The official Nitto Metal Industry website has been updated with a "Technical Column." 【Partial Opening Can Cause Leaks】Correct Use of Shutter Valves Our product, the "Shutter Valve," is a valve specifically designed for bulk materials, intended for use in fully open or fully closed positions with complete discharge. Due to its structure, using it in a partially open or closed state can lead to the possibility of powder leaking through gaps. To answer the question from our customers, "So how much does it actually leak?" this column examines how much leakage occurs when the shutter valve is in a partially open state while powder is being fed in.

This is a stainless steel container equipped with a weight measurement function. The stand comes with a base for installing a mixer. When used with a separately sold mixer, you can complete the weighing and mixing of raw materials with this one unit. By adding an automatic valve, it is possible to perform various functions linked to weight, such as precise input and output. As this is a made-to-order product, we can also flexibly accommodate other customizations.

The new suction filtration container 【QR-100M】 is a stainless steel container that filters the introduced solution by creating a vacuum inside the container. Due to its structure that allows for the suction of the solution introduced into the hopper, filtration can be performed quickly. There is a catch net between the input hopper and the container, where the filtered materials accumulate. The opening rate of the catch net can be adjusted according to your preferences, allowing for the filtration of multiple types of solutions simply by changing the net.

"Helur" is a type of fitting commonly used in the piping of pharmaceutical and food factories. It is used in processes that require a more hygienic environment among various types of pipe fittings.

The Nitto Metal Industry website has been updated with a new technical column. "Experiment: How much water leaks when a sealed container is tipped over?" Our sealed containers come in two types: the CTH type with a catch clip and the CTL type with a lever band. Both types have sufficient sealing properties for storage purposes, but it is unknown how much of the contents will leak when the container is in an abnormal state. This time, to verify this, we checked the leakage amount by tipping both types of containers on their sides. Just how much of a difference is there? <Contents> 1. Differences between catch clip type and lever band type 1.1. Catch clip type (CTH) 1.2. Lever band type (CTL) 2. [Experiment] How much water leaks when the container is tipped over? 2.1. Both are difficult to leak when tipped for just 5 minutes 2.2. After leaving for a week, the lever band type shows superiority 2.3. The differences become more pronounced when subjected to impact 3. What is the difference in sealing performance during normal use? Please check the related links below.

This is an example of applying oxidation coloring processing to lids and ladles. Since the colored part is also made of stainless steel itself, it does not cause peeling or contamination. It is ideal for identification management and differentiation by area. - For identification management as dedicated lids/dedicated ladles. - To prevent confusion and contamination. - To respond to hygiene management such as HACCP by color-coding by area. Oxidation coloring processing refers to the coloration that utilizes the oxide film on the surface of stainless steel and the interference of light, often referred to as color stainless steel. The coloration is achieved by thickening the oxide film on the surface of the stainless steel, so the colored part is also stainless steel itself. Unlike coatings or paints, it does not cause peeling or contamination. *The degree of coloration may vary depending on the material and surface condition of the application area. Additionally, the appearance of the color may change depending on the viewing angle. For more details, please refer to the related links below.

A new stainless steel bracket has been introduced that can secure the end of a hose to the edge of a stainless steel container! By using this product, you no longer need to hold the hose while filling or adding liquid materials, allowing you to perform other tasks simultaneously. It prevents hose drops and losses caused by splashing due to hose movement, thereby improving work efficiency. There are six types of brackets and six sizes for the hose connection, allowing you to choose according to your needs. Additionally, we offer various fittings that can be attached to the hose as an option. For more details, please visit our official website.

A new "container rotation type" mixer has been introduced to prevent foreign matter contamination! The "Rotary Drum Mixer [RODM]" can be used for mixing powders in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes and for seasoning processes in food factories. Since it mixes while rotating the container in a sealed state, there is no worry about foreign matter contamination. Furthermore, by preparing multiple containers and using dedicated containers, cross-contamination measures can be implemented at a low cost. Another feature is that there is no need to interrupt work each time for cleaning and drying the mixer body.

When flowing or pouring water and raw materials into tanks or equipment, I believe that pipes and valves are connected to containers or equipment. These connections use "fittings" such as threaded joints, flanges, and hygienic fittings. In this video, we introduce various information about "hygienic fittings," which are used in processes that require a more sanitary environment, including their mechanisms and how to use them. This is recommended for those who are wondering, "What is a hygienic fitting?" For more details, visit here: https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/66176/

The vertical mixer stand [KSD] is a convenient new product for storing mixers before and after use. Leaving a mixer flat for long periods increases the risk of the shaft bending due to the weight of the mixing body and motor. Operating with a bent shaft is dangerous and necessitates replacement. By reevaluating the storage method for mixers with this product, the risk of shaft bending is reduced. This decreases the frequency of shaft replacements and allows for cost savings from a medium to long-term perspective. It is also useful for replacing shafts and mixing bodies, as well as for maintenance tasks on the mixer. For more details, visit: https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/65301/
