Our official website has been updated with a technical column. [Technical Column] Is it really okay to tighten that much? The importance of tightening torque as seen through packing. When tightening a ferrule with a clamp, applying excessive force can cause the ferrule packing to protrude. Protruding packing not only poses a risk of becoming a foreign object and contaminating the contents, but it can also create unnecessary space that allows for residue and adhesion, potentially leading to contamination. It is not always better to tighten strongly; it is important to tighten with the appropriate force. In this column, we conducted an experiment to see how much the packing protrudes based on the tightening torque when a ferrule is clamped.

Stainless steel containers manufactured by Nitto Metal Industry from thin plates (t0.7mm to t2.0mm). If you want to "increase strength" or "reduce distortion" on the outer surface of the lid (inner surface) or the outer surface of the bottom, we will attach reinforcement plates. The reinforcement plates are designed according to the product specifications and customer preferences and are an optional processing feature that can be attached during product manufacturing.

For replacing glass or plastic screw cap bottles, if you are concerned about the "impact resistance," "heat resistance," and "light shielding" of the storage containers when storing small samples or reagents, we recommend the all-stainless steel bottle "Stainless Steel Small Sample Bottle [PSS]." This sample bottle features a flat interior, excellent discharge and cleaning properties, and can be sterilized in an autoclave, making it hygienic for use.

The Nitto Metal Industry website has been updated with a technical column. 【Technical Column】"What Happens When a Packing Swells?" One of the causes of packing deterioration is "swelling." Depending on the compatibility between the packing and the liquid, the packing may absorb the liquid, expand, and become soft. This phenomenon is referred to as "swelling." However, those outside the field may not often have the opportunity to see packing in such a state. In this column, we conducted an experiment to observe what happens when packing swells. Please take a look. https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/60503/

New lineup in the ASC series: Container with a stand that can be equipped with a stirrer. A new product has been introduced in the "Container with Stand [ASC] Series," which is convenient for switching containers depending on the process or for easily removing the container for cleaning. A base that allows the stirrer to be clamped onto the stand part of the [KTT-ASC] and [DT-ASC] has been added, making it easy to remove the stirrer and container from the stand. This product is useful when the stirrer needs to be used in multiple processes or when the container needs to be cleaned frequently. For more details, please visit our website. https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/60466/

| New lineup of tapered containers! By increasing the angle of the stainless steel tapered containers [KTT series], we have improved the discharge efficiency. There are three types in the lineup with different lid variations. | Contributing to time savings in "discharge" and "cleaning" processes 【Time savings in discharge】 To enable smoother discharge of contents to the next process compared to flat-bottom containers, the bottom surface has been inclined in the discharge direction. Additionally, by increasing the angle compared to our conventional products, we have further enhanced discharge efficiency. This is also effective for high-viscosity liquids. 【Time savings in cleaning】 To reduce residual liquid after discharge and simplify cleaning, the bottom surface has been designed with a 10° incline. This is also effective in reducing residual liquid loss. For more details, please visit our website. https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/59500/

This is a custom-made example of a lid for a stirring tank used for culture liquid (water + powder) adopted by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. It was custom-made to solve the following problems: - The lid has no inlet, so it must be removed when adding powdered materials, but since it opens fully, the powder scatters. - There is no opening in the lid, so it is necessary to open the lid every time a drop-in heater or stirrer is used, making it difficult to work. For more details on this custom-made example, please visit our website. We also created a video to clearly showcase its features. https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/60035/ At Nitto Metal Industry, we manufacture stainless steel containers and stirring devices tailored to customer needs, starting from a single item. If you are thinking, "I want something more user-friendly" or "I want to introduce something new, but I'm not sure what specifications are best," please feel free to consult with us.

Nitto Metal Industry's website has been updated with a technical column. | Let's reduce manual labor! Improving work efficiency with stainless steel products. When we talk about "labor-saving in manufacturing," one aspect that comes to mind is the transition from manual labor to automation. However, in cases of small-batch production and prototype development, there are many processes where automation is not practical. Nevertheless, labor-saving is essential for improving work efficiency and reducing costs. Even in processes that cannot be automated, it is important to first "reduce" manual labor. <Table of Contents> 1. Wash without holding large and heavy containers 2. Shorten the time for melting and stirring operations 3. Stop transferring liquids manually For more details, please visit our website. https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/58628/
