• Sealing

Attention customers struggling with "high-temperature" manhole gaskets!

On November 1, 2015, the "RCF regulation" was implemented, which essentially prohibits the use of sealants made from ceramic fibers. The commonly used alternative is "biodegradable fibers." Several years have passed since similar products have been released by other manufacturers, but we have recently been hearing feedback from job sites such as the following: "The material is weak during installation." "When the lid is opened, it crumbles." The MacThermo Bio-HD series is a product that has been reinforced by knitting each weak thread with metal wire, making it stronger than previous versions. It has already been successfully used in coke ovens at steel mills, so please check the details below!

The gasket during flange release suppresses the sticking of the packing, significantly reducing flange cleaning time!

The anti-seizing spray eCLEAR is a gasket anti-seizing spray based on inorganic minerals. Please apply it to the gasket before tightening. This will help suppress seizing during opening. <Features> - Prevents gasket burning (seizing) to flanges! - Compatible with most gasket materials! - Significantly reduces flange cleaning time! - Excellent heat resistance up to 800℃ - Can be used in conjunction with gasket seal paste (seal auxiliary agent)! *It cannot remove gaskets that have already seized. Please apply it beforehand. *The heat resistance temperature depends on the performance of the base material gasket.

As a result of struggling every day without implementing AI, there has been an increase in companies exhausted from overtime recently. When you hear "AI implementation," you might imagine a large investment or a company-wide reform. However, what is needed now is not to **“change everything at once,” but to “first make one thing easier.”** For example, just having AI do a little bit of the work, such as inputting handwritten forms, drafting complaint emails, or summarizing meeting notes, will definitely reduce the workload. Delivered through a blog and audio! Of course, it's free. The link is below, scroll down.

In 2025, M&M Corporation began selling the "MMG200 Series," a compatible quick coupling for molds in the DME Zifitite 200 series. This new series is characterized by its compatibility with the DME standard 200 series (Zifitite), which is widely used both domestically and internationally, allowing for a smooth replacement of conventional products. Furthermore, the cost performance is noteworthy. While maintaining high-quality finishes and reliability, the price has been significantly reduced compared to genuine products. For manufacturing sites where cost reduction is essential, it truly represents a "handy" option. The MMG coupling optimizes the balance of durability, sealing, and operability by adopting a brass body with a stainless steel locking mechanism. It supports various screw sizes, including PT1/8, 1/4, and 3/8, making it widely compatible with both mold water lines and oil temperature control lines. 【Implementation is progressing in the following environments】 ✅ Water cooling circuits for press molds and injection molding machines ✅ Compatibility applications with overseas DME standard molds ✅ Sites struggling with inventory and delivery times of existing DME couplings ✅ Sites looking to reduce costs and unify parts
