[Case Study] Container for Filtering Ceramic Raw Materials
This is an example of a stainless steel container adopted in the testing process for filtering ceramic raw materials. It was adopted as a replacement for a glass filtration device, and it was designed so that the "filter paper" and the "bottle" for collecting the filtrate can be the same as those used previously. You can find more details through the related link.

You can download a PDF document that explains the differences between the two filtration devices.
At MONOVATE, we offer two types of filtration containers: the suction filtration container [QR-100M] and the pressure filtration container [PR-FP]. As the names suggest, the difference between these two models lies in the method of filtration. Including this aspect, I will explain what other differences exist between these two units. You can download the related catalog from the bottom of the page.

You can download materials on exposure measures for workers handling powders from the case study collection!
In places where powder materials and organic solvents are handled, exposure to these substances can have health impacts, so measures to prevent exposure are necessary. While there are countermeasures on the operator's side, it is important to suppress the factors that contribute to exposure from the equipment side. This document mainly focuses on the handling of powders and introduces the exposure prevention measures that our company, a stainless steel tank manufacturer, can propose around the tank area. Please download and view from the related catalog at the bottom of the page.

You can download a collection of products and customization examples for back pain measures!
Low back pain accounts for 60% of so-called "occupational diseases." Preventive measures against low back pain are essential for achieving a safe working environment. Many of the stainless steel tanks and peripheral equipment we handle are sized and weighted to be just manageable by human power. Accumulating tasks that involve "it’s tough on my back, but I can manage with a little extra effort" can pose a significant risk of physical strain. That said, it may be difficult to imagine what kind of design can alleviate this burden. Therefore, in this document, we will introduce products that reduce the strain on the back during daily tasks, as well as examples of custom solutions that our customers have actually adopted. Feel free to download and view from the related catalogs at the bottom of the page.

You can download a collection of case studies that improve input and output losses!
When we hear from customers about their challenges regarding the introduction or updating of equipment, we sometimes receive inquiries about improving losses and yield rates. The equipment we provide can be customized from a single unit, so we make proposals to add or change components or modify designs based on the information we receive. The proposals may vary depending on the conditions of the workspace and the nature of the work, but in this PDF document, we focus on the two processes of "input" and "output," showcasing customizations that have led to improvements in losses and yield rates, based on actual implementations. Feel free to download from the related catalogs at the bottom of the page.

You can download the PDF materials essential for craft beer brewing heat exchangers!
Our company manufactures and sells tanks for craft beer. We offer three types of tanks for boiling, mashing, and fermentation according to the manufacturing process. To make it easier for those who are considering starting a craft beer business to introduce equipment, we also propose and sell other related devices as a package. One of these is the "heat exchanger." A heat exchanger is a device that transfers (exchanges) thermal energy from a fluid at a higher temperature to a fluid at a lower temperature, similar to an air conditioner or radiator. Recently, we visited "Nihasan Seisakusho Co., Ltd.," which holds the top market share for plate heat exchangers in Japan and whose products we also handle. This document will explain the basics of the heat exchangers introduced during our visit and provide information about our craft beer tanks. Feel free to download related catalogs from the bottom of the page.

You can download the PDF materials for the slurry tank from the case study collection!
Recently, we have seen an increase in inquiries from customers dealing with slurries (mud) regarding our mixing devices and mixing tanks. Here, slurry refers to a mixture of raw material pastes, particles, or powders combined with liquids such as water or solvents. For example, customers often face challenges in the mixing and storage processes with viscous slurries that contain dissolved binders (adhesives) or slurries where the mixed particles are heavy and prone to settling. In this PDF document, we introduce our products that served as the basis for the proposals of stainless steel tanks we have suggested as slurry tanks in the past. Please feel free to download from the related catalogs at the bottom of the page.

[Technical Column Update] What is the method to eliminate lumps?
Our company, which manufactures mixing devices, often receives inquiries from customers such as, "If there were no lumps, the quality would be stable," and "If there were no lumps, labor costs and the burden on workers would be reduced." We propose methods to reduce the occurrence of lumps and to dissolve any lumps that do form quickly, through reviewing work methods and improving or introducing production equipment. We will introduce some of these methods in a column.

[Technical Column] Experiment! How does the liquid flow change depending on the mixing position? Verification with a Bernoulli flow stirrer.
In this column, we will introduce the changes in liquid flow depending on the "position of stirring." Even when stirring with the same contents, stirrer, and rotation speed, simply changing the position of the stirrer can significantly alter the flow of the liquid. By adjusting the stirring position according to the purpose of mixing and the properties of the contents, it is possible to achieve high-precision stirring in a short time. For more details, please refer to the "Related Links" section below. *This column presents an example using our Bernoulli flow stirrer. It does not apply to all stirrers.

What is a recommended mixer for when you want to stir vigorously but don't want to create foam?
Nitto Metal Industry's "Bernoulli Flow Stirrer" is a stirring machine that can stir powerfully while suppressing foaming. For example, it may solve concerns and challenges such as: "I want to stir powerfully but don't want to create foam," "It takes too long to defoam after mixing," "I want to mix evenly but don't want to create foam." We have a document summarizing the features of the stirrer, so please take a look at it. *The PDF document can be downloaded immediately from Ipros. For more details, please refer to the related catalog below.

[Explanation Material] You can download the PDF document that experiments on the leakage amount when a sealed container is tipped over.
Our stainless steel airtight containers come in two types: the CTH type with a catch clip and the CTL type with a lever band. Both types have sufficient airtightness for storage purposes, but it is unknown how much the contents would leak if the container were to be in an abnormal state. To verify this, we checked the leakage amount by laying both types of containers on their side in this document. Just how much of a difference is there? Feel free to download from the related catalog at the bottom of the page.

[Technical Column] Points to Consider When Choosing Containers Based on Capacity
We have published a "Technical Column" on our homepage. When purchasing items like stainless steel containers that are used to hold something, the "capacity" is an important factor. For example, those in the manufacturing industry may choose containers based on the amount to be prepared. Have you ever wondered whether the capacity listed in product catalogs is the full capacity when filled to the brim? In this column, we will introduce the capacity of our stainless steel containers and points to consider when selecting containers. For more details, please refer to the "Related Links" section below.
