INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGY FROM JAPAN, part of the wide array of
exhibits on a worldwide tour with the Tokyo City Promotion Show 2005. Among
the exhibits, The Supervibrating Alpha Agitator from JTC (Japan Techno Co.).
Mr. Hiroyuki Shuno with JTC explained practical applications for the
agitator and how it differs from any other agitator available.
Industries which commonly employ agitators in production include; metal
plating, pharmaceuticals, paints, food products, cosmetics, and wastewater
treatment. Propeller type agitators often used in these industries can cause
unwanted bubbling, uneven dispersion, and moving parts become clogged. The
Supervibrating Agitator from JTC has no moving parts. The vibrating blades
produce a random and powerful turbulence.
Mr. Hiroyuki Shuno's demonstration included a tank of water with a small
unit like the one pictured right immersed into it. At first glance the water
seemed almost calm with no bubbling or sound. Placing my hand into the water
told a different story. The current was very strong indeed, strangely so
considering the small quiet motor and blades which appeared stationary. A
propeller type unit used to create this effect can weigh twice as much and
use 10 times the power.
Because the agitator produces such a powerful random turbulence, some
industries can achieve what was not possible before. One example, metal
plating, where production of printed circuit boards requires plating inside
very small holes. The agitator delivers, allowing previously difficult or
impossibly small holes to be satisfactorily plated.
