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. Read the column here: https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/61223/

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 more details, please visit our official website. https://www.nitto-kinzoku.jp/archives/61067/

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/

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/
