Conference: IMRET18 – 18th International Conference on Microreaction Technology
Dates: September 27 (Sun.) – 30 (Wed.), 2026
Venue: Miyako Messe, Kyoto Industrial Promotion Hall, Kyoto, Japan

Tipton will exhibit its TVF® Taylor vortex flow continuous crystallization and reaction system at IMRET18, the 18th International Conference on Microreaction Technology.

Designed for applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, and chemical industries, TVF® is a continuous processing system that utilizes the uniform shear forces generated by Taylor vortex flow between concentric cylinders.

The system can be applied to a wide range of processes, including mixing, chemical reactions, and crystallization, helping manufacturers achieve improved particle size control, shorter processing times, and greater process efficiency through continuous production.

In addition, Professor Naoto Ohmura of the Graduate School of Engineering, Kobe University, will present the results of joint research with Tipton on continuous crystallization.

Using glycine crystallization as a model system, the presentation will introduce a method for controlling crystal polymorphism by utilizing flow fluctuations generated within a narrow flow channel.

• Presentation Title: Noise-Enabled Polymorph Control in a Microstructured Taylor–Couette Reactor for Continuous Crystallization
• Date & Time: September 29 (Tue.), 2026, 11:40 AM – 12:00 PM

Presenter and Co-Researchers:
Kobe University: Naoto Ohmura, Yuichiro Tanaka, Yoshiyuki Komoda
Tipton: Kairi Kato, Tatsuki Kawahara

We invite you to visit us at IMRET18 and learn more about TVF® technology and our latest research in continuous crystallization and Taylor–Couette reactor technology.

The award ceremony for the FY2025 Nagoya Industrial Technology Grand Prix, organized by the Nagoya Industrial Promotion Corporation, was held on February 20 at the Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute.

At this year’s Grand Prix, our mass finishing process analysis service received the prestigious “Director of Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute Award.”

Our contract analysis service utilizes a proprietary simulator developed in-house to analyze mass finishing processes in detail.
By accurately simulating media motion and workpiece behavior, we are able to propose optimized processing conditions, contributing to improved surface quality, enhanced productivity, and reduced trial-and-error in manufacturing.
