Before... We used to heat water clams over a fire, but for safety reasons, we don't want to use the fire that caused the break out of fire.
After... Mantle heaters: The outside and bottom of the tank were covered with heaters, and the heaters were lifted with metal fittings to improve heat conduction to the tank and mounted so that they are stick with the tank.
～Advantages after Introduction～ Prevention of accidents and improvement of quality
Besides being able to heat safely without using fire, thanks to the temperature setting, the water is no longer scorched, and the quality has been stabilized. Since the mantle heater is integrated with insulation material, there is little loss of heat, and we were able to warm it efficiently.
Before... The temperature of the chocolate fell at the piping between Tank A and Tank B, and it was solidified on the way.
After... Silicone spiral heater: A silicone spiral heater is wrapped around the piping and heated from the outside. As the piping is cleaned regularly, we selected a heater that is easy to attach and detach.
～Advantages after Introduction～ Yield improvement
Since the piping itself is kept at 40°C and the temperature of the chocolate does not drop in the piping, the chocolate no longer solidifies. Quality was maintained and yield was improved.
Before... The frozen meat was thawed in running water, but the problem was that it would take some time to thaw. After... Silicone rubber heater: A silicone rubber heater is wrapped around the outer periphery of the stainless steel water tank to raise the temperature of the water. The electric power of the heater was reduced so that the water temperature do not rise too much, and temperature control was carried out with a temperature controller.
～Advantages after Introduction～ Enabling tasks to be performed quicker
Water temperature can be kept between 5 and 10°C,and thawing time can be shortened.
Before... To lower the viscosity of edible oils and fats, we were heating a 10-liter container in a constant temperature bath. However, using the constant temperature bath for small amounts of oil was inefficient and costly in terms of electricity.
After... Plate heater (Flat type): With a guaranteed power supply, heating can now be performed anywhere, regardless of location. This has led to cost savings in electricity and enabled the establishment of a production system that considers environmental impact. Additionally, the labor involved in transporting cans to the constant temperature bath has been eliminated.
～Advantages after Introduction～ Reduction in electricity costs and improvement in work efficiency.
This has led to a reduction in the burden on workers.
Before... When filling the retort packwith curry in the hopper tank, oil was solidified at the outlet, resulting in poor flow.
After... Mantle heater: A heater is wrapped around the cone of the hopper tank for heating. In order to prevent contamination from entering the tank, we used a PTFE cloth that does not scatter glass fibers, and applied a process that allows the heater to be removed easily when cleaning the tank.
～Advantages after Introduction～ The increase of efficiency of work
Oil near the exit melted, allowing the retort pack to be filled smoothly, and no longer delays work in the filling process.
Before... Condensation occurs inside the agitator in winter when the temperature in the factory becomes low. The powder of snack confectionery was fooled by condensation, causing variation in quality.
After... Aluminum foil heater: After attaching an aluminum foil heater to the outside of the agitator, it was covered with thermal insulation from above. Thermal efficiency was improved by attaching thermal insulation, improved and the heat uniformity in uniform heat.
～Advantages after Introduction～ Realization of stable quality
The quality is no longer uneven between summer and winter, and the powder becomes uniform in snacks. In addition, we were able to improve the yield.
Before... Steam from food heated the metal at the top of the production line, causing condensation. There was concern that drops of water would fall into the food. After... Silicone rubber heater: Silicone rubber heater with the same shape as metal is manufactured and applied to metal with double-sided tape. It is possible to warm only the metal with a pinpoint.
～Advantages after Introduction～ No need for significant movement of equipment
By raising the temperature of the metal with a silicone rubber heater, condensation can be prevented by eliminating the temperature difference from the place heated by steam, and the problem can be solved without drastically moving the equipment.
Before... In a frozen food manufacturing facility, the oil emanating from the meat would accumulate inside the piping, leading to reduced flow. As a solution, hot water was continuously passed through the piping throughout the day to dissolve the oil. This practice resulted in the workspace being inundated with water, and incurred expenses for water and electricity usage. After... Mantle Heaters: Mantle heaters were introduced, specifically installed on elbows prone to oil accumulation. Since there are pipelines in areas where people pass through, there is a risk of burns if they accidentally come into contact with the heater. To mitigate this, the heaters were designed to be integrated with insulation, ensuring safety even upon contact. To facilitate pipeline cleaning, a quick-detach processing was applied, allowing for easy removal with a single touch.
～Advantages after Introduction～ Cost reduction compared to the current state.
The installation of heaters resulted in the dissolution of oil within the piping, leading to improved flow and a more efficient working environment. Additionally, this led to savings in electricity and water expenses.
It's possible. Many customers consider purchasing from just one item. Of course, we also accommodate bulk orders.
Q
I want to insulate the piping. Can you provide this service?
A
It's possible. We offer tailored solutions based on pipe diameter, length, and purpose (freeze prevention, heating) to recommend the optimal heater and insulation materials. For more details, please feel free to contact us.
Q
I'm considering attaching insulation from the outside of the heater. Are there any precautions I should be aware of?
A
When installing insulation, it will provide a certain level of insulation effect to prevent heat loss. However, it's important to note that the heater's surface temperature may rise, potentially exceeding its heat-resistant temperature. It is essential to use over-temperature protection devices or temperature controllers to ensure proper temperature management.
Q
Can it be used underwater?
A
It cannot be used underwater. Under no circumstances should it be used in water, as it may lead to electrical leakage and accidents.
Q
Why is the delivery lead time range for 'semi-custom made' products in the catalog so broad?
A
Due to the handmade nature of each item and variations in types, quantities, and timing, the delivery lead time can vary. The catalog provides a standard delivery lead time for all semi-custom made products, resulting in a broad range of lead times due to the mix of shorter and longer delivery times. If you would like to know the current delivery lead time, please don't hesitate to contact us.
