[Technical Column] What Should We Do After All? Stainless Steel Containers: A Beginner's HACCP Guide
HACCP is one of the methods for food safety management. In countries like the United States and EU nations, the implementation of HACCP has already progressed, and in Japan, considering the internationalization of food distribution and the hosting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, compliance with HACCP has been made mandatory for the food manufacturing industry, which directly handles food. The momentum for HACCP is increasing year by year, but what exactly should be done to comply with it?

[Explanation Material] Registered: Causes and Countermeasures for Stainless Steel Containers Rusting Quickly Under Certain Conditions.
We sometimes receive inquiries from customers saying, "Even though it's made of stainless steel, it rusted right away." Stainless steel, as the English words "Stain" (rust, corrosion), "less" (less), and "steel" (steel) suggest, is an alloy of iron that is highly resistant to rust. While it is considerably less prone to rust compared to regular iron, it is not completely rust-proof. Here, we have summarized "Why is stainless steel resistant to rust?", "What causes rust on rust-resistant stainless steel?", and "What are the rust prevention measures for stainless steel containers?".

[New Product] Magnet filter for adsorbing and removing magnetic foreign substances.
A product has been developed to adsorb and remove magnetic foreign substances. We have adopted a triangular magnet bar to prevent the accumulation of powder particles and the reintroduction of foreign substances. The triangular shape of the magnet allows powder particles to flow smoothly without accumulating on top of the magnet bar. Once foreign substances are adsorbed, they escape to the bottom, preventing reintroduction caused by being pushed by the powder particles. The filter has a hygienic connection, making it easy to connect to piping, such as at the bottom of the supply hopper. For more details, visit: https://www.nitto-kinzoku.co.jp/archives/product/mgnf/
