functionality of piping components. (Patent pending) (Customer Benefits) ● It becomes more compact compared to conventional piping, allowing for downsizing of equipment. ● The labor required for our own piping installation can be significantly reduced. By maximizing the use of welded piping, the number of joints can be reduced by up to 70%* (*according to our calculations). ● It is suitable for short delivery times. ● Replacement during maintenance is easy. ● It allows for designs that are not constrained by conventional wisdom. ● In collaboration with Flowell Co., Ltd., we provide innovative piping components using PFA joints and joint welding processing.

At construction sites, temporary parking lots may be established for workers and construction-related vehicles. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can easily occur due to rain, which may hinder vehicle access. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in temporary parking lots, a suitable environment for vehicle passage and parking can be created while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in the necessary areas, and after the construction is completed, they can be removed and repurposed for temporary roads or access routes. The 5×10 panels weigh approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panels weigh about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, allowing for changes in parking space. Additionally, they offer benefits unique to wood, such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation. They are registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A," and can be utilized for the development of temporary parking lots and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change 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.
