no-buffing

“Buffing” or “Buff polishing” is often done at the end of stainless steel products. Generally, stainless steel surfaces are shiny because they are buffed.

Buffing removes burrs and scratches during processing and improves surface smoothness. Because it makes a very beautiful appearance, buffing is generally done.

But the beautiful thing is just the appearance. Basically, if you don’t buff it, you can keep it clean. In this article, I will explain the reasons for this and NITTO KINZOKU’s commitment and consciousness.

1. It is better NOT to do buff-polishing.

When dealing with stainless steel containers, which are ideal for CBD ingredients, the only thing to watch out for is foreign matter contamination due to rusting.

Experiment: When an airtight container is knocked over, how much water will leak out?

Posted on by monovate

NITTO KINZOKU KOGYO’s airtight containers have 2 different kinds of sealing lid: clip-down type “CTH” and lock lever ring type “CTL”.

All of them are sufficiently airtight for use in storage, etc. However, it is not clear how much of the contents will leak when the container is in an abnormal condition.

In order to confirm this, we checked the amount of water leakage by laying down two types of containers. So, how much difference do they have?

Differences between "clip-down" type and "lock lever ring" type sealing mechanism

NITTO KINZOKU KOGYO’s airtight containers have 2 different kinds of sealing lid: clip-down type “CTH” and lock lever ring type “CTL”. Let’s start with a brief explanation of each.

Importance of Tri Clamp and Tightening Torque Management

Posted on by monovate

When we’re trying to “tighten” something, we tend to think about fixing the object so that it cannot move at all.

However, “tight screwing” does not necessarily mean “secure tightening. ” It is important to tighten with appropriate torque. Excessive tightening may cause deformation or breakage of parts.

Also, the user should be careful about the protrusion of the gasket due to excessive tightening. The gasket between the piping or between the lid and the container may protrude into or out of the container or piping, resulting in poor sealing performance and contamination.

In this article, we will focus on the inside protrusion of the ferrule gasket. When the ferrule was tightened with a clamp, we experimented on how much the gasket protrudes due to the tightening torque.

Useful Tips, Flexible/Fixed Casters Mounting Location

Posted on by monovate

A stainless steel container is heavier than a resin container. If the container contains contents or is made to withstand pressure, it will be much heavier.
In such stainless containers, it is common to move by using a cart or attaching caster legs.

But isn’t it a little irritating when casters don’t move the way you want them to?
In fact, there are several different types of casters on the basis of their movement, and the workability can be improved greatly by selecting them according to different usages.

This article explains the combination and arrangement of “Flexible Casters” and “Fixed Casters” among various types of casters according to the usage.

Content 

  • This is annoying! The reason why casters don’t work well
  • 2 different types of casters: flexible casters and fixed casters
  • Things you need to consider to choose casters appropriately: mobility, convenience of going straight,  weight of objects to be carried
