A new product called "Quitto" was launched in 2025, and EPDM gaskets have been added to the lineup. ■ Problems that can be solved The traditional process of attaching and detaching the helical clamp took about 20 seconds to 1 minute each time. Additionally, during the installation of pipes after cleaning, gaskets would sometimes fall to the floor, necessitating re-cleaning, which resulted in significant time loss during setup and pipe cleaning. ■ Features of "Quitto" - Easy one-handed operation: Its unique design allows anyone to operate it easily with one hand. - Reduced work time: Simply pressing the gasket while installing it completes the task in just a few seconds. - Reduced risk of dropping: The gasket is securely fixed, minimizing the risk of dropping during installation. ■ Addition of EPDM gaskets Starting in February 2026, EPDM gaskets have been added to the lineup. By utilizing them in existing helical clamp connection points, they will greatly contribute to increased productivity and improved safety in operations. We also have demo units available, so please feel free to contact us if you are interested.

We will be showcasing Quitto at the exhibition "FOOMA JAPAN 2026," which will be held from June 2 to June 5, 2026. At the venue, there will be a Quitto experience corner within the booth of Tsubakimoto Chain Co. (Booth Number: E1-05-29), where you can physically experience the easy attachment and detachment with one action using "Quitto." Additionally, we will also display the EPDM packing that started sales in February 2026. If you want to eliminate the hassle of attaching and detaching the H-clamp, please stop by. We sincerely look forward to your visit. Details of "FOOMA JAPAN 2026": Date and Time: June 2 (Tuesday), June 3 (Wednesday), June 4 (Thursday), June 5 (Friday) from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Venue: Tokyo Big Sight, West Exhibition Hall 1-4 / East Exhibition Hall 1-3, 7, 8 Booth Number: E1-05-29 (within the booth of Tsubakimoto Chain Co.)

The connection work of the hygienic clamp has been reduced to 4 seconds. Moreover, it can be done with one hand. Good news for those using hygienic clamps for sanitary piping connections. We have launched a new product called "Quitto," which allows you to perform the connection work of hygienic clamps overwhelmingly faster, easier, and with one hand. *This new product was co-developed with PACRAFT, a packaging machine manufacturer that is part of the same Nabtesco group as us. *Patent, design, and trademark applications have been submitted. 【Problems that can be solved】 Traditionally, the attachment and detachment of hygienic clamps took several tens of seconds to a few minutes. Additionally, when attaching them to the piping after cleaning, there were instances where the gasket would fall to the floor, necessitating a re-cleaning, leading to time loss during setup changes and piping cleaning. 【Solution】 By using a unique structure that presses a large gasket while attaching it, the attachment and detachment work can be completed in just a few seconds with one hand. Since the gasket is securely fixed to the piping, there is almost no risk of dropping the gasket on the floor during attachment. We also have demo units available, so please feel free to reach out if you're interested.

We have released a demo video of an automatic attachment and detachment device for tank bottoms that can handle not only liquids but also powders and slurries. Since utilities such as electricity and air can be automatically supplied, it can be equipped with customer-specific specifications for automatic opening and closing of tank bottom valves, sensors, and valve operations based on load cell signals. We design and manufacture the entire device tailored to your needs.

We have uploaded demonstration videos explaining the devices we design and manufacture, including "Auto Connectors," "Auto Couplers," "Various Couplers," and "Automatic Pipe Switching Devices," along with videos that explain their basic operations using CGI on YouTube. You can see the movements of the devices, which were difficult to understand from the catalog alone, in the videos. If you are considering automating the detachment and attachment of pipes, hoses, and fittings, or if you want to automate hose line switching operations, or if you are using valves (automatic valves, three-way valves) and have issues with preventive maintenance, please take a look. All devices and couplers can be customized to order, so feel free to consult with us. Our website: https://ac.nabtesco-service.com/catalog/ Contact: Nabtesco Service Co., Ltd.
