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.

Powders behave very differently depending on their properties and the environment in which they are handled, making them very difficult to manage. Our company receives daily inquiries regarding the handling of powders, and among them, a common issue reported is that "blockages such as bridges and rat holes occur, preventing sufficient quantities from being supplied to the next process." To address these challenges, our company offers an "aeration hopper" in our product lineup, and to ensure that customers can confidently choose our products, we conducted experiments to demonstrate its effectiveness.

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 "Nihon Seisakusho Co., Ltd.," which holds the top share of plate heat exchangers in Japan and whose products we also handle. In this article, we will explain the basics of heat exchangers introduced during our visit and our craft beer tanks. For more details, please refer to the "Related Links" section below.

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.

The homepage "Technical Column" has been published. Lower back pain accounts for 60% of what is commonly referred to as "occupational diseases." Preventive measures against lower 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. There is a risk of placing a significant burden on the body through repeated tasks that may feel like "it's tough on the back, but I can manage if I push a little." That said, it may be difficult to imagine what kind of design can alleviate this burden. Therefore, in this column, we will introduce products that reduce the strain on the back during daily operations, as well as examples of custom solutions that our customers have actually adopted.
