From steam to self-regulating heater, preventing recrystallization.
At the Mitsui Sugar Co., Ltd. Kobe Factory in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, self-regulating heaters were installed to prevent the re-crystallization of liquid sugar. Previously, warm air was directly blown into the liquid sugar tank, causing the liquid sugar to re-crystallize, which clogged the strainer (a mesh device used to remove solid components from liquids), resulting in longer shipping times and becoming a challenge. A self-regulating heater was proposed for heating the liquid sugar, which is prone to quality changes, and it was wrapped around the lower part of the liquid sugar tank to provide external heating. After installation, the introduction of the self-regulating heater reduced primary energy consumption by 56% due to the elimination of the need for heating and the resolution of heat loss. The prevention of re-crystallization shortened shipping times by 30 minutes annually, and the need for strainer cleaning was eliminated, achieving reduced maintenance. Furthermore, temperature uniformity improved quality and reduced the risk of microbial growth.

Company information
Our company is an engineering firm specializing in electric heaters. We started by handling Raychem self-regulating heaters for preventing water pipe freezing. Since then, we have accumulated technology and have undertaken numerous projects from design to construction for fields requiring strict temperature control, such as petrochemicals, food factories, and the power generation industry, including process insulation for piping and tanks. In addition to self-regulating electric heaters with a maximum holding temperature of 150°C, we also handle higher temperature power-limited heaters, MI heaters, and sheath heaters. Currently, the mainstream for process insulation in manufacturing sites is steam or hot water, which consumes large amounts of fossil fuels. However, due to environmental issues and unstable energy costs, there is an increasing number of manufacturing professionals focusing on electric heating.
