Mooney viscometer adopting a rotorless mechanism

The rotor-less mechanism, which eliminates friction resistance in the rotor shaft section, offers the following advantages: ● Since there is no rotor, sample loading and unloading is easy. ● The sample temperature is uniform and recovers quickly.

• Other measuring instruments

This is a testing machine for measuring the viscosity of unvulcanized rubber and the scorch time of the rubber.

● The Mooney value is automatically calibrated with a built-in weight. ● You can register test conditions and pass/fail criteria. ● Test results can be output to a PC* (optional). ● You can recall past test results (up to 100 data). ● The heater timer function allows for time savings on start and end times. ● It is equipped with overload prevention and overheating prevention devices.

• Other measuring instruments

This is a vulcanization testing machine (rotorless rheometer/MDR) for evaluating the vulcanization characteristics of rubber. Fully automated testing is also possible with the optional sample automatic loading and unloading device.

● The sample chamber die can be selected in addition to the flat die specification, also in a conical die specification. ● By installing a sample automatic loading and unloading device* (pin type or film type) and a data processing device*, full automation (continuous testing of 84 samples) is possible. This contributes to labor-saving and efficiency in measurement tasks. (*Optional) ● By installing options for foam pressure measurement and tanδ measurement functions, more physical properties of rubber can be obtained. *The photo includes the sample automatic loading and unloading device (optional).

• Other measuring instruments

This is a low-temperature impact brittleness testing device (brittleness temperature testing device) used for low-temperature characteristic testing of rubber and plastics (cold resistance testing).

Rubber and plastic are immersed in a low-temperature liquid, struck with a hammer at a constant speed, and evaluated based on the occurrence of cracks. You can choose between the dry ice method or the refrigeration method.

• Other measuring instruments

This is a testing machine that applies impact to a plastic specimen and determines the impact value from the energy of the pendulum required for destruction.

● It features a digital display, eliminating errors from wear loss of the discard needle and reading errors by the operator. ● By replacing the hammer and specimen support base (fixed base), it can accommodate Charpy impact tests, Izod impact tests, and tensile impact tests. ● Easy operation with a color LCD touch panel. It can display and save the average, maximum, minimum, coefficient of variation, and standard deviation of impact values. ● Measurement data can be saved to a PC. (*Requires optional dedicated data processing software. PC is optional.) ● Hammer release* can be operated with a button. There is no individual variation during hook release, improving reproducibility. (*Optional) ● Instrumentation system* is selectable. (*Optional. Only for Charpy impact tests and in-basis tensile impact tests.) ● Positioning support base* is selectable. It allows for easy and accurate setting of the specimen. (*Optional for Charpy impact tests.) ● Various safety covers* (with or without a top) are selectable. (*Optional)

Kort Valuta Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Hideki Shibata) is pleased to announce that we will hold our next recruitment event, “Kort Valuta Night,” on November 26, 2025. This recurring event offers an opportunity for potential candidates to casually learn about our company culture and team atmosphere before applying. By lowering the barrier to entry and providing authentic insights from current employees, the event helps participants gain a more concrete sense of what it’s like to work at Kort Valuta. Since the event’s launch, approximately ten attendees have gone on to join the company in a range of roles — including marketing, customer support, and backend engineering.

Our company has been awarded the "Minister of the Environment Award for Climate Change Action for Fiscal Year 2025." This award is presented annually by the Ministry of the Environment to honor individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the mitigation and adaptation of climate change. Our efforts to balance energy conservation and comfort through "Akarina," as well as the initiatives we have undertaken together with the companies that have adopted it, have been recognized. We sincerely thank everyone who has supported and adopted Akarina for their invaluable assistance.

We are pleased to announce the development of the vehicle passage time prediction system "MS-VPP," which measures the speed of vehicles approaching construction sites using microwave sensors and informs the predicted passage time through signage and tablets. This system will be available to construction contractors starting in November 2025. ■Product Overview - "MS-VPP" detects vehicles approaching construction sites and measures their speed using microwave sensors, displaying the vehicle speed and the predicted passage time at specified locations on signage and tablets. It can also measure and display data for vehicles passing continuously. - The data control panel connected to the microwave sensor transmits the vehicle speed data and calculated passage prediction time via LTE. By utilizing microwave sensors, it enables accurate detection and speed measurement of vehicles even at night or in bad weather, and since data processing occurs on the receiving side without going through the cloud, information can be displayed without any time lag. - As a result, drivers of construction vehicles exiting from construction entrances and workers directing traffic can understand "how many seconds until a vehicle passes near the site entrance," thereby implementing safety measures in areas with poor visibility.

We will be exhibiting at the "Construction Technology Exhibition 2025 Kanto" held at Sunshine City (Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo) for two days starting from November 19. This exhibition is organized by the Nikkan Kensetsu Kogyo Shimbun and aims to promote the development and introduction of construction technology. On the day of the event, we will showcase our "High Water Content Soil Improvement Agent MT Series" and introduce the product through demonstrations using actual soil, so we invite those nearby to stop by. Venue: Sunshine City Exhibition Hall C+D (3-1-4 Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo) Date and Time: November 19 (Wednesday) 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM November 20 (Thursday) 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Our booth location: D-38 We sincerely look forward to your visit.
