  • Patent number: 9919349
    Abstract: A cleaning method is provided for on-site cleaning of equipment such as filling equipment that fills beverages, etc. into bottles, cans, and other containers, liquid treatment equipment for filling solutions, and pipe equipment for connecting said equipment, the method being able to increase significantly the cleanliness of portions in contact with the filling solution while shortening cleaning time and reducing the amount used of utilities such as cleaning solution, etc. In the cleaning method for on-site cleaning of the liquid pathways of equipment such as filling equipment (4) for filling beverages into bottles, cans and other containers, liquid-treatment equipment (3) for filling solutions, or pipe equipment (4p) that connects said equipment, liquid comprising nanobubbles is pumped into said equipment and is left undisturbed to soak for a prescribed period.

  • Patent number: 6915673
    Abstract: A worm is formed by rolling to reduce the number of processing steps while ensuring the worm accuracy satisfactorily. A work material is positioned between a first rolling die (100) and a second rolling die (101) by rotation of the rolling dies and a servomotor (76) for feeding the work material. When the lead angle of a worm is large and there is a large difference between the finished diameter and the blank diameter, the lead angle changes during the progress of rolling process, resulting in occurrence of through-feed. A slide plate (55) is freely slidable on a slide (53). Therefore, when through-feed occurs owing to the lead angles of the first and second rolling dies (100) and (101) and the workpiece, the slide plate (55) slides freely, and this is detected with a detecting sensor. The rotation of the first and second rolling dies (100) and (101) is stopped.

  • Patent number: 6418767
    Abstract: A round die type form rolling apparatus comprises: a pair of die moving blocks 15a, 15b rotatably supporting a pair of round dies 12a, 12b; four beam shafts 19 disposed around the rolling position of a work 33 being rolled by the round dies 12a, 12b and extending between the pair of die moving blocks 15a, 15b; and a push mechanism 20 for moving the pair of die moving blocks 15a, 15b toward each other. The die moving blocks 15a, 15b are moved, guided by the beam shafts 19, toward each other and the reaction forces generated between a pair of the round dies 12a, 12b by the rolling pressure are shared by the beam shafts 19 to prevent the round dies from escaping outwardly upwardly due to the reaction force from the work that is generated when the rolling pressure is applied to the work. This arrangement improves the machining precision of the work.
