Realization of industrialization of continuous processing of fibrous materials (long objects) using atmospheric pressure low-temperature plasma, which has been difficult until now! PlasmaRise Service

Our company handles advanced technology that enables plasma treatment of various substances. We can perform plasma treatment on general chemical fibers such as polyamide (nylon), polyester, and polyethylene, as well as natural materials like cotton, super fibers such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and conductive fibers like steel wire and carbon fiber. It is possible to plasma-activate all types of gases, imparting properties such as wettability (hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity), adhesion, coating, and coloring (dyeing). Moreover, we can achieve high-density and uniform atmospheric pressure plasma treatment without compromising the physical properties of the target materials. 【Features】 ■ Continuous and rapid uniform plasma treatment of fibers (long items) is possible. ■ The properties of the fiber surface can be altered without flaking or dissolving in water. ■ Treatment is possible for a variety of materials. ■ Significantly improved water repellency, hydrophilicity durability, and adhesion strength. ■ High-density and uniform atmospheric pressure plasma treatment can be achieved without compromising the physical properties of the target materials. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Hydrophilization can enhance the wettability of the surface and reduce the surface tension.

Our company offers a technology that uses atmospheric pressure plasma to hydrophilize the surface of materials under atmospheric pressure. Compared to conventional low-pressure treatments, processing under atmospheric pressure allows for easier equipment configuration and enables continuous processing. Furthermore, with the technology to plasma-activate various gases, we can rapidly hydrophilize the surfaces of various materials. 【Features】 ■ Ability to hydrophilize the surface of materials under atmospheric pressure ■ Easy equipment configuration and capability for continuous processing ■ Rapid hydrophilization of various material surfaces through plasma activation of various gases ■ Enhances surface wettability = reduces surface tension ■ Enables penetration of adhesives and enhances capillary phenomena, etc. *For more details, please contact us.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

● To determine the sealing and waterproofing of sealed products based on pressure changes, it is not necessary to conduct tests that involve spraying water on the product or immersing it in water. ● Once the product is placed in a dedicated fixture within the inspection device, waterproofing can be quantitatively confirmed through automatic measurement. ● The target product size is W 300 × D 210 × H 100 mm or smaller. ● The target products include automotive cameras, smartphones, ECUs, small motors, and other packaging containers, and are effective for any products that require confirmation of sealing, waterproofing, and airtightness. ● For product specifications and details, please contact us.

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.
