Cleaning the coolant tank that used to take a whole day is now done in just 10 minutes! Improving cleaning efficiency and reducing unpleasant odors contribute to environmental improvement!

The automobile manufacturer Company I had three people working almost a full day to clean the coolant tanks of machine tools, and this had become the norm (standard operation). Therefore, we introduced the 'APDQO-F'. It allows one person to perform the task, and the working time was remarkably improved to about 10 minutes. Additionally, for machine tools that were difficult to manage, we had been outsourcing the work, which incurred costs. However, after the introduction, we were able to perform the work in-house, leading to cost reductions. [Solution] ■ APDQO-FF Non-woven fabric filter type for drum cans - Replaceable non-woven fabric, disposable type ■ APDQO-FS SUS filter type for drum cans - The filter is made of stainless steel, allowing for repeated use *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

For daily maintenance! Since filtration cleaning can be done without stopping the machine tools, it allows for effective use of cleaning time.

The agricultural machinery manufacturer Y Company struggled with unstable processing accuracy and tried various filters without success. They had also purchased an expensive filtration cleaner in the past, but it remained unused. Then they introduced the 'J-FS'. By operating it 24 hours a day, they were able to recover sludge that had previously been uncollectible, and the accuracy stabilized. "We received feedback saying, 'The introduction cost was low, and now it’s an indispensable product.'" 【Solution】 ■ J-FS: Recirculating tank cleaning filtration cleaner - Can be operated while the machine tools are running - Reduces cleaning time - Suitable only for cutting processes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I am worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as pedestrian collisions and vehicle-to-vehicle accidents. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures at various sites and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask that you arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. [Contents Included] ○ Exit Warning System Configuration ○ Comparison Table of Exit Warning Sensors ○ Four Modes ○ Wide Range of Applications ○ Customer Feedback ○ Appearance Diagram / Specifications ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
