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.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

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 at the entrance. It reduces the risk of virus and bacterial infections in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus infection 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 types "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.
