Completion of Environmentally Friendly Cutting-edge Heat Treatment Plant
Solar panels (New plant in Ohta)As part of expanding heat treatment business, we started operation of the ninth plant in Ohta City, Gunma Prefecture in May.
Ohta City is one of the largest industrial cities in the Northern Kanto area where automobile and die assembly industries gather. Our presence in the area will strengthen our production capacity and our network in the Kanto area in addition to existing plants.
The new plant in Ohta is the environmentally friendly cutting-edge plant with energy saving heat treatment facilities and equipment and is committed to reduction of CO2 emission. Highly efficient heat treatment equipment of own design was introduced in the energy saving heat treatment facilities and CO2 emission will be 37% less than that of existing plants. High energy saving ancillary facilities and lighting equipment were also introduced to reduce CO2 emission as much as possible.
Solar panels (100 kW class) were installed on the roof of this plant, contributing to reduced power consumption.
Highly efficient heat treatment facilities(cemented furnace)
We have been promoting recycling of scrapped metal in our attempt to reduce wastes. In addition to this, we are committed to promoting recycling of other types of wastes such as used cooking oil, wood wastes and used plastic.
As our industry uses thermal energy as means of manufacturing, our efforts for fighting global warming are very important. We were able to reduce CO2 emission significantly by introducing and improving energy saving facilities and equipment. We also focus on development of energy saving heat treatment equipment. We succeeded in developing epoch-making equipment that releases 52% less CO2 and the equipment is well recognized by automobile manufacturers that are fighting global warming. We will further strive to conduct our business with conservation of the earthfs environment in mind together with our customers, under the motto of being gHuman-friendly and Environmental-friendly.h
