Many customers come to Hamakyu because they have a common problem that needs help. The requirements are given many such as:

"I need a material that has the highest purity. Our goal is to eliminate anything that could affect the final properties and quality of the product we supply. Mechanics and optics are very important in our environment. "

"I am looking for a polymer material that can be machined with maximum precision, allowing me to offer exceptional part designs."

"We are increasingly emphasizing the environmental aspects of our processes and setting specific company-wide goals. I need the material that it contributes to these goals elsewhere. We are thinking to significantly reduce or eliminate the external lubrication of machinery and components.Additionally, to protect workers' health and the environment, we are looking for for a solution to help reduce noise caused by simple device movement during operation."

"I am looking for an alternative material for machine parts in the food production process. The most important thing is that it needs to work under high temperatures, and exposure to humidity does not affect quality." mechanical and electrical of the material. Apparently it needs to be approved for food contact in accordance with the standard regulations of public bodies around the globe. "

"Can you deliver a material that almost never stops and is specifically tested for low strength and pressure? Now we really need to reduce material costs and yield loss due to equipment maintenance or equipment part failure often occurs.

"Our agile business requires high-performance materials for equipment parts, able to withstand different chemicals for a long time (long-life equipment). In the past they were. I had to replace critical parts too often, and at a substantial cost. We were looking for a solution to this situation - high quality and safe materials that allow us to save money."

Our Solution

Pharmaceutical - Processing drugs

During the manufacture of pill tablets, the product is diverted into individual lines using the turn arm. These arms must be kept steady and straightforward throughout its life cycle. The company that makes these handlebars has fabricated them from Hydex * PBT but has struggled to maintain the required flatness. The design of the department includes a tape at one end of the "hockey" shaped bar (top of the blade). The overall thickness of the body is 4.83 mm and can be extended up to 0.89 mm at the top. Although materials are machined from both sides of the sheet, they cannot keep parts flat after machining. Ertalyte satisfies all the requirements and is chosen as a substitute material.

Why is it Ertalyte?

Better machinability of the material
Less excluded from tough specs
Approved by FDA

Desalination - water plant equipment

The principle of this device, used to produce drinking water (desalination) in onboard equipment, is based on reverse osmosis. The function of this device is to take advantage of the 60 bar high pressure required to produce drinking water from seawater. The production of drinking water is carried out in a large chamber made of 2 boreholes: one for drinking water and the other for seawater. A filter is placed between 2 drill holes. Water can go from one compartment to the other through the filter and vice versa. To pass through the filter, a pressure of 60 bar will be applied to push water through the filter with osmotic pressure. This device is a dual pressure styler. After pushing water through the filter to one of the drill holes, the high pressure is conserved and back into the other chamber. To enable this dual functionality a receiver with an internal plunger is required. The plunger has a special design combined with a reciprocal movement, allowing pressure to travel from one line to another and thus reversing pressure from one circuit to another.

Why is it Ertalyte?

The good functioning of the pit ton is used
Good chemical properties
Excellent abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance
Low stability and weight

Ice and ice cream production facility

The dramatic increase in production volumes during the hottest days of the summer prompted a stone producer to contact us. High-speed production requires material improvements for equipment parts, especially as a substitute for the metal used as a flange bearing in a shavings, ice-cream facility.

Metal parts broke prematurely due to dullness and excessive wear. Value recommendation: Ertalyte. With Ertalyte PET-P based bearings, they can defeat heat and move faster to the surrounding rock.

Why is it Ertalyte?

Ideal for both wet and dry environments
High strength and rigidity - ideal for cold air-resistant components in close proximity
Good resistance to dirt
Good wear resistance and excellent dimensional stability
Better acid resistance than nylon or acetal

Train, electric car

Trams are used for public transport on the Belgian coast. The trains consist of three main parts (trolleys): A front part, a final part with a dashboard and the middle part is the third floating section. The bearings provide the trolley with flexibility to follow the rails along curvilinear or steep rails.

A disc allows for lateral rotation of the vessel, while cylindrical bearings allow for longitudinal flexibility when riding on ramps. Both the gear unit, the spindle disc and the cylindrical ball bearing, are now made of Ertalyte, replacing "Permaglide" (PTFE heat-resistant material) due to better performance.
