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.

● What is a packaging container air leak test device? It is a leak testing device that identifies the peeling, tearing, and presence of pinholes in packaging containers for pharmaceuticals and other products, conducting a Container Closure Integrity Test (CCIT). It can be applied to a wide variety of packaging containers, including flexible packaging, bottle containers, and glass containers, primarily in pharmaceutical packaging. The measurement method employs the <sealed chamber method (pressure change leak testing method 1)>. A sample is placed in the chamber, and by applying pressure or vacuum and measuring the pressure change within the chamber, quantitative inspection is performed. It can be used in various scenarios, including offline manufacturing, inline manufacturing, CMC laboratories, quality control laboratories, and stability testing. * The containers subject to inspection are referred to as "work" or "samples." Here, specific samples are referred to as "samples" to differentiate the terminology.

The pinhole inspection for packaging engineering is fully automated, eliminating packaging defects based on certain quality standards. The judgment results and operational status can be managed via a monitor screen. - Quantitative management of quality standards for the pinhole inspection process - Ensuring the quality of the product's shelf life - Establishing evaluation criteria for the manufacturing process, achieving quantitative quality assurance - Slim and space-saving design that can be connected to existing production lines - Quick changeover for product variety switching can be handled in a short time by exchanging chambers - Fully domestically produced, allowing for rapid maintenance and troubleshooting - Example target works: pillow packaging, packaged rice (packaged cooked rice), etc. *Please consult us regarding the use of this product for pharmaceuticals.
