Developed a carbon-neutral aluminum melting holding furnace [Published in the Iron and Steel News, October 23, 2023, page 5]

Introducing the forefront of development! Hydrogen combustion without carbon dioxide emissions! SHOEI is advancing the adaptation of its proven in-house burners for hydrogen use.

【New Development! Hydrogen Gas Burner Lineup】 ◇ High-Temperature Furnace Hydrogen Gas Burner (EIS-H2) Achieves a wide combustion range and stable combustion For heat treatment furnaces, melting furnaces, heating furnaces, deodorization devices, etc. ◇ Package Burner (BJ-H2) ◇ Fan-Equipped Package Burner (SP-H2) Provides stable flames even under high furnace pressure conditions, with good operability and maintainability; suitable for low-temperature fields such as drying furnaces, as well as various industrial furnaces and deodorization devices. ◇ Hydrogen Combustion Recuperative Burner (STBW-H2) Equipped with a waste heat recovery device (heat exchanger), capable of reducing fuel usage by about 30% in addition to decarbonization. Developed in collaboration with Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions Co., Ltd.! For aluminum melting holding furnaces, preheating, heat treatment furnaces, etc. ◇ Hydrogen Combustion Single-End Radiant Tube Burner (TRFH-H2) Indirect heating method utilizing radiant heat With an integrated heat exchanger, the burner efficiency is high at 75%. ◇ Hydrogen Combustion Duct Burner (SDC-H2) Converts duct burners mounted on hot air generation devices to hydrogen combustion Suitable for various drying furnaces such as painting drying and food drying.

In the face of uncertainty regarding future energy supply, we are advancing efforts towards high-efficiency "electrification" and "hybridization" based on gas combustion furnaces.

**Electrification of Thermal Equipment** In an uncertain future for energy supply, we are responding to high-efficiency electrification based on proven thermal equipment (combustion furnaces) to offer multiple options to our customers as an industrial furnace manufacturer. The electric hot air generator (AH-E) can replace our gas combustion type without significant changes to the equipment layout, allowing for electrification. **Hybrid Heating of Electric and Combustion Types** We have numerous achievements not only in fully electrifying thermal equipment but also in hybrid heating that combines the advantages of combustion types. We address challenges such as "securing green power, reducing costs, and ensuring power capacity" through hybrid solutions with combustion types. In addition to improving the efficiency of electric systems, energy-saving systems that utilize waste heat for gas burners are also possible. By incorporating hydrogen gas burners, we achieve carbon neutrality! **We Conduct Practical Verification Tests** We conduct various heating tests at the newly established "Thermal Technology Research Institute" within the Horyuji Center. Among these, the "QCO Test Facility" allows for heating tests with four different heat sources! We propose thermal equipment suitable for workpieces using gas, electric, hydrogen, and hybrid heat sources.

The non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four configurations: left, center, right, and a total of 12 spots. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor with a single model. 【Recommended for such locations!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Counter or sign near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Products for wall and ceiling use with gypsum boards, as well as items for RC construction renovations, have been added to the listings released last year. New construction examples have also been added, which can be used to propose ideas to customers considering renovations. Please utilize the subsidies from the Mirai Eco Housing 2026 project for proposals on insulation renovations combined with water area and window improvements.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support. As you may be aware from recent news reports, the situation in the Middle East has deteriorated rapidly, leading to an increase in the prices of raw materials originating from that region. Consequently, there is a possibility that the prices of our products may also rise in the future. Please be advised that due to fluctuations in the market conditions of raw materials, we may change prices without prior notice, and we appreciate your understanding in advance. Additionally, regarding product delivery times, we are currently operating as usual. Should there be any changes in the future due to the situation, we will inform you accordingly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
