100% Natural Power Pumice, Non Christal Silica Powders


100% Natural Power Pumice, Non Christal Silica Powders


DYMCO sells steel belts.
And one more thing.  It is Power Pumice, 100% natural silica powders.
We are Asian Representative of Hess Pumice Products, Inc. in Idaho in the U.S. and sell their natural pumice in Japan, China and other Asian countries.

Power Pumice is used as abrasives, paint filler, filtering media, etc.
Large powders are granular, small ones are fine powders.
These are mainly composed of a kind of silica.
Environmentally friendly powders are used in many ways in our daily lives.



Environmentaly Friendly Power Pumice

Powders are porous, excellent in "breathability" and "water absorption."
So they are suitable for horticultural soil and sands for pets.
We can magine that in the future pumice may serve best for hydroponics.
Hydroponics is expected to be tough against higher temperature by global warmng.
For details of Power Pumice, please contact

Suction Transport Varietions: plastic cups transport, incline transport, etc.

Suction Transport Variations: plastic cups transport, incline transport, etc.

Our suction belt has tiny suction holes on metal belt surface.
Suction holes are all over the surface.
This is why you can transport objects at any spot on the belt,
you can make transport surface inclined, and
things does not fall even if inverted.
Plastic cups are suction-transported on the returning side.
Suction is working on both belt upper surface and returning surface.
Belt surface is inclined but papers are sucked and transported.
We accept our customer requests of suction transport tests ar Dymco.These tests and trials are done by the conveyor in pictures above.
If you are very far away from Japan, we may send a compact suction conveyor upon request.
For details please contact us at overseas@dymco.co.jp.

Metal Belt Quality Control - Hole Pitch Measurement


 Metal Belt Quality Control - Hole Pitch Measurement
 

We do measurements using micrometer, calipers, pi tapes and such.
These acts sustain quality of our steel belts.

On some belts of
perforated ones we perform hole pitch measurements on micron order by 2D image measuring machine of the picture below.

We keep the required quality by these measurement and inspection in each process.

When you replace plastic and rubber belts with metal belt

When you replace plastic and rubber belts with metal belt


We hav been appealing metal belts for more than 30 years.
But we still find many people who are not familiar with metal belts.
This cannot be helped in a way.
 
However, those people suddenly face problems like trasport under heat, belt elongation, or viblatin of the transport surface.
Then metal belts emerge in ther mind.
We have many phone calls of those people in Japan and email questions from all over the world.
 
These calls and  emails are very important to us.
Becuase there are key engineering points when metal belts are introduced for the first time.
 
Here in Japan we lend conveyors like the picture below.
 
Steel Belt Conveyor: CC 500mm, Metal Belt covered with Green Fluorescent Coating,
Belt Thickness 0.15mm, Belt Width 50mm
 
With overseas users we listen to their situations and lend the conveyor when conditions are agreed.

Simple Air Roll to Elastic Cooling Roll

Simple Air Roll to Elastic Cooling Roll

 Air roll was developed about 20 years ago.
It was very simple structure.  The outside is a metal sleeve and inside air pressure is kept.
It has metal surface, yet possess elasticity like rubber.
Test unit to compare  "rigid cooling roll (front)" and
"elastic cooling roll  with a chiller (back)"
However, requirements are getting higher and more difficult in production of plastic sheets and films now.  
To this needs DYMCO succeeded to set a rubber roll inside the metal sleeve so that the air roll can stand different pressure.

Popular rigid rolls, their thickness is 7 to 8mm, very thick.
The metal sleeve thickness of our elastic rolls is only 0.2 to 0.3mm.
Thin surface brings superior heat transfer efficiency.
Also with nipping by thin metal, contact surface between the roll and film becomes wider.
All these contribute to cooling efficiency.  
We see a possibility that the cooling line becomes shorter.

For details, please contact us.

Metal Belt Suction Conveyor

Metal Belt Suction Conveyor

Last December we exhibited Highly-Functional FILM EXPO at Makuhari Messe.
We had chances to have good discussion with many visitors.
Every year overseas visitors are increasing, especially from China.
We could guess there active markets and technical needs there.

Is it difficult to convey thin functional films in flat state.
Visitors having such an issue watched and touched the belt surface of our suction conveyor.
We felt various need are coming up as films are getting more functional and the total process becomes complicated.

DYMCO at Highly-functional FILM EXPO and our suction conveyor
 
Also displayed were disposable version of seamless molds and Double Belt Heat Press Unit.
We wanted to show that very expensive pattern molds can be replaced with its replica and that two metal belts can sandwich films to laminate them or to cause special features by heating and pressing.
   
If you have a chance to come to Yokohama, Japan, please try your visit to DYMCO.
You can test suction transport, heat and press transport, and touch various metal belt conveyors.

Great Potential in Metal Belts

Great Potential in Metal Belts

Our management and accountants often talk with people working banks and finacial industries. 
They pay attention to our metal belts, too,
for our belts are unique and great potential to creat new markets.
Those belts are like the ones in the pictures below.

Metal Sleeves for Film Forming
Our belts are expected to creat and handle new functional matrials.
