For transferring low viscosity oils such as kerosene, light oil, and biodiesel! Electric handheld pump.

**EMH Series** EMH-20FC (for oil, kerosene, diesel, biodiesel / pump only) EMH-20SUS (for oil, kerosene, diesel, biodiesel, solvents / pump only) EMHH-20FC (for oil, kerosene, diesel / both ends with hose) **Advantages** ● Continuous operation possible ● Can transfer kerosene and diesel without selecting containers ● Ideal for transferring biodiesel oil ● Low vibration and low noise **Features** ● Dedicated to JIS standard 200L closed drums (large cap G2) ● Equipped with a relief valve (0.1MPa), vane pump ● Various customizations available for drum cans and hose connections *Note: The SUS type cannot be used with water or solvents.* **Mechanism of EMH Pump** The center of the pump body is slightly offset from the center of the impeller, creating a structure where the movable vanes extend due to centrifugal force. It adopts a principle of operation that increases pressure by reducing the volume with the vanes. Additionally, the EMH series uses Teflon and fluorine for the packing, allowing for the transfer of biodiesel.

On July 1, 2026 (Wednesday), talent Risa Yoshiki has been appointed as the official ambassador of b-search Co., Ltd. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Risa Yoshiki, who is active in various fields such as television and magazines, as our official ambassador (effective July 1, 2026). With this ambassador appointment, we at b-search Co., Ltd. aim to deliver the best recruitment solutions to many companies struggling with hiring activities, while also strongly promoting the joy of taking on challenges in work and the appeal of new ways of working to job seekers considering career changes or employment. ■ Background of the official ambassador appointment In today's world, where the declining labor force due to low birth rates and an aging population is advancing, "acquiring and retaining talent" has become an extremely important management issue that affects corporate growth. What is required in future recruitment activities is not the traditional method of "simply posting job advertisements and waiting for applications." What is urgently needed now is "proactive recruitment," which involves partnering with companies as their "best No. 2" to consistently promote everything from the planning of recruitment strategies to the establishment of systems that yield results.
