[Exhibition Information] We will be exhibiting at 'POWTEX 2024 (25th International Powder Technology Exhibition Tokyo)'.

A cost-effective remote monitoring system for resin compound companies. It aggregates data scattered throughout the factory and visualizes operational status!

Kubota's compound line monitoring system not only incorporates information from feeders but also from extruders and peripheral equipment, enabling comprehensive display of equipment operating conditions and rapid data analysis during abnormalities, contributing to productivity improvement through remote monitoring. It promotes the visualization of customers' factories through phased implementation into their facilities. This system is ideal for customers facing issues such as "not noticing alarms from equipment," "wanting to identify the cause of defective products," and "manually recording measurement data on-site"! 【CraftPat Neo Launch】 - Compatible with multiple OS and browsers, allowing monitoring from smartphones and tablets (in a Wi-Fi environment). - Multi-window and multi-display capabilities enable dashboard-like usage, such as displaying graphs side by side. - Enhanced grade management features further streamline grade management. 【Exhibition Information】 We will be exhibiting at "POWTEX 2024 (25th International Powder Industry Exhibition Tokyo)." Dates: November 27 (Wednesday) to 29 (Friday), 2024 Venue: Tokyo Big Sight https://www.powtex.com/tokyo/

Three unique structures to achieve stable supply of raw materials! You can choose according to your needs, such as flow rate and hopper capacity, dual-axis/single-axis screws, etc.

<NEW> The flow range of large machines has further expanded with the minor change! The 'NX Feeder' can stably supply various powders and granules such as pellets, fiberglass, pigments, carbon black, and titanium oxide with just one feeder. While excelling in disassembly and cleaning, it is equipped with three innovative unique structures that fundamentally prevent causes of supply irregularities such as bridging and rat holes! It also accommodates highly cohesive powders. 【Three Unique Structures】 　■ Diagonal agitator structure (prevents unnecessary movement of materials) 　■ Inverted tapered chute structure (improves bridging resistance) 　■ Dense filling structure (ensures stable discharge of materials and achieves high supply accuracy)

Next-generation feeder control system aimed at the smart factory era.

The WF series inherits the basic performance of conventional control systems while evolving its scalability through network connectivity. It is a new standard control system that realizes Kubota's vision of a future production site centered around informatization. 【Features】 - Realizes IoT for compound production processes with Ethernet connectivity - Allows for the start of feeder operation without cumbersome settings or adjustments - Prevents the occurrence of defective products and prevents the outflow of defective lots in the event of any defects - Helps prevent sudden line stops and contributes to minimizing downtime

Reduce raw material leakage to the outside and contribute to improving the environment in the manufacturing site and enhancing the working conditions!

Compared to conventional fabric air vents, it reduces the amount of raw material leakage to the outside and suppresses filter clogging by performing backwashing with air during raw material input. **Features** - Reduces site contamination caused by leaked raw materials, improving the environment and working conditions. - Reduces waste of raw materials, minimizing the loss of valuable raw materials due to discharge and disposal. - Contributes to improved supply stability by preventing abnormal feeding during raw material replenishment.

Weight feeder specialized for raw materials with low fluidity.

This is a weight-type feeder specialized for raw materials with poor fluidity, such as fibers. Unlike general feeders, which struggle to accommodate long fibers or irregularly sized fibers that do not easily enter the screw, this feeder can fill the screw thanks to its specially designed discharge mechanism, enabling stable supply. It is also suitable for raw materials that tend to cause supply issues, such as film and plastic scrap. **Features** - Flexible response to long fibers and irregularly sized fibers - Stable supply of materials even for those that tend to tangle - Ideal for a wide range of raw materials, including fiber-based materials, films, and plastics

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot in front of it. It reduces the risk of virus and bacteria transmission in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus transmission by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing type "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

In recent years, with the outbreak of infectious diseases, there has been a demand for products that cater to "contactless operation," and this trend has extended to environments where automatic doors were previously operated by touch switches. As the automation of doors and the non-contact operation of automatic doors become more widespread, do you have any of the following concerns? ☑ Although automatic doors have been installed, they remain open due to people crossing frequently in busy areas. ☑ Touch switches have been introduced to reduce unnecessary openings and closings, but hygiene is a concern. ☑ Touch switches require regular battery replacements since they are powered. The light beam touch sensor "HA-T401" opens and closes automatic doors without contact, and its compact detection range makes it suitable for narrow passages and busy areas, contributing to energy savings and infection control. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ○ Adaptable to various door types with four spot settings, ideal for busy roads and narrow passages. ○ Energy-saving effects with two setting modes that reduce unnecessary openings and closings of automatic doors. ○ Equipped with a light beam touch function, allowing doors to open and close simply by waving a hand, ensuring hygiene. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before introduction - Dealing with "paper" sent from various locations, reliance on specific individuals ■ Key points of introduction - A robust support system for setup and operation - Easy to start from a small scale both financially and functionally *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
